About Hamsa

Hamsa is the leading liquidity network bridging real world assets to digital investors leveraging

rich data. We’ve tokenized over $3B of private commercial credit and are growing fast.

Founded by a Webby-winning serial entrepreneur who sold his last company for $550M and the

technology leader who built Alipay’s global payment system, Hamsa is disrupting the $11T

alternative asset market private commercial credit market with a radically faster, more efficient, and more democratic tokenization and trading platform for a wide range of high-yield, asset-backed credit and debt products offered to institutional and private wealth investors. Hamsa is backed by top-tier investors, has partnerships with major financial institutions, and has global operations (US, LATAM, and APAC).

Job Description:

We are looking for an institutional business development leader of capital markets. This person must hold a current Series 7 and either hold or be willing to take and pass the Series 79 and 24. The position would ideally be based in New York to provide strategic leadership, business management and coordination in support of Hamsa’s institutional markets activities. The candidate must have at least 6 years recent experience in large, well recognized, financial institutions, preferably with a mix of investment banking and structured products experience. 

The candidate would be responsible for building and maintaining relationships with medium and large financial institutions interested in the full range of possibilities of asset tokenization. This would include major banks, asset managers, private equity funds, private credit funds and hedge funds. The institutional business development lead must be a nimble and flexible leader who can evolve with the changing needs of the business by creating sustainable relationships, protocols and processes to support new initiatives as well as optimizing the current tokenization platform. This role will have significant contact and visibility with senior executives of the

overall business and its wider relationships.

We are seeking a driven individual, entrepreneurial in spirit and highly motivated; someone

excited to build our US business, and who recognizes the life-changing rewards that success in

this endeavor will offer. They will be located in the US.

Job Responsibilities:

● Build and maintain relationships with major banks, asset managers, private equity

funds, private credit funds, insurance companies and hedge funds.

private debt, receivables and other real world assets), and meet quarterly targets.

● Collaborate both within the overall business, as well as with other areas such as Risk,

Legal, IT, Marketing and Finance.

● Where necessary, work with the Company’s associated broker dealer business.

Soft skills:

● High integrity and committed individual, who will support the success of the team and

business

● Highly motivated, aggressive and results-oriented business leader that spots

opportunities

● Strategic thinker, able to construct, manage and execute complex multi-member

partnerships, and create consortiums.

● Problem solving mindset. Ours is not a straight sale, it is nuanced business development.

This person needs to be a great listener and have the capabilities to shape a solution to

meet the needs of each customer.

● Resilient and used to thinking around issues and turning ‘no‘ into ‘yes’

● Natural charismatic leader who can build deep relationships with C-suite and VP-level

executives.

● Strong analytical skills with superior presentation abilities, organizational skills, and

attention to detail
