Job Description:
Sales Director (China BD Director)
1. Position Title: Sales Director

- Continuously acquiring high-quality Web3 projects
- Facilitating rapid project deployment on the blockchain
- Establishing a project tiering mechanism
- Identifying high-potential projects
- Collaborating with ecosystem, product, and operations teams for focused incubation
This role is not a traditional "sales management position" but rather a project growth leader for the Chinese/global market. You will need to build a scalable project acquisition system that enables the sales team to consistently generate project leads, drive project deployment, and identify projects with genuine user, transaction volume, and ecosystem potential.
Key Responsibilities:
- 1. Establish a project acquisition system for the Chinese market:

- Establish standardized BD SOPs to ensure team scalability beyond individual capabilities
- 3. Develop a "project deployment mechanism":
- Shift team focus from "finding clients" to "finding projects"
- Create standardized processes for key stages: decision-maker identification, project valuation, commercial negotiation, technical integration, deployment coordination, marketing alignment, and post-launch operations
- 4. Implement project tiering:
- Develop a project scoring model
- Sales team focuses on mass acquisition while the director establishes "mass acquisition + precision screening" mechanisms
- 5. Create key project incubation:
- For S/A-tier projects, coordinate across sales, ecosystem, operations, marketing, and technical teams
- Establish growth loop: project acquisition → deployment → data validation → potential identification → resource allocation → benchmark creation
- 6. Directly handle strategic projects:
- Personally engage in founder communications, commercial negotiations, strategic partnerships, resource exchanges, ecosystem incentives, co-marketing, and project incubation
Core KPIs:
- Project quantity

- Team efficiency metrics:
- Leads per person

- Deployed projects per person
- Lead-to-deployment conversion rate

Job Requirements:
- Must have:
- 5+ years in Web3/Crypto/blockchain BD, sales or ecosystem development

- Ability to build sales processes, training systems and performance mechanisms
- Strong negotiation and project evaluation skills
- Direct access to project founders, core teams and investment institutions
