About The Position

zerohash is seeking a General Manager to lead the business unit responsible for Auth, our foundational account-linking and authentication infrastructure powering secure connections between user wallets, exchanges, and financial accounts. As the GM, you own the P&L, the roadmap, and the external face of Auth. This is a "builder-operator" role for a heavyweight executive who thrives on complexity and high-stakes execution. You will lead global Open Finance policy, personally spearhead Tier-1 enterprise sales cycles, and serve as the executive sponsor for our most strategic institutional partnerships. You are responsible for ensuring that Auth becomes the universal, trusted "connect" button for the global movement of value.

Requirements

• 15+ years of proven leadership experience at the intersection of fintech and traditional banking.
• A strong grasp of how stablecoins and blockchain settlement will disrupt traditional Open Banking rails.
• A track record of closing 7 and 8-figure enterprise deals where you served as the lead negotiator or executive sponsor.
• Deep understanding of the regulatory landscape and the ability to influence policy discussions.
• The ability to command a room, whether it’s a boardroom of bank executives or a roundtable with federal regulators.
• Ability to lead cross-functional teams across engineering, product, and sales to align the roadmap with revenue goals.
• While you are a business leader, you must be able to hold your own in deep technical reviews.

Responsibilities

• Direct the go-to-market strategy for Auth. You will personally lead high-stakes negotiations and close foundational deals with global banks, neo-banks, and payment networks.
• Serve as the primary executive sponsor for Tier-1 accounts. You will build deep, peer-level relationships with C-Suite stakeholders at client organizations to ensure long-term platform stickiness and expansion.
• Drive the total financial health of the Auth business unit, managing revenue targets, pricing strategy, and resource allocation to maximize ROI.
• Define zerohash’s stance on global Open Banking and Digital Asset regulations. You will engage with regulators, industry bodies, and policy-makers to shape the standards that govern account connectivity and data sharing.
• Conduct constant "boots on the ground" analysis of the competitive landscape to ensure Auth remains the superior choice for crypto connectivity.
• Translate complex regulatory requirements into product advantages, ensuring Auth remains the most compliant and trusted bridge.
• Align Engineering, Legal, and Product teams to deliver enterprise-grade APIs that meet the rigorous uptime and security requirements of global finance.
