What You'll Do

  • Lead sales initiatives for a next-generation market data platform across APAC markets
  • Engage with trading firms, asset managers, and technology-driven finance startups to understand their data needs
  • Advocate for a flexible, usage-based pricing model that replaces outdated licensing structures
  • Guide clients through onboarding, ensuring smooth integration and early success
  • Work closely with a distributed team to refine outreach and scale customer acquisition

What We're Looking For

  • Familiarity with capital markets, data feeds, and infrastructure used by quantitative teams
  • A history of achieving or surpassing sales goals in competitive environments
  • Self-direction and comfort working remotely across time zones
  • Fluency in English, with strong communication skills

Preferred Background

  • Understanding of APIs and cloud-based data delivery systems
  • Existing relationships or experience engaging clients in Asia-Pacific markets
  • Experience supporting technical onboarding for data products

Technology Environment

APIs, cloud infrastructure, real-time market data systems, and usage-based billing platforms.

Why This Role Matters

You'll play a key role in expanding access to critical financial data, helping lower the barrier for innovators across the region. As part of a remote-first team built by former data users, you’ll support a mission-driven shift in how data is priced and delivered—backed by modern technology and user-focused design.
