Responsibilities

• Own and grow a defined book of business for Kpler’s arbitrage products within the APAC region — including both prospects and existing Kpler clients.

• Maintain competitive awareness by tracking market developments and rival offerings, sharing intelligence with internal stakeholders.
• Represent Kpler’s arbitrage solutions at regional industry events, conferences, and client meetings to strengthen market visibility.

Qualifications

• 3+ years’ experience in a commercial or sales role, selling data-driven or research-based products.
• Strong understanding of the commodities markets (Oil market exposure is imperative), including physical and financial pricing mechanisms, such as arbitrage tools.
• Proven experience managing a regional or defined book of business, demonstrating ownership of pipeline generation, client engagement, and renewals.
• Strong analytical and data interpretation abilities, capable of identifying market trends and linking them to client opportunities.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to deliver clear, compelling value propositions to senior stakeholders.
• Proficiency in CRM tools (preferably Salesforce) and disciplined management of pipeline and forecasting activities.
• Commercially driven and goal-oriented, maintaining focus on revenue growth while building long-term client partnerships.
• Collaborative and adaptable, able to work effectively with cross-functional teams across time zones and cultural contexts.
• Curious, proactive, and resilient, demonstrating initiative in exploring new opportunities and persistence in overcoming challenges.
