About the role
Role Overview
Head of Product & Business Development - Agentic Payments will own go-to-market and strategic partnerships for Rumble Cloud’s crypto-native infrastructure services and payment rails. This role is responsible for building a high-value ecosystem of exchanges, wallets, AI/agent platforms, and payment providers that positions Rumble Cloud as the default infrastructure for agentic payments. We have offices in Toronto, Sarasota, Miami, and Washington D.C. - the preference would be in a commutable distance from the office, but this position can be remote.
Key Responsibilities
- Define and own the BD strategy for Rumble Cloud’s crypto IaaS and payment infrastructure, including target segments (exchanges, neobanks, payment processors, wallets, DeFi, AI/agent platforms).
- Leverage deep expertise in crypto infrastructure to translate today and future market needs into a robust product and go-to-market roadmap from crypto to agentic payments.
- Build, prioritize, and manage a qualified pipeline of strategic accounts and partners from first touch through closing and expansion.
- Source and close infrastructure and payment processing deals that drive GPU/compute utilization, transaction volume, and Rumble Wallet/payment adoption.
- Structure commercial models for agentic payments and micro-transactions (usage-based, rev-share, interchange-like economics, minimum commitments) aligned with Rumble’s broader strategy.
- Work closely with Product and Engineering to shape the crypto IaaS and payments roadmap (RPC, settlement, custody partners, on/off-ramps, billing, compliance features) based on market feedback.
- Partner with Marketing to develop messaging, positioning, and campaigns for crypto-native and AI/agent-native developers and enterprises.
- Educate priority customers on agentic payment use cases (autonomous subscriptions, machine-to-machine payments, agent wallets) and map these to Rumble Cloud primitives.
- Negotiate and close complex agreements, including joint GTM, co-marketing, technical integration, and multi-year infrastructure commitments.
- Track pipeline, forecast, and performance rigorously in CRM, and report insights to leadership on market trends and product gaps.
- Represent Rumble Cloud at industry events across crypto, payments, and AI/agent ecosystems; build a strong network of C-level and founder relationships.
- Ensure all partnerships and payment flows account for evolving regulatory and compliance requirements across key jurisdictions.
Ideal Candidate Profile
- 5–10+ years in business development, partnerships, or enterprise sales in crypto, payments, or cloud infrastructure, with a track record of closing high-value B2B deals.
- Strong networks in crypto and cloud communities.
- Deep understanding of blockchain primitives (L1/L2, wallets, custody, stablecoins, on/off-ramps, DeFi) and how they intersect with fiat payment systems.
- Strong grasp of emerging agentic payment models and how AI agents will initiate, authorize, and reconcile payments.
- Comfortable operating in a highly technical environment (GPUs, cloud infra, APIs, SLAs) and translating these into clear commercial value propositions.
- Entrepreneurial mindset: self-starter, “hunter” mentality, capable of building a new line of business from 0→1 with minimal structure.
- Excellent negotiation, relationship-building, and stakeholder management skills, including working cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing, and legal/compliance.
- Preferred: prior experience at a crypto exchange, payment processor, wallet provider, or AI infrastructure company.
