Job description
About the Role
We run an institutional partnerships program that offers sophisticated clients — HNIs, family offices, prop desks, and small funds — structured trading opportunities on our platform. The program is live, and we're now scaling it. We're looking for a dedicated BD/Sales professional to own that growth end to end: sourcing participants, closing them, and managing relationships through onboarding and beyond. This is a hunter role with direct, measurable P&L impact.
What You'll Do :
Build and own the pipeline of prospective program participants — HNIs, family offices, prop trading desks, small hedge funds, and quant teams — in India and among NRIs in hubs such as Dubai, Singapore, and London
Pitch the program to a sophisticated, quantitatively-minded audience and take prospects from first conversation to signed agreement
Work with the trading desk to structure commercial terms for each participant, and with legal/compliance on agreements
Coordinate onboarding with our engineering and trade-ops teams
Manage ongoing relationships: monitor participant activity, fill quality, and satisfaction; identify expansion opportunities; handle escalations
Represent us at trading and crypto industry events, conferences, and community forums to build the program's brand
Feed market intelligence back to product and trading leadership — what participants want, what competitors offer, where the program should evolve
What We're Looking For :
- 4–8 years in institutional sales, business development, or client coverage in trading or financial markets — e.g., exchange/broker institutional desks, OTC desks, prime services, market maker partnerships, PMS/AIF distribution, or wealth management covering trading-oriented clients
- An existing, demonstrable network among HNIs, family offices, prop traders, or fund managers in India and/or NRI hubs
- Solid understanding of derivatives, market microstructure, and market making economics — you can hold your own in conversations about spreads, fill rates, adverse selection, and risk transfer
- Comfort with quantitative commercial discussions and structuring bespoke deals
- Crypto/digital assets market familiarity is a strong plus; genuine curiosity about it is a must
- Self-starter comfortable operating with high autonomy in a fast-moving environment; willing to travel for client meetings and events
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in finance, economics, engineering, or a quantitative field; MBA or CFA a plus
NISM/relevant capital-markets certifications a plus
Fluency in English; additional Indian languages an advantage for regional HNI coverage.
The Opportunity
Own and scale a live, revenue-generating program from an established base — not a cold start
Direct visibility of your impact: participant count, flow allocated, and program P&L are all measurable
Work directly with trading and engineering leadership at one of India's leading crypto derivatives platforms
Competitive fixed compensation with a meaningful variable/commission component tied to program growth
Exposure to the intersection of exchange operations, market making, and institutional distribution — a rare vantage point in Indian markets
