General Manager (DACH)

AI overview

Lead market expansion in Germany by blending public visibility and commercial strategies in the crypto banking sector while shaping the trust and growth initiatives for the DACH region.

At Deblock, we are building the first current account that truly integrates crypto: simple, non-custodial, and human. We are looking for our German General Manager in all but title.

You won't just be the "face" of the brand; you will be the brain behind our German market expansion. You will combine public visibility (PR, Podcasts, Conferences) with commercial strategy (Partnerships, Localisation, Trust-Building).

You will report directly to the Founders and own the "Trust & Growth" engine for the DACH region.

👀 What we are looking for

  • The "Hybrid" Profile: You are 50% Public Figure (comfortable on TV/Stage) and 50% Operator (BizDev/Strategy).
  • Commercial Network: You have a "Rolodex" of contacts at German fintechs, Media outlets, banks, and platforms
  • Trust Builder: You understand the German "Trust Stack" (GDPR, BaFin compliance, TÜV, Verbraucherschutz) and view regulation as a competitive advantage.
  • Crypto Credibility: You can explain "Non-Custodial" to a 60-year-old on national TV without scaring them.

🤩 What will make you stand out

  • Experience negotiating partnerships.
  • A personal brand that leans towards "Expert/Educator" rather than "Hype/Trading."
  • You have successfully navigated a fintech product through German consumer protection hurdles.
  • Experience in "Lobbying Light" - engaging with political or regulatory stakeholders to advocate for our model.

🧑‍💻 What you’ll be working on

  • Public Face: Represent Deblock on top-tier podcasts (OMR, FinanceFwd), TV panels, and key industry stages.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Identify and close integrations that matter to Germans (e.g., local payment methods, tax tool integrations like Blockpit).
  • KOL Management: Don't just "hire influencers." Build a "Council of Experts" curating long-term relationships with credible finance educators (Finanztip, Finanzfluss style).
  • Trust Architecture: Lead the initiative to acquire local trust signals (e.g., registering with consumer protection programs, obtaining local certifications).
  • Localisation Strategy: Adapt our global product roadmap to fit German user habits (e.g., "Do we need an IBAN discriminator strategy?").

🤑 What you’ll get

  • Competitive salary + stock options
  • Private dental + health insurance
  • The best tech for your job
  • 30 days of paid holidays (excl. bank holidays)
  • Option to work 100% remotely or come to the office - your choice!
  • Ability to work abroad for 4 months a year
