The company needs new talent to lead its NFT efforts.
Disney is seeking to bring onboard an NFT expert who will aid in the company’s ventures into the space.
Referred to as a manager of business development, the hire will “help lead Disney’s efforts in the NFT space including monitoring the evolving marketplace, setting category strategy and managing key partners,” according to the job description.
Additional NFT-related duties will include developing distribution strategies, identifying and securing revenue opportunities and maintaining relationships in the technology sector.
