About Zodia Markets
Zodia Markets is a regulated institutional digital-asset firm backed by Standard Chartered. Our business is stablecoin on- and off-ramping and wholesale cross-border money transfer for institutional clients such as payment firms, exchanges, brokers, liquidity providers and banks. We handle more than USD 3bn of stablecoin volume a month and work from London, Abu Dhabi and Asia.
Role purpose
Fill the funnel with qualified institutional prospects for our stablecoin on/off-ramp and wholesale payment services in the assigned region. The role hunts. It builds and works a target list, runs first discovery and qualification, and hands prospects that will trade to an Account Manager at Gate 1. It does not onboard or manage live clients.
Benefits
Targeting
  • Build and maintain a prioritised target list for the region against the ideal client profile; propose it each quarter for approval
  • Research target organisations and map decision-makers across treasury, payments, operations and compliance
  • Plan conference and event attendance around the target list, with meetings booked in advance
Outreach and qualification
  • Run outbound campaigns and first meetings; establish the use case, corridors, currencies, products and expected volume
  • Confirm the Gate 1 tests before handover: a real stablecoin use case, the trading entity named, banking in place for the currencies the client will use, volume at or above the tier minimum, and a named decision-maker
  • Carry out an initial permissibility check on the entities and jurisdictions involved using internal guidance; escalate unclear cases (formal screening is done by Compliance)
  • Prepare the Gate 1 pack, present it to the Account Manager and arrange the first strategic meeting jointly with them
  • Return non-qualified prospects to nurture with a clear reason and a next date
Market intelligence and discipline
  • Feed competitor, pricing and demand signals back to the CCO and Product
  • Record every prospect, contact, meeting and next step in HubSpot within 24 hours, in line with the stage definitions
  • Give indicative terms only. Commercial commitments are made by the Account Manager within the pricing policy
Not part of this role
  • Onboarding clients or managing live accounts (Account Managers)
  • Daily client service and execution (Client Desk)
How success is measured
  • Opportunities accepted at Gate 1, and acceptance rate
  • Share of accepted opportunities that go live and trade
  • First-12-month revenue from introduced clients
  • Coverage of the approved target list
  • HubSpot data quality
Experience and knowledge
  • 8+ years of institutional business development in payments, FX, transaction banking, digital-asset infrastructure or a comparable B2B financial service
  • An established network in the region among payment institutions, EMIs, exchanges, brokers, liquidity providers or banks; for the current opening, across Singapore, Hong Kong and South-East Asia
  • Demonstrated account-based prospecting and qualification, with evidence of pipeline built and converted
  • Working understanding of stablecoins and cross-border payment flows, and of what makes an institutional prospect permissible and onboardable
  • Fluency in English; Mandarin, Cantonese or another regional language is an advantage for the Asia-Pacific opening
Personal attributes
  • A self-starting hunter who is energised by new relationships
  • Disciplined: qualifies early and says no to prospects that will not trade
  • Credible with senior stakeholders; clear and concise
  • Collaborative at handover and wants the client to succeed after it
Regulatory and conduct
The role is subject to the firm’s fitness and propriety assessment and to any regulatory approval or certification that applies to it in the relevant entity. The holder is expected to meet the applicable conduct rules and to treat compliance, client-data confidentiality and market conduct as part of the job, not as someone else’s.

What you need to know about the Belfast Tech Scene

If asked to name the birthplace of the RMS Titanic, you might not say Belfast. Similarly, if asked to name Europe's leading destination for foreign direct investment in new software development, Belfast might not come to mind. Yet, both are true. The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers. It also leads the U.K. with the highest percentage of software development jobs advertised.
