Business Development Manager (Sports Betting/Prediction Markets)
About This Role
Wintermute has spent nearly a decade building liquidity and trading infrastructure across digital assets, OTC markets, and DeFi ecosystems. Now we're channeling that expertise into prediction markets, and we're looking for someone with deep roots in the sports betting world to help us scale this business. This isn't a cookie-cutter BD role—you'll have real autonomy to shape how Wintermute builds relationships with VIP bettors and sophisticated market participants from day one.
What You'll Be Doing
Cultivate and manage relationships with high-value sports bettors, VIPs, and other sharp market participants
Tap into your existing network to introduce new clients to Wintermute's growing sports and prediction markets platform
Pinpoint where the most active, high-stakes bettors congregate and craft strategies to engage them
Guide clients through the full relationship lifecycle—from first contact through onboarding, activation, and long-term account management
Understand each client's trading behavior and preferences, translating insights into tailored service offerings
Expand your network organically through industry events, referrals, and strategic introductions within the betting and crypto communities
What We're Looking For
A proven track record working with high-value sports bettors or VIP clients in a betting, trading, or prediction markets context
Strong existing relationships within the sports betting ecosystem that can be activated quickly
Deep understanding of how sophisticated bettors think, operate, and make decisions
Comfort operating independently in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment typical of blockchain and crypto-native firms
Excellent relationship-building and negotiation skills, with a knack for converting connections into lasting commercial partnerships
Genuine interest in digital assets, decentralized markets, and the convergence of sports betting with blockchain technology
Bonus Points
Prior exposure to DeFi, smart contracts, or decentralized trading platforms
Existing relationships within crypto-native trading firms or market makers
Familiarity with event-driven or prediction market mechanics
Experience operating across both traditional betting markets and emerging distributed ledger ecosystems
Why Join Us
Competitive compensation with meaningful upside tied to the growth of a high-potential business line
A hybrid, flexible work culture spanning London, New York, and remote-friendly setups
The chance to directly shape Wintermute's expansion into one of crypto's fastest-growing verticals
Access to a team of world-class traders, technologists, and blockchain innovators building the future of market infrastructure
