Responsibilities include prospecting based on market triggers, conducting discovery, engaging stakeholders across security and operations, building account dossiers and business cases, supporting strategic enterprise deals, and managing opportunities through signature. Requires sales experience, blockchain knowledge, strong executive communication, analytical skills, and autonomous execution in a remote environment.
Description
Hypernative is the leading security company in the Web3 space, focused on providing proactive threat detection and mitigation for decentralized finance (DeFi) projects, chains, asset managers, and cryptocurrency exchanges.
We are seeking a Senior Account Executive to expand our presence in the APAC region. If you are passionate about blockchain, possess deep regional knowledge, and excel in building strategic client relationships, we want to hear from you.
As the Senior Account Executive, APAC, you will lead Hypernative’s efforts to acquire and manage clients in the region, focusing on both DeFi and CeFi ecosystems. This is a high-impact role that requires a combination of strategic thinking, business acumen, and deep understanding of blockchain technologies and financial systems.
What you will do
- LinkedIn, ecosystem and community channels, events, and partners) on a named target account list for your verticals, together with your senior Account Executive.
- Prospect on real triggers rather than cadence alone: funding rounds, security incidents, protocol and governance events, new chain and product launches.
- Multi-thread into accounts across security, engineering, risk, compliance, treasury, and operations, and run first calls to a real discovery standard. The deliverable is a qualified opportunity, not a calendar slot.
- Work the biggest deals in your verticals as an analyst of record, building account dossiers, business cases, ROI framing, mutual action plans, and competitive comparisons.
- Join strategic calls alongside your senior AE and Sales Engineer, and learn how institutional and enterprise deals are actually won.
- Own and close a book of smaller, faster deals end to end, from first contact to signature. When a deal outgrows your book, it moves to your senior AE, and you keep credit for it.
- 1-3 years in a quota-carrying or pipeline-generating sales role, ideally in B2B SaaS, security, fintech, crypto, or Web3.
- Demonstrated self-sourced pipeline. Name specific opportunities you originated and explain how you got in.
- Real curiosity about crypto and blockchain. You can hold a credible conversation about protocols, bridges, custody, DeFi mechanics, and security risk, or you have a clear track record of teaching yourself a technical domain fast.
- Written communication strong enough that a cold email to an executive actually lands.
- Analytical capability. Comfortable in a CRM and in spreadsheets, and able to build a business case that stands up to scrutiny.
- Entrepreneurial Spirit: A proactive, self-starter mindset with the ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced, remote environment.

The city has emerged as a tech powerhouse, recently ranked among the best in the U.K. for tech careers — especially for software developers.
