Founding BD, Asia
Meow · New York, NY · 3 days ago
On-siteBusiness Development$125k/yrFull-time
About the role
This is our first hire on the ground in Asia. You'll spend your first two months in NYC learning the product, the pitch, and how we win. Then you're boots on the ground in Singapore or Hong Kong (we'll figure out the base together) building pipeline from scratch in the most important crypto region on earth.
Responsibilities
- Build pipeline from zero across Singapore, Hong Kong, and the wider APAC crypto scene
- Work the conference and event circuit. Show up, follow up, and turn handshakes into meetings
- Ask for intros the smart way. You're not just blasting cold DMs, you're getting warm paths through people who trust you
- Run discovery and pitch Meow to skeptical, sharp crypto buyers who care about social proof and trust, not feature lists
- Feed everything you learn back to the team in NYC so we sharpen the pitch as we go
Requirements
- 2 to 5 years in sales or BD, with quota you actually carried and hit
- You get finance and crypto. You can explain stablecoins, yield, and why FDIC insurance matters without reading off a sheet
- Hungry. You'd rather figure it out than wait to be told
- Well connected, or able to build a network fast and thoughtfully. You know how to earn an intro and not burn the relationship
- Comfortable being the only Meow person in the room and owning it
Qualifications
- An AE or BD rep who's been crushing it and wants to build something instead of running someone else's territory
- Someone already in the Asia crypto scene who knows the founders, funds, and group chats
- A former founder or early employee who's sold, hustled, and wants to do 0 to 1 again
- A person with a finance background who fell into crypto and never looked back
Skills
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills
- Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects simultaneously
- Experience in financial services and understanding of crypto concepts
- Knowledge of banking products and services, particularly those related to cryptocurrency
Benefits
- Competitive compensation range: $125K
Pay
- $125K
Schedule
- Remote initially, with travel to Singapore and Hong Kong as needed
