About The Opportunity

We are looking for a dynamic and results-driven Institutional Business Development Director to join our APAC team.

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. You’ll act as a key bridge between clients and internal teams, providing actionable insights to sharpen our product offerings and accelerate growth.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Aggressively identify and pursue institutional sales opportunities across APAC, with a focus on creating and converting pipelines through persistent outreach, relationship building, and strategic engagement.
• Lead full-cycle sales motions—from cold approach to negotiation to closing, with a focus on high-revenue, high-impact clients.
• 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.
  
  
  

What We Look For In You

• 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.
• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills—you inspire trust, tailor your pitch to C-level stakeholders, and handle objections with credibility and confidence.
• Previous crypto or fintech sales experience is highly desirable, especially at another exchange or platform.
