Work with the Best

Orderly Network is a combination of an orderbook-based trading infrastructure and a robust liquidity layer offering spot and perpetual futures orderbooks. Unlike traditional platforms, Orderly doesn't have a front end; instead, it operates at the core of the ecosystem, providing essential services to projects built on top of it. Our DEX white-label solution is carefully crafted to save builders time and capital while granting access to our bootstrapped liquidity. Picture having the best features of CEXs while keeping settlements on-chain and maintaining full self-custody.

With Orderly, anyone can create a trading application thanks to our seamless plug-and-play experience leveraging our liquidity and composability.

Looking ahead, our grand vision is to create an omnichain protocol, connecting traders from both EVM and non-EVM chains within the same orderbook.

A Glimpse into Your Future at Orderly Network

Orderly's Partnership team accelerates the growth of our ecosystem by identifying, engaging, and supporting builders and partners who build on top of Orderly's infrastructure. In this role, you will be the driving force behind expanding our partner ecosystem — building and managing a robust pipeline of prospective partners, tracking relationship progress through structured CRM workflows, and ensuring partners are activated and growing on Orderly.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who thinks in systems — who can apply internet-era frameworks (funnel management, data-driven tracking, automated workflows) to relationship building and pipeline management at scale.

• What will you be working on?
  • Build and maintain a structured pipeline of prospective partners across multiple verticals (DeFi, gaming, NFT, infrastructure, and beyond), using CRM tools and data-driven tracking systems to manage the full lifecycle from prospect to activation
  • Apply internet-thinking frameworks to relationship management — treat partner outreach as a funnel: identify → qualify → engage → activate → grow, with clear metrics and tracking at each stage
  • Develop and execute new growth initiatives to expand the Orderly ecosystem
  • Collaborate with BD, DevRel, Marketing, and Operations teams to implement ecosystem growth initiatives end-to-end
  • Engage with builders, investors, exchanges, and infrastructure providers to drive ecosystem growth and partnership activation
  • Manage grants programs and hackathon participation to attract builders to build on Orderly and encourage composability
  • Research emerging protocols and verticals; collaborate with L1/L2 ecosystems to drive token utility and cross-chain adoption
  • Maintain a clean, up-to-date partner database with clear status tracking, next-step actions, and follow-up cadences
• Who will you be working with?
  • Maintain close collaboration with Marketing, Operations, Product & BD Teams.
• About you
  • Bilingual fluency in English and Mandarin Chinese — you can switch seamlessly between both languages in business settings (native-level English speaker, e.g., ABC or equivalent bilingual profile, strongly preferred)
  • Energetic and early-career — you're young, hungry, and eager to prove yourself; we value drive and adaptability over years of tenure
  • Internet-native mindset — you naturally think in terms of funnels, pipelines, tracking systems, and data-driven relationship management; you're comfortable using CRM tools, spreadsheets, and automation to manage large volumes of relationships without losing personal touch
  • 2+ years of experience in ecosystem growth, BD, partnerships, or portfolio support at a blockchain (L1/L2), venture firm, or internet/tech company — with demonstrated experience onboarding and growing projects from the ground up
  • You are biased toward action while respecting team-oriented priorities
  • You are no-ego, adaptable, entrepreneurial, detail-oriented
  • You are an excellent speaker and writer
  • You are personable and able to manage expectations across many stakeholders and multiple on-going relationships
