About Decibel
Decibel is a high-performance, fully on-chain trading platform built in collaboration with Aptos Labs and the Decibel Foundation. Designed to match the speed of high performance trading, Decibel offers spot, perpetuals, and yield products through a unified, self-custodial interface. The platform runs on the Aptos blockchain, leveraging its sub-20ms block times and parallel execution to support real-time settlement, cross-margining, and modular vault strategies. Decibel aims to serve as the execution layer for the Aptos global trading engine, empowering traders, developers, and institutions with scalable, composable financial infrastructure.
About the role
Decibel is hiring Growth Partners to lead trader acquisition in key regional markets. This is a senior, network-driven sales role for someone who already has the relationships and the reputation to bring active, high-volume traders onto the platform, and wants to be paid accordingly. You'll own your market end to end: building a pipeline, onboarding traders through your referral channel, and growing a book whose revenue you share in directly. It suits people from high-performance sales backgrounds, brokerage introducing brokers, affiliate and partnerships, crypto community leadership, or direct sales, who are motivated by outcomes rather than a fixed paycheck. Compensation is a regionally competitive base plus uncapped commission on the trading revenue you generate, so your earnings scale with your results.
What you'll do
Own trader acquisition for your region, from pipeline to onboarded, active accounts.
Leverage your existing network of traders, VIPs, and trading communities to drive qualified sign-ups through your tracked referral channel.
Build long-term relationships that keep your book trading and retained, not just acquired.
Where it makes sense, recruit and develop sub-partners and earn on the revenue they bring in.
Represent Decibel credibly within your regional trading community and act as a feedback channel back to the product and BD teams.
What you'll bring
A proven track record in sales, business development, affiliate/partnerships, or trading community leadership, with results you can speak to.
An active, verifiable network of traders in your region, or a clear, credible plan to build one quickly.
Native-level fluency in your market's language and genuine standing in its trading scene.
Comfort with a performance-based model and the self-direction to run your own market without close oversight.
Integrity around volume. We pay on genuine activity and screen rigorously for anything else.
Nice to have: existing relationships with trading KOLs or VIP desks; familiarity with perpetualsand DEX trading; a named pipeline you can begin working from day one.
Compensation
Regionally benchmarked base salary .
Uncapped commission on the net trading fees Decibel collects from traders you onboard.
A single-level override on revenue generated by sub-partners you recruit.
Monthly performance bonus at defined volume milestones.
A 90-day ramp during which full targets are phased in, so you can build before you're held to quota.
Commission is paid monthly on net fees actually collected and is variable by nature; figures are illustrative, not guaranteed.
Our Benefits
Insurance premium coverage
Flexible vacation time
Competitive Salary
Protocol Token Grants
