Polygon Labs is a global blockchain payments company building and operating infrastructure to move money instantly, reliably, and at internet scale, with the mission to move all money onchain. It is building the Polygon Open Money Stack, an open and integrated stack of services and technologies to instantly and reliably move money anywhere, and put it to work. Its infrastructure has facilitated trillions of dollars in onchain value transfer and supported millions of transactions daily for some of the globe's largest banks, fintechs, enterprises, and consumer applications.
Your RolePolygon is building the infrastructure to move all money onchain. Stablecoins are becoming the settlement layer for global money movement, and Polygon is positioning itself at the centre of that shift through the Open Money Stack: a vertically integrated system combining open blockchain infrastructure, regulated fiat access, compliant wallets, and cross-chain payment orchestration.
The commercial traction is real. Polygon is already generating meaningful revenue and growing fast. Recent acquisitions of Coinme (regulated US fiat on/off-ramps, money transmitter licenses, 50,000 retail locations) and Sequence (smart wallet technology, cross-chain intents) have expanded the product surface significantly. Market momentum is accelerating, with strong inbound interest from partners and the broader ecosystem.
What comes next requires a different kind of commercial leadership. This is a CRO role for someone who wants to build, not optimise. You will take full ownership of the commercial organisation and turn strong, founder-led momentum into a scalable, disciplined revenue engine.

Establish clear frameworks for ICP prioritisation, deal quality, pricing discipline, and commercial decision-making, with a focus on long-term strategic value, sustainable economics, and durable revenue growth
Build and operate the commercial cadence for the company, including pipeline governance, forecasting accuracy, deal reviews, compensation design, performance management, and executive reporting
Partner closely with Product and Marketing leadership to translate product strategy into scalable go-to-market execution, enterprise adoption, and measurable commercial outcomes

Experience leading senior commercial organisations within founder-led companies, with the ability to drive alignment, accountability, and execution across high-performing teams and cross-functional stakeholders
Strong AI fluency and demonstrated experience integrating AI into commercial workflows, operational processes, forecasting, account intelligence, and decision-making across an organisation
