Description

About Hex Trust

Hex Trust is a fully-licensed digital asset financial institution building the infrastructure institutions use to operate in crypto. Custody, staking, capital markets, investment solutions, payments, fiat ramping, RWAs, and tokenization — all on one regulated platform.

Founded in 2018, we're licensed across multiple jurisdictions (HK, SG, Dubai, SVG). As institutional capital moves into crypto and the RWA and payments narratives accelerate, we're one of the few players who can serve institutions as a fully-regulated, one-stop-shop partner. We serve 600+ institutional clients globally: funds, family offices, banks, foundations, token issuers, payment firms, OTC desks, and corporates.

We're well-capitalized, growing consistently, and built on a sustainable model. We operate 24/7 from hubs in Hong Kong, Singapore, Dubai, and Vietnam.

You'll work alongside a senior commercial team, own real institutional relationships, and get exposure to the most active parts of the market. We're scaling fast. If you want to sell into the institutional side of crypto at a firm that's actually licensed to do it, this is the place.

Position Summary

We offer an attractive, formula-based, uncapped bonus structure tied directly to originated revenue, paid quarterly.

We are looking for a VP / Director, Head of Partnerships professional with a strong network in the crypto institutional space. The ideal candidate has been part of a fast-growing crypto business, has consistently generated revenues, and has converted BD relationships into recurring flows and assets under custody.

This is a partnership and BD role with high autonomy and direct impact on pipeline and revenue from day one. 

The platform is proven, the licenses are real, and we have the right to win in many of the deals you'll work on. We expect the person in this seat to succeed.
