• Relationship Management: Build and maintain a robust pipeline of institutional prospects, serving as the primary point of contact and trusted advisor for our elite client base.
• Market Representation: Represent BASIS at top-tier global financial and digital asset summits (e.g., Paris Blockchain Week, Token2049, TradFi forums) to expand our network and influence.

What You Bring (Requirements):

• 7+ years of senior Business Development or Institutional Sales experience within Traditional Finance (Prime Brokerage, Asset Management) or Institutional Digital Assets.
• A deep, verifiable rolodex of active relationships with family offices, hedge funds, and institutional investors.
• Comprehensive understanding of digital asset market structure, algorithmic trading, and yield generation strategies.
• Ability to articulate highly technical infrastructure concepts to sophisticated financial executives.
• Outstanding negotiation, presentation, and strategic thinking skills, with a relentless drive to close deals.
