About The Opportunity
-
We are looking for a Head of Sales & Partnerships to lead the next phase of OKX's growth in Australia. This is a leadership role: you will build and lead our sales and partnerships function to win customers, grow trading volume and deliver revenue in the Australian market.
-
You will have direct impact and responsibility for business metrics including revenue, AUM and growth in key customer segments. That means generating a robust pipeline, closing deals, signing partnerships, and leading a team that turns opportunities into trading activity. As part of a global exchange, you will also connect our global capabilities with the needs of the Australian market, working closely with local and global Product, Marketing, Growth, Operations, Legal & Compliance to make sure commercial priorities turn into strong execution.
-
This is a builder role. We are looking for a hands-on seller and sales leader, comfortable building the sales playbook, opening doors, closing deals and building the team required to scale.
What You’ll Be Doing
-
Own the Australian Sales Plan & Revenue Targets
- Responsibility for Australian revenue and trading volume targets, with clear accountability for pipeline, forecast and delivery.
- Identify and prioritise the highest-value customer segments and accounts.
- Set clear KPIs and operating rhythms (pipeline reviews, forecasting, win/loss analysis), and adjust focus based on results.

Build and Lead the Sales Team
-
Develop and execute strategies to accelerate customer acquisition, activation, engagement, retention and trading activity.
-
Identify opportunities to strengthen OKX's positioning and competitive differences in Australia.
-
Build scalable commercial models and growth channels rather than relying solely on short-term campaigns or individual relationships.

Work closely with Marketing, Product and Growth teams to improve customer journeys, propositions and conversion across the funnel.
-
-
Lead Go-to-Market Strategy & Execution
- Coach and lead a high-performing sales team in Australia, with clear targets and incentives.
- Build a repeatable sales process: prospecting, qualification, closing and account management.
- Drive customer acquisition, activation and retention through direct sales and account management.
- Feed market and competitor insight back to Product and Marketing.
- Build a scalable pipeline, not one that depends on a few individual relationships.
- Win and Grow Key Accounts
- Personally support with closing high-value customers, including institutional and VIP/high-net-worth clients.
- Work with Operations, Product and Marketing to tailor propositions for each segment - including localisations of products and segment specific campaigns.
-
Develop Strategic Partnerships & Distribution
- Originate, negotiate and close strategic partnerships that materially accelerate OKX's growth in Australia.
- Explore new distribution channels (fintech, payments, brokerage, wealth, exchanges and other platforms) beyond traditional crypto acquisition.
- Own partner relationships after signing and track the revenue from each.
-
Navigate a Global and Regulated Environment
-
Partner closely with Compliance, Legal and Risk teams to ensure commercial strategies and market initiatives are developed within applicable regulatory requirements.
-
What We Look For In You
- 8+ years in sales, business development or partnerships, including experience leading a sales team.
- Proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue or sales targets, and of building or scaling a sales function, ideally within crypto, fintech, trading, brokerage, financial services or another competitive, regulated business.
- Demonstrated ability to deliver measurable results: revenue, trading volume, new customers won and AUM.
- Strong understanding of the Australian market, including local customer behaviour, competitors and growth opportunities.
- Hands-on seller who can still lead from the front.
- Proven experience closing complex, high-value deals with multiple stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to originate and negotiate strategic partnerships and commercial arrangements.
- Comfortable using CRM and pipeline data to forecast and manage performance.
- Excellent communication, negotiation and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to influence senior stakeholders in a global matrix organisation.
- Comfortable in an entrepreneurial, fast-moving environment where leaders are expected to build rather than simply manage.
- Genuine interest in blockchain technology, digital assets and the evolution of financial markets.
