The posting

Strategic Account Director, APAC

Remote first with offices available in Singapore · Full-time · Sales · Reports to the Head of APAC

About DFNS

Finance is moving onchain. Stablecoins, tokenized deposits, securities and funds are changing how money and assets are issued, held and transferred. The destination is a financial system where any asset can be issued, moved and governed onchain with the controls regulated institutions require. That shift needs a new foundation. Just as core banking systems manage accounts and ledgers today, financial institutions need a platform to manage digital assets. DFNS is that platform. Today, we secure hundreds of billions of dollars in assets every month for more than 500 clients worldwide.

Why this role

APAC is where some of the clearest regulatory frameworks for digital assets have been written, in Singapore, Hong Kong and Japan. Institutions there are moving from pilots to production. We have clients live across the region and a growing team in Singapore. You will be the senior commercial counterpart for those clients. In year one you will own net revenue retention for the regional portfolio, lead every renewal and expansion and build the account playbook the next hire runs.

What you’ll do

  • Own a portfolio of institutional accounts across Asia Pacific as their senior commercial counterpart, from onboarding to renewal.
  • Grow net revenue retention by finding and closing expansion into new products, volumes, entities and markets.
  • Lead renewals and commercial negotiations so contracts stay aligned with how clients actually use the platform.
  • Drive onboarding and adoption with Delivery and Solutions so clients reach production and scale on schedule.
  • Run executive business reviews that tie DFNS usage to each client’s business goals.
  • Carry the voice of APAC clients into Product, Compliance and leadership.
  • Turn satisfied clients into references and case studies, and represent DFNS at regional events.

What you bring

Must-haves

  • Experience managing and growing enterprise accounts in financial services or fintech in Asia Pacific, with a record of renewals and expansion.
  • Professional fluency in English.
  • Technical fluency to discuss APIs, integrations, deployment models and controls with a client’s engineers and compliance teams.
  • Commercial negotiation experience across renewals, pricing and contracts.
  • Comfort working with licensed institutions under regulators such as MAS, HKMA or the JFSA, and with their compliance stakeholders.
  • Based in Singapore or Hong Kong, able to travel across the region and comfortable being the senior DFNS presence there, with afternoons overlapping Europe.

Nice-to-haves

  • Mandarin, Cantonese and/or Japanese.
  • Experience in digital assets, stablecoins, custody or payments infrastructure.
  • Time at a core banking, payments or capital markets technology vendor.
  • A network at APAC banks, payment companies or digital asset platforms.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
