The Block's team spans 5 continents and 15+ time zones, covering the global cryptocurrency space 24/7. At The Block, we see digital assets as a ubiquitous part of the future. As this space continues to evolve, we view our role as the trusted moderator and authoritative voice for those who invest in, work with, make decisions about, or seek to understand digital assets. The Block delivers deep insight into how the emerging digital assets sector interacts with traditional finance, technology, governments, and markets. We reach hundreds of thousands of technologists, financial market participants, Fortune 500 professionals, global service providers, policymakers, and more through our main website, dedicated Research Portal, podcast, and events.

Why Join The Block

  • Shape the narrative of crypto education, media, and research
  • Join a company that's respected in the space and has the audience, platform, and reach to move markets 
  • Work remotely with a high-performance team that values ownership, speed, and clarity 
  • Be part of a business that's expanding beyond media into SaaS, certification, and enterprise offerings

About the role

  • The Block Sales Team is looking for a passionate individual to join our revenue organization. As a sponsorship sales representative, you'll be responsible for closing media partnerships, sponsorships, and advertising deals with crypto-native and Web3 companies, as well as broader fintech and tech brands. If you know how to sell premium media placements and speak crypto fluently — we want you.

What you'll do

  • You will work directly with the existing revenue team and own the full sales cycle. Moreover, by leveraging our strong industry network, you will expand your existing knowledge base and have the opportunity to build your own personal brand on social media and within the industry.

What You’ll Bring

  • We’re looking for someone who has:
  • 2–5 years experience in media, advertising, or sponsorship sales
  • Strong understanding of crypto, blockchain, and digital assets (you're at least crypto-curious, ideally crypto-native)
  • Track record of building pipelines and consistently closing mid-sized sponsorship deals ($10K–$100K)
  • Strong client relationship skills and a hunter mentality
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and presentation skills
  • Bonus if you have:
  • Experience selling across multiple media formats (display, audio, events, content syndication)

What Success Looks Like

After 3-6 months in this role, you will have:

  • Own a pipeline of mid-market sponsorship and advertising opportunities
  • Prospect, pitch, and close deals across display ads, podcasts, newsletters, events, and custom programs
  • Build strong relationships with marketing leaders, growth teams, and brand managers across crypto and fintech
  • Collaborate with our Media, Research, and Events teams to package sponsorship solutions that drive real value
  • Meet and exceed monthly and quarterly sales quotas
  • Stay ahead of crypto market trends, key players, and marketing budgets shifts

Work location & Authorization

Candidates must have the legal right to work in the country where they reside or where this role is based without sponsorship.

Compensation & Benefits

We offer competitive, location-based compensation. Our total rewards include:

Remote work flexibility

Paid time off (local holiday policies respected)

Health and wellness benefits (varies by location)

Flexible PTO

401(K) 

Working Hours & Time Zones

You’ll primarily collaborate with team members and clients globally. We promote async work but may require some overlap hours.
