• Develop strategic partnerships – sign and manage agreements with prime-broker teams, OMS/EMS providers and other intermediaries so their users route Indian flow through our client.

• Own the commercial cycle end-to-end – coordinate product, legal, operations and technology teams to deliver smooth onboarding and ongoing support.

• Monitor market & regulatory changes (e.g., SEBI, GIFT City, MAS) and feed insights back to improve the offering.

Requirements:

• Proven track record (≈ 5–10 yrs) in institutional sales, prime-brokerage BD, or trading-technology enterprise sales focused on hedge-fund or quant-trading clients.

• Existing network of decision-makers (PMs, CTOs, COOs) at Asia-Pacific or global hedge funds / prop shops.

• Ability to discuss latency, FIX connectivity, DMA and settlement in clear, client-friendly language.

• Experience negotiating and closing multi-party commercial agreements.

• Strong stakeholder-management and presentation skills.

• (Nice to have) Familiarity with India market structure or additional Asian languages for client-liaison purposes.
