About the Company
Our client is one of the world’s fastest-growing and most respected financial technology providers, delivering a complete ecosystem of institutional-grade trading, liquidity, and brokerage infrastructure. Founded in 2014, the company has rapidly scaled into a global powerhouse with a team of over 300 professionals spanning more than 50 nationalities, operating across 10+ international offices, including Dubai, London, Hong Kong, Limassol, and Tallinn.
With a fully in-house built technology stack and a portfolio of 10+ market-leading products, the firm powers over 1,000 institutional clients — brokers, exchanges, and financial institutions — across the globe, handling more than $30 billion in monthly trading volume. From SaaS trading platforms and advanced payment solutions to deep multi-asset liquidity and prime-of-prime services, our client offers the complete infrastructure that modern financial businesses rely on 24/7.
This is a meritocratic, high-performance environment where transparency, innovation, and results are at the core of everything they do. Every team member’s contribution is visible, valued, and directly tied to the company’s continued expansion into new markets and asset classes. As they accelerate their growth across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond, they are now seeking a dynamic Senior Business Development Manager to take full commercial ownership of a dedicated territory.
The Opportunity
This is a rare “full-cycle” revenue role that combines the aggressive growth mindset of a Sales Hunter with the long-term strategic vision of an Account Manager. You will not be just a salesperson — you will be the CEO of your own portfolio, driving new business acquisition while actively managing and growing your client base to maximize lifetime value and recurring revenue.
Working in a high-reward environment, your performance will directly dictate your earning potential through a multi-layered compensation model that rewards new client wins, portfolio growth, transaction volume, and operational efficiency. If you are a deal-maker who thrives on uncapped earning potential and the freedom to build a massive book of business, this is your seat.
Key Responsibilities
1. New Business Acquisition (The “Hunter” Focus)
- Identify and close high-value B2B clients in your territory, with “New Logos” being the most heavily weighted metric in your success scorecard.
- Own the complete deal cycle: from initial outreach, discovery, and product demonstrations to contract negotiation and closure.
- Strategically target institutional prospects — brokers, funds, and financial firms — where the company’s liquidity solutions, SaaS platforms, and trading infrastructure solve critical business problems.
2. Portfolio Management & Expansion (The “Farmer” Focus)
- Retain full commercial ownership of your accounts post-sale. Ensure clients are active, funded, and fully utilising the platform.
- Drive recurring revenue growth by monitoring usage trends and proactively engaging clients to increase transaction volumes, cross-sell additional products, and expand into new markets.
- Identify and execute upsell opportunities across the ecosystem: upgraded software licences, new payment gateways, enhanced liquidity streams, and prime brokerage services.
3. Strategic Account Leadership
- Partner closely with Technical Account Managers (TAMs) who handle onboarding and day-to-day support. You remain the senior commercial lead for renewals, contract expansions, and C-level relationship management.
- Leverage the company’s global time-zone coverage — particularly the Dubai team — to deliver a seamless 24/7 service experience to clients.
Experience & Skills Required
- 5–7 years of complex B2B sales experience within the liquidity, prime brokerage, prime-of-prime, broker technology, trading infrastructure, or digital asset liquidity sectors.
- Proven quota-crushing track record: you can clearly articulate your numbers (e.g., “I grew my territory revenue by X%”, “I closed Y new institutional mandates last year”).
- Demonstrated success in negotiating and closing LP agreements, prime brokerage mandates, or institutional liquidity contracts.
- Strong technical fluency: comfortable discussing MT4/MT5 bridge technology, FIX API connectivity, and basic derivatives structures (spreads, rollovers, swaps).
- Deep knowledge of the CFD and FX trading ecosystem, with an understanding of how brokers, liquidity providers, and technology vendors interact.
- The “Hybrid” Skill Set: equally confident cold-calling and prospecting (hunting) as you are building strategic account maps, fostering long-term partnerships, and driving retention (farming).
- Sharp commercial acumen: you know how to read a contract, negotiate pricing and rebate structures, and manage a deal to closure — with a clear understanding of gross revenue vs. net profit.
- Data-driven mindset: comfortable being measured by transparent KPIs and capable of using pipeline data to forecast performance accurately.
- Exceptional communication skills: you can explain complex technical and financial concepts to C-level executives with clarity and credibility.
- Team spirit and collaboration are essential — clients benefit from the leverage of our time-difference coverage with the Dubai team, and you’ll work cross-functionally to deliver results.
Language requirements by location:
- Hong Kong: English and Cantonese (Mandarin or Japanese a strong plus).
- Dubai/Istanbul: Full professional fluency in English is mandatory; additional regional languages are highly valued.
