Business Development Manager — Asia

About Trireme

Trireme is a digital-asset market making, trading, treasury and incubation business working with token projects, ecosystems, exchanges and institutional counterparties.

‍

We operate across market making, liquidity strategy, execution, treasury management and project incubation, with a focus on building stronger and more sustainable markets for digital assets.

‍

We are looking for a commercially strong Business Development Manager to expand Trireme’s presence across Asia.

The Role

You will be responsible for building and converting Trireme’s commercial pipeline across key Asian crypto markets.

‍

This is not a pure lead-generation role. You will be expected to identify opportunities, build relationships, qualify prospects, run commercial conversations and move opportunities through to signed agreements.

‍

You should already understand the crypto ecosystem and ideally have relationships across token projects, exchanges, venture funds, launch platforms, ecosystems and other industry participants.

Responsibilities

  • Build and manage a qualified pipeline across Asia.
  • Source token projects requiring market making, liquidity, treasury, execution or advisory services.
  • Develop relationships with exchanges, venture firms, ecosystems, accelerators, launch platforms and referral partners.
  • Conduct outbound prospecting and targeted relationship development.
  • Run discovery calls and understand project requirements, timelines and commercial fit.
  • Present Trireme’s services and positioning clearly and credibly.
  • Coordinate proposals, commercial negotiations and closing.
  • Maintain disciplined CRM records and pipeline reporting.
  • Attend relevant conferences, industry meetings and ecosystem events.
  • Build scalable referral and distribution channels.
  • Gather market intelligence and competitor feedback.
  • Work closely with trading and management teams during client qualification and onboarding.

Geographic Focus

Priority markets may include:

China / Hong Kong, Singapore, Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and other major Asian digital-asset hubs.

What We Are Looking For

  • 3+ years of business development, sales, partnerships or investment experience.
  • Strong existing network within digital assets.
  • Demonstrable history of generating and closing commercial opportunities.
  • Understanding of token launches, exchanges, liquidity and digital-asset market structure.
  • Comfortable selling technical and financial products.
  • Strong written and spoken English.
  • Relevant Asian language capability is highly desirable.
  • Comfortable operating independently across time zones.
  • Strong follow-up discipline and CRM hygiene.
  • Commercially aggressive without damaging long-term relationships.

Strong Candidates WIll Have

  • Existing relationships with token founders and exchanges.
  • Experience working at a market maker, exchange, VC, launchpad or token project.
  • Evidence of personally sourced revenue.
  • Strong regional cultural awareness.
  • Ability to build partner channels rather than rely only on cold outbound.

Performance Measures

Success will primarily be measured on:

  • Qualified opportunities created.
  • Meetings with relevant decision-makers.
  • Proposals issued.
  • Signed clients.
  • New contracted and collected revenue.
  • Referral partners activated.
  • Pipeline coverage.
  • Client quality and retention.
  • Accuracy and discipline of CRM reporting.

Compensation

Competitive base or contractor fee plus uncapped performance-based commission.

‍

The structure is designed to strongly reward individuals who build profitable, recurring client books.
