Partner

Location: London (UK-based, international remit)

Employment Type: Full Time

Job Focus: Blockchain Advisory

About Us:

Appold is an award-winning independent blockchain technology and advisory consulting company focused on supporting organisations across the full spectrum of the digital asset ecosystem. This includes major financial institutions, listed companies, asset managers, and blockchain technology protocols. Appold also works closely with legal firms, auditors, insurers, and digital asset recovery investigators.

Over the past five years, Appold has built a strong reputation as a digital asset and blockchain industry specialist, supported by a robust delivery platform capable of executing complex client mandates. These range from service provider due diligence, operational resilience, governance frameworks, acting as auditor’s experts, tokenisation initiatives, DeFi and protocol assessments, digital asset treasury management, investigations, asset recovery, and broader blockchain adoption and implementation projects.

As the firm enters its next phase of growth, we are seeking a Partner-level candidate with an established pipeline of opportunities who can utilise Appold’s infrastructure, expertise, and delivery team as the platform through which client mandates are originated and executed to institutional-grade standards.

The Role:

We are seeking a Partner-level individual with existing client relationships and active opportunities to join the firm and support its continued expansion. Your primary responsibility will be revenue generation and business development, with a particular focus on introducing Appold’s blockchain, governance, audit, operational resilience, and risk advisory services into your sector network.

You will act as a senior representative of the firm, engaging directly with senior decision-makers, while working closely with Appold's delivery team to convert opportunities into long-term client relationships.

This role is intended for someone who understands partnership-led growth models and is looking to co-build the next stage of Appold within defined niche market sectors, rather than operate within a fully built corporate structure.

Key Responsibilities:

• Originate and lead new client relationships across a sector or network.
• Introduce Appold’s advisory services into institutional, protocol and regulated environments.
• Manage senior client conversations from initial engagement through to mandate execution.
• Work with the founders on growth strategy and market expansion.
• Represent Appold externally at client engagements, conferences, events, and industry forums.
• Support the development of repeat and recurring revenue opportunities.

Candidate Profile:

• A proven track record in revenue generation and client origination with people management experience.
• Existing network within a defined sector (such as financial services, insurance, law, fintech, capital markets, defence or adjacent fields).
• Comfortable selling high-value advisory and consulting services focused on measurable client outcomes.
• Commercially minded, self-directed, and outcome-focused with a strong focus on building long-term relationships.
• An interest in blockchain, digital assets, and emerging technology infrastructure.

Direct blockchain experience is helpful but not essential; sector credibility and commercial capability are more important.

Compensation & Structure

• Title: Partner
• Base salary and a revenue share on business generated.
• Clear opportunity to increase influence and long-term participation as Appold grows.

Why Appold:

• Independent, founder-led advisory firm with an investment arm.
• London (Mayfair) based with a global client base.
• Ability to operate entrepreneurially without large-firm bureaucracy.
• Deep connections within the global blockchain industry.
• Direct access to leadership and decision-making.
• Operating in a significant growth market.
