About RealQ

RealQ is an institutional credit trading and data platform designed for targeted matching and controlled execution. Built for institutional credit trading where size, complexity, and information sensitivity require a more deliberate approach, RealQ connects actionable liquidity through curated data, targeted matching, and controlled execution.

We combine:

• Neptune — the market’s most credible dealer‑sourced pre‑trade data set, with 34 tier‑one banks contributing real axes and inventory, and

• Liquidnet — a proven institutional execution venue with over 500 buy‑side firms connected globally.

The platform enables market participants to engage across multiple execution protocols, supporting more controlled and targeted interaction and aligning execution to trade size, market conditions and information sensitivity.

By integrating dealer intent with discreet, institutional execution protocols, our platform delivers protected transparency: allowing genuine counterparties to find each other efficiently without information leakage. We are purpose‑built for meaningful trades, not volume for volume’s sake — offering an alternative to signal driven, fragmented liquidity models prevalent across other electronic venues.

This individual will be responsible for driving the growth, adoption, and profitability of core trading protocols across the US institutional landscape. This remote role, based in Chicago, demands a highly hands-on leader responsible for the entire commercial lifecycle of our core protocols—from prospecting and relationship management to the project management of client onboarding and go-live.

• Platform Adoption & Expansion: Expand on platform adoption by pitching to new internal teams at existing clients and directly managing client meetings, platform reviews, usage reporting, and presentations on new functionality.

• End-to-End Onboarding Leadership: Lead all aspects of new client and data feed onboarding, project-managing connectivity initiatives from inception through pre-production testing to successful go-live, collaborating closely with support teams.

• Internal & External Advocacy: Act as a client advocate internally, collaborating directly with product and technology teams to align platform enhancements with client feedback and drive platform data growth by onboarding new Sell Side data streams.

• Demonstrated success of converting client engagement into measurable, attributable revenue growth (e.g., managing specific revenue targets).

• Exceptional ability to manage senior external relationships while concurrently leading detailed internal project management for connectivity and integration.

Desired
