You will be responsible for driving the "supply side" of our network (onboarding market makers) and the "demand side" (pitching our premium data solutions to consumers).

Remote Work: Our team is spread across the globe, from the US and South America to Europe and Asia, with an optional office in Porto, Portugal, and Singapore. Remote work is the norm here.

We Expect You to Bring

• Deep Institutional DNA: A proven track record in Business Development or Relationship Management within a major Exchange, Market Maker, or Tier-1 Crypto firm.
