About Everstake
Everstake is the leading decentralized staking provider, trusted by millions of users and institutions globally.
We support 85+ Proof-of-Stake blockchains, securing over $6.5 billion in assets while delivering reliable rewards through non-custodial infrastructure.
As staking becomes a core layer of the financial stack, Everstake powers the platforms that serve the next generation of users — from crypto-native wallets and DeFi apps to custodians and fintechs integrating staking at scale.
Our Vision
The MENA region is entering a new phase of crypto infrastructure adoption.
Regulatory clarity, sovereign digital asset strategies, and rising fintech penetration create a unique opportunity to integrate staking into consumer and institutional platforms.
From regulated custodians in the UAE, to neobanks in Saudi Arabia, and wallet providers across the broader region, Everstake is building the partnerships that will make staking a default feature — not a fringe add-on
Role Overview
As Senior Business Development Manager – MENA, you’ll lead Everstake’s growth in the region by securing and scaling integrations with crypto platforms, digital asset custodians, exchanges, fintechs, and Web3 infrastructure providers.
You’ll own the full partner lifecycle — from sourcing to negotiation, technical scoping to go-live.
You’ll work cross-functionally to ensure every partner launch is a success, and that Everstake’s infrastructure becomes the staking backbone of choice across the MENA region.
Key Responsibilities
Partner Origination & Closing: Identify, engage, and close high-value integrations across MENA — including platforms serving both institutional and retail crypto users.
Technical & Regulatory Enablement: Navigate compliance, custody models (e.g., MPC), and regulatory considerations (VASP registration, Shariah compliance, etc.) in collaboration with our Legal and Product teams.
Launch Execution: Coordinate integration timelines with internal and external teams, drive technical readiness, and support product and marketing on go-to-market rollout.
Strategic Market Development: Position Everstake as a trusted staking infrastructure partner at regional events (e.g., Token2049 Dubai, ETH Riyadh,...
) and in targeted outbound initiatives.
Intelligence Sharing: Surface insights from the field to inform Everstake’s product roadmap, partner tooling, and regional GTM strategy and collaborate internally with Product, development and management teams to deliver smooth integration processes implementation and business sustainability
Success in this Role Looks Like
Launch and scale 3–5 strategic partner integrations within your first 6 months
Drive 8–9 figures in Assets Under Staking via partner channels
Shorten average integration timelines through proactive deal orchestration
Deepen Everstake’s visibility and positioning across the MENA ecosystem
Build a trusted network of C-level counterparts at the region’s leading custodians, institutions, banks, neobanks, fintechs, and wallets
Compensation & Benefits
We offer a competitive base salary, a performance-based variable bonus tied to partner and Assets Under Staking growth, and equity plan aligned with impact and based on seniority and tenure.
As part of a globally distributed team, you'll also have access to travel budgets for events and partner meetings, with flexible remote work support.
If you’re ready to help shape staking’s future in the MENA., we want to hear from you.
