APhone is the first and currently the only Web3 decentralized cloud phone OS, powered by Aethir. APhone provides the same one-stop solutions as the Solana Saga Phone – full pre-installed dApp store, built-in crypto wallet, Web3-level security, phone-tied identity verification, dApp store-wide payments with our native token - but we are just a software available on ANY mobile device for only $50 per year. We look like an app on your home screen, but we’re actually an entire Web3 OS that hosts dozens of pre-installed dApps running smoothly on an Android, iPhone, or desktop. After launching on Solana mainnet on March 7th, we’ve already sold $3.3M in one-year subscriptions to our OS, with TGE planned for mid Q2.

We’re looking for a Business Development Manager specifically focused on GameFi to join our growing team and help us onboard more GameFi dApps to the APhone store.This is a remote position, with a general location preference for the US, Europe, or East Asia.

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Ensure alignment between product development, marketing, and sales teams to maximize the impact of partnerships and integrations.
• Thought Leadership: Help represent APhone at industry events, conferences, and forums, sharing insights and promoting our vision for a decentralized digital future.

Requirements
