About the Opportunity

We are seeking a dynamic and results-driven VIP Relationship Manager to join our rapidly growing Emerging Markets team. In this role, you will be the primary point of contact for our high-net-worth individual (HNWI) and institutional clients across three key markets: Africa, Switzerland, and Pakistan. You will be responsible for onboarding, nurturing, and retaining VIP clients while driving volume growth and deepening product adoption across our exchange ecosystem. This role requires a unique ability to navigate diverse regulatory environments and cultural dynamics across Sub-Saharan and North African markets, the Swiss financial hub, and Pakistan's fast-growing digital asset landscape.

    • Act as the internal advocate for VIP clients, coordinating with product, compliance, and operations teams to resolve issues promptly

    Business Development & Growth

    • Proactively identify and onboard new VIP clients through referrals, industry events, and regional outreach campaigns
    • Drive trading volume growth, fee revenue, and product cross-sell (spot, derivatives, earn, OTC, and Web3 products)
    • Develop and execute territory-specific strategies to grow presence across Africa (Sub-Saharan and North Africa), Switzerland, and Pakistan
    • Represent the exchange at key conferences, summits, and community events in the assigned region

    Market Intelligence & Feedback

    • Stay current on competitive landscape, regulatory developments, and macro trends affecting crypto adoption in Africa, Switzerland, and Pakistan
    • Gather and relay client feedback to internal product and strategy teams to influence roadmap decisions
    • Identify emerging trends in trading behavior and asset preferences among VIP client segments

What We Look For In You

  • Experience & Background

    • 5+ years of experience in relationship management, private banking, institutional sales, or brokerage — preferably within crypto, fintech, or financial services
    • Proven track record managing high-value client portfolios with demonstrable revenue impact
    • Prior exposure to African markets, Swiss financial services, or Pakistan's fintech/crypto ecosystem is strongly preferred
    • Experience working in or with a crypto exchange, trading firm, or Web3 company is a significant advantage

    Skills & Competencies

    • Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to build rapport across cultures
    • Strong commercial acumen with ability to identify revenue opportunities and close deals
    • Deep understanding of crypto products: spot trading, perpetual futures, options, and staking
    • Proficiency with CRM tools (Salesforce, HubSpot, or equivalent) and data-driven reporting
    • Self-starter mentality with ability to operate autonomously in a fast-paced environment

    Languages

    • Fluency in English is required
    • Proficiency in one or more regional languages is highly preferred: French, Swahili, Arabic, Hausa, Afrikaans (Africa), German or French (Switzerland), Urdu or Punjabi (Pakistan)
