Job Summary

Own the growth of a trading platform by expanding liquidity partnerships, onboarding top dealers, scaling graded and raw card markets, and launching live trading partnerships.

  • Own end-to-end onboarding of liquidity providers
  • Scale initial buyer and seller cohorts for graded and raw cards
  • Launch and manage vaulted market partnerships

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Grow Our Existing Business: We have a strong base of resellers and liquidity providers, including some of the biggest breakers, wholesalers, and card shops in the Hobby, with plenty of room to double down.
  • Onboard More Liquidity: Win the biggest breakers, show dealers, card shops, and consignors we haven't onboarded yet, and own those accounts end-to-end.
  • Launch Graded / Raw Sports Cards: We've already built instant liquidity on graded and raw cards. We need an owner to scale the first cohorts of buyers and sellers.
  • Launch Live Trading: Launch and manage partnerships for our instantly settled, 1:1-backed markets on vaulted inventory, where users trade and invest in wax, graded, and raw cards as easily as stocks.

Requirements

  • You're Relentless: We love people who don't stop until they get what they want.
  • You're a Hustler: We admire people who are always finding a new angle to make money, not just doing what's in front of them.
  • You Bet on Yourself: We love people who have taken real risk on something they believed in, built something, walked away from something safe, or backed something nobody else would.
  • You Get Along With Anyone: This Hobby has a thousand different types of people. You understand and can vibe with all of them, and they respect that you know what you're talking about.
  • You're Obsessed with Sports Cards: We love people who live and breathe the Hobby and already have a track record and reputation within it.

Benefits

  • Ownership: Founding title, meaningful equity, and the opportunity to eat what you kill.
  • Green Light: Trips to the National, other card shows, and anything needed for accounts that matter on the company's dime, as often as it's worth it.
  • A Magic Wand: Our engineering team is best in class, and we're always looking for ways to improve what we already have. If you have an idea you deeply believe will make us money, we'll build it.
  • Stipends: Taxable housing stipend to live by the office, gym stipend, and lunch and dinner in the office.
