Senior Ecosystem Growth Manager

Ripple is transforming how value moves across the global financial system through blockchain technology and crypto solutions built for financial institutions, businesses, governments, and developers. The company works across cross-border payments, stablecoins, lending platforms, and emerging use cases in AI-powered transactions. RippleX, the developer-focused division, is seeking a Senior Ecosystem Growth Manager to scale the community of founders and startups building on the XRP Ledger and drive adoption of Ripple's solutions in real-world markets.

You'll own the full lifecycle of ecosystem development and partnerships. Your days involve sourcing high-potential projects through VCs, accelerators, corporates, and strategic partners, then building a portfolio of tier-one relationships that keep XRPL visible and drive introductions across the founder, investor, and partner landscape. You'll map value chains across cross-border payments, stablecoins and FX, lending and credit, and agentic payments to identify gaps and unlock adoption. You're the point person for founders considering XRPL and for market participants—investors, accelerators, conference organizers—who shape where the ecosystem goes. Beyond sourcing, you'll structure and close deals from first conversation through signed partnerships or grants, designing terms that align incentives and deploying capital strategically. You'll also shape Ripple's market narrative, turning competitive dynamics and regulatory developments into clear, actionable recommendations that influence product direction and go-to-market priorities across Product, Engineering, Business Development, and Go-to-Market teams.

You bring 8+ years in business development, strategic partnerships, corporate strategy, or venture capital, ideally in enterprise fintech, financial services, payments, or treasury technology. You've built commercial opportunities from ambiguous starting points without an existing playbook, and you have a genuine, active network across fintech and crypto—the kind of person founders and funds call before deals are public. You understand both blockchain and traditional finance deeply and have a real passion for crypto. You're meticulous and thorough in analysis, a clear communicator who can influence senior executives, and comfortable working with autonomy in ambiguous situations.

Direct experience in cross-border payments, stablecoins, FX, lending, or agentic payments strengthens your candidacy. Familiarity with XRP Ledger and RLUSD is valued. If you have emerging markets experience or speak a Latin American language, that's a plus—Latin America is a strategic focus for this role.

The position is based in Miami, Florida. This is a full-time role offering you real autonomy and the backing of a global team to move markets and build lasting value.
