Build the U.S. GTM engine. Open the institutional market. Build the team.
The Opportunity
Our client is a fast-growing digital asset infrastructure business building the technology that allows exchanges, brokers, fintechs and financial institutions to offer trading, payments and digital asset products without taking on the complexity of operating across multiple blockchains.
As the business expands in the U.S., we're looking for a senior commercial leader to build the go-to-market function from the ground up.
This is a genuine player-coach leadership role. You'll own the U.S. revenue strategy, but you'll also be expected to personally open doors, build institutional relationships and close meaningful business.
As traction builds, you'll recruit and lead the sales organisation around you.
The Role
You'll take ownership of the U.S. commercial strategy, including:
We're looking for a proven commercial operator, not someone who simply manages an existing sales organisation.

The strongest candidate will have a story that sounds something like:

This isn't a role for someone looking to inherit a large team and established pipeline.
It's an opportunity to build something significant in the U.S. digital asset market.
If you're a senior crypto or financial markets sales leader who wants genuine ownership, meaningful equity and the opportunity to shape the commercial future of a high-growth business, we'd like to hear from you.
