Business Development Executive, Financial Institutions (EMEA)
You will expand TRM's strategic access across the EMEA financial institution ecosystem. This is a senior individual contributor role, designed for someone who already has deep credibility and trusted relationships across banks and financial institutions. You are not being hired to build a network from scratch — you are being hired to activate a network you have already earned. Your mandate is to open senior-level conversations, multi-thread strategic accounts, create qualified enterprise opportunities, and help TRM become part of the most important digital asset, financial crime, and compliance conversations happening inside major financial institutions.
Responsibilities
- Open senior-level access at priority EMEA financial institutions by activating a network you have already built
- Build multi-threaded relationships across stakeholders who shape digital asset strategy, financial crime programs, compliance priorities, investigations, risk, and innovation
- Help TRM earn a seat in the most important conversations happening inside strategic financial institutions
- Identify and pursue high-value enterprise and partnership opportunities with banks and other financial institutions
- Represent TRM externally at conferences, executive forums, practitioner communities, and industry events
- Partner closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Policy to turn strategic access into qualified customer opportunities, market insight, and long-term competitive advantage
- Turn market, technology, and regulatory shifts into an early-warning system for TRM
- Feed customer insights, buying dynamics, objections, and market intelligence back into TRM's product and GTM teams
Requirements
- Deep, credible network across EMEA financial institutions, ideally from having been head of digital assets at a bank, or from operating at a crypto infrastructure firm
- Comfortable being customer-facing and public-facing: conferences, panels, thought leadership
- Track record of turning relationships into real pipeline, not just introductions
- Already uses AI day-to-day for research, prospecting, and pipeline management, with a concrete workflow to point to
- Based remotely within Europe
- Willing to travel 30-40% for conferences and in-person account work
- Direct experience with financial institutions or crypto-native infrastructure companies serving them in EMEA
