ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a highly driven Hong Kong Lead to own and operate our presence in one of the most important global financial hubs. This role will oversee all market-building activities in Hong Kong, with a focus on the stablecoin and real-world asset (RWA) sectors. You will be responsible for managing the full client pipeline, from prospecting to deal closure, while maintaining strategic relationships with institutions, financial service companies, and regulators.
