This role is ideal for a true sales hunter—someone with a relentless drive to uncover opportunities, open doors, and win high-value institutional relationships in the APAC market.
You’ll be responsible for generating and closing complex, high-impact sales opportunities, developing tailored strategies to build a strong client base, identifying new revenue sources, and ensuring all prospects align with OKX’s risk and compliance standards.

- Build and refine client profiles and leverage previous success cases to replicate and scale winning strategies across new segments.
- Evaluate and activate new revenue opportunities, both through existing relationships and white space targeting.
- Ensure new clients meet OKX’s compliance standards and do not pose reputational, regulatory, or financial risk.
- Provide structured, actionable feedback to product and executive teams to help shape offerings that win institutional market share.
- A true hunter mindset. You are naturally proactive, resourceful, and energized by the challenge of breaking into new accounts and converting cold leads into trusted clients.
- Demonstrated executional excellence in closing sales: you’ve led full-cycle deals and have a track record of turning prospects into long-term, high-value partnerships.
- Deep knowledge of the institutional crypto landscape and OKX’s core products (Block Trading, Derivatives such as Perps/Futures/Options/Margin, Cash OTC).
- Strong understanding of the local market landscape and how to navigate complex decision-making environments to influence institutional buyers.
