Job Title: Senior Manager, RWA OTC Desk Operations
Location: Hong Kong
Employment Type: Full-time
About Us
We are building the OTC trading infrastructure for tokenized RWA — an institutional-grade RFQ matching and DVP settlement platform.
We are looking for a versatile professional who can work alongside the business lead to drive market expansion before product launch, and then manage platform operations post-launch. You will be part of the founding team, taking this business from 0 to 1.
What You Will Do
Phase 1: Pre-launch (upon onboarding – Q3) — 70% BD
- Partner with the business lead to engage major market makers (e.g., Wintermute, GSR, Amber Group) – drive market-making negotiations and API technical integration
- Reach out to external RWA issuers (e.g., Ondo Finance, Securitize, Circle) – push forward asset registration and listing partnerships
- Identify and approach potential buy-side institutional clients (exchange treasuries, DeFi protocols, hedge funds) – build initial client pipeline
- Gather client feedback through BD activities to inform product and operational priorities
- Prepare and follow up on commercial proposals, term negotiations, and MOU signing
- Handle daily BD follow-ups and maintain client relationships
Phase 1 (parallel): Product design involvement (30%)
- Review product design from a trading operations perspective: Is the trade flow logical? Any pitfalls in settlement logic? Are reporting and reconciliation features sufficient?
- Attend product review meetings and propose improvements based on hands-on experience
- Help define API requirements for market makers
Phase 2: Post-launch (from Q4 onward) — BD + Operations (dual-track)
BD (30%):
- Continuously onboard new market makers, issuers, and buy-side clients
- Maintain existing partnerships and drive trading volume growth
- Attend industry conferences (Token2049, Web3 Festival, etc.)
Operations (70%):
- Day-to-day market maker management: monitor quote quality (spread, response time), monthly reconciliation, commission settlement
- Client onboarding: whitelist address applications, omnibus address registration, access testing
- Trade monitoring: DVP settlement status checks, anomaly detection
- Compliance support: compile monthly trading data and submit reports to the compliance team
What We Are Looking For
Required:
- 3–5 years of experience in crypto OTC, digital asset trading platform, or broker-dealer trading operations
- Solid understanding of the full OTC trade lifecycle (inquiry → quote → execution → settlement → reconciliation)
- Experience in business development or client management, with the ability to independently communicate and drive partnerships
- Fluent in English (both written and spoken) – daily working language includes English and Chinese
- Genuine interest and knowledge of the Web3 / crypto industry
- Self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial team environment
Preferred:
- Prior experience at a crypto OTC desk (e.g., Amber, Matrixport, Galaxy, Genesis, Cumberland)
- Understanding of RFQ trading models and market maker business logic
- Experience with fixed income / RWA / tokenized assets
- Familiarity with SFC licensed entity compliance requirements
- Hands-on experience with on-chain tools (wallets, blockchain explorers, DeFi protocols, etc.)
