Position Summary & Responsibilities

About Bastion

Bastion provides the regulated infrastructure businesses need to hold, move, and issue stablecoins. Our platform combines custodial wallets, global payment orchestration, and stablecoin issuance. Customers can use each product independently or connect them into a single end-to-end flow.

We operate through our own regulated entities, with compliance and risk controls built directly into the platform. We can also support customers operating under their own licenses with the compliance and financial operations required to run their programs.

Overview

We’re hiring a Director of Partnerships to own the relationships that extend Bastion’s products: banking partners, liquidity providers, blockchain ecosystems, payment networks, and platforms that can embed or resell us.

Every new corridor, chain, or settlement path we offer depends on a partner. Every platform that embeds us is distribution we don’t have to build. You own that portfolio: deepen existing partnerships, open the ones we need, and turn them into product coverage and pipeline.

You work with our CEO, product, and engineering on integration scoping, with legal and compliance on agreements, and with sales, who turn the distribution you open into closed business.

While we have a preference for this role to be based in New York City, we are open to the role being remote across the United States.

Work to Be Done

Instead of a list of requirements, we want to give you a directional look into the first 30, 90, and 180 days on the job.

We are a startup, so the pace is fast and the specific work will change. People who thrive here are finding ways to contribute in their first week, and fully productive in their third month. You need to be okay with that.

If you think this is something you can handle, we will be excited to speak with you.

First 30 days: Learn and contribute from week 1
