Enterprise Partnerships Lead (Financial Markets)

• Location: North America Remote (US preferred)
• Employment Type: Full-Time

Who is Risk Labs?

Risk Labs is the foundation and core team behind UMA and Across .

We operate as one cohesive, globally distributed team building infrastructure that pushes crypto forward. UMA’s Optimistic Oracle records verifiable truth onto blockchains. Across is leading interoperability through intent-based architecture. Both are decentralized protocols governed by global communities and supported by Risk Labs Foundation.

We are remote-first, high-agency, and impact-driven.

The Opportunity

Risk Labs is hiring an Enterprise Partnerships Lead to help drive institutional adoption of UMA's oracle infrastructure.

Prediction markets are rapidly evolving from a niche crypto use case into a meaningful new category of market infrastructure. Exchanges, brokerages, sportsbooks, fintech platforms, and trading venues are increasingly exploring how prediction markets can power new products and experiences.

We believe UMA is uniquely positioned to become the infrastructure layer powering this shift.

We're looking for a senior commercial leader who can build strategic relationships with sophisticated institutions, navigate complex technical and regulatory conversations, and help bring new enterprise partnerships to life.

This is not a traditional high-volume sales role.

Success in this position will come from deeply understanding a small number of high-value opportunities, building trust with senior decision makers, and helping shape solutions that meet both customer and market needs.

You'll work directly with leadership and have significant influence over how UMA expands into this emerging category.

Prior prediction market experience is not required.

What You'll Do

Own a focused portfolio of high-value enterprise opportunities from initial outreach through commercial close and long-term expansion

Build trusted relationships with sophisticated institutional counterparties

Lead commercial and technical conversations with business, product, engineering, and executive stakeholders

Translate customer requirements into actionable product feedback for internal teams

Partner closely with product, engineering, legal, and leadership teams to navigate technical diligence, compliance considerations, and commercial structuring

Drive enterprise integrations from early technical scoping through launch

Help shape UMA's enterprise go-to-market strategy

Represent Risk Labs at strategic industry events, conferences, and partnership discussions

Help establish UMA as the preferred oracle infrastructure provider for institutional prediction market applications

What We're Looking For

Core Requirements

7+ years of experience in enterprise sales, strategic partnerships, business development, technical commercial roles, or similar

Strong track record of closing complex enterprise deals with sophisticated institutional buyers

Experience managing long sales cycles involving multiple stakeholders

Strong technical fluency and comfort discussing APIs, integrations, technical products, and infrastructure

Excellent executive communication skills

Strong product judgment and ability to translate customer needs into clear product direction

Ability to operate independently and thrive in ambiguous environments

Nice to Have

Experience working with financial institutions, exchanges, brokers, trading firms, sportsbooks, fintech infrastructure providers, or other regulated market participants

Familiarity with US market regulation and institutional trading environments

Experience navigating enterprise compliance, procurement, and legal processes

Comfort reading API documentation and reasoning about technical systems

Exposure to blockchain infrastructure, oracle systems, prediction markets, or crypto-native products

We are particularly interested in candidates who have built relationships with regulated institutions and know how to navigate complex commercial environments.

Success in This Role

Within your first 12 months, success may look like:

Closing multiple strategic institutional partnerships

Generating meaningful revenue growth for UMA

Bringing enterprise integrations live

Helping shape UMA's product roadmap through direct customer insight

Expanding UMA's footprint across prediction markets and adjacent financial infrastructure categories

Why This Role Matters

Prediction markets are becoming an increasingly important part of the future financial ecosystem.

Risk Labs is helping build the infrastructure layer that powers this shift.

The person in this role will help define how exchanges, brokerages, sportsbooks, trading platforms, and other institutional participants engage with prediction markets in the years ahead.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new category while working directly with company leadership and some of the most sophisticated organizations in financial markets.
