About this role
About the Role
StraitsX is a leading digital assets platform in Southeast Asia and we are the pioneer of the regional stablecoin space, with our flagship non-USD stablecoin (XSGD) commanding over 70% of the non-USD stablecoin market share in Southeast Asia. Backed by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) regulatory credibility and licensed as a Major Payment Institution (MPI), StraitsX stands out in the global digital asset space as a highly secure, fully compliant, and well-capitalized digital financial infrastructure provider.
As part of our H2 2026 global expansion strategy, we are building a world-class commercial hub in Dubai to serve the EMEA market. In a maturing digital asset hub where regulatory tightening is actively supervising operations, StraitsX offers a highly credible, regulated, and stable landing spot for both institutional clients and exceptional commercial talent.
What You Will Do
- Prospect, qualify, and close high-value institutional merchants, crypto exchanges, OTC desks, card issuers, and traditional financial institutions across the GCC region.
- Pitch and secure commercial partnerships for StraitsX's full infrastructure suite, including Dedicated Virtual Accounts (DVA) for exchanges, stablecoin-backed card issuing infrastructure, and cross-border settlement rails (XSGD/XUSD).
- Sell high-volume fiat-to-stablecoin conversion rails to institutional buyers, addressing complex treasury, settlement, and liquidity needs.
- Manage long-cycle enterprise sales from initial outreach to contract execution, collaborating closely with client-side treasury, product, and compliance stakeholders.
- Partner with StraitsX's Legal, Compliance, and leadership teams to align sales motions with Dubai's regulatory environments, ensuring compliance with local standards (VARA Category 1 FRVA rules and/or DIFC/DFSA requirements).
- Formulate the regional Go-To-Market strategy, validating the product-market fit and establishing early client success stories that will define the commercial playbook for future expansion hires.
