The team

Reporting to the General Manager of xStocks, this role sits at the center of our global partner ecosystem and growth strategy. xStocks is building at the intersection of traditional equities and tokenized assets, working with a diverse set of partners across exchanges, fintechs, institutions, and DeFi protocols.

As an Account Manager, xStocks, you will own and grow a portfolio of strategic partners, helping them scale adoption, increase AUM, and deepen their use of tokenized equities. You’ll act as a trusted partner externally, while internally operating across product, compliance, legal, treasury, and sales to ensure seamless execution and long-term success.

This role requires a strong balance of commercial ownership, product understanding, and relationship management, working across both high-profile institutional clients and emerging crypto-native partners. You’ll play a key role in identifying growth opportunities, driving engagement, and positioning xStocks as a leading platform in tokenized asset infrastructure.

The opportunity

• Own and grow a portfolio of high-value accounts, with a core focus on driving AUM and trading activity

• Drive a proactive, strategic approach to account growth by identifying and executing on expansion opportunities across existing partners

• Run account strategy, campaigns, and engagement plans to deepen relationships and increase usage

• Manage QBRs / MBRs (as the function matures), particularly with institutional clients (e.g. exchanges, brokerages, fintechs)

• Work across a diverse partner base — from large TradFi players to emerging DeFi protocols (including hands-on channels like Telegram where needed)

• Partner cross-functionally with product, legal/compliance, treasury, and sales on integrations, incentives, and account growth

• Track and optimize marketing incentives vs ROI, ensuring commercial efficiency

• Support treasury allocation requests and partner needs across the lifecycle

• Use tools like Salesforce, Dune, and AI workflows (Claude, n8n, etc.) to manage accounts, reporting, and insights

• Represent xStocks at global conferences, summits, and roadshows (~30–35% travel across US, APAC, Europe)

Skills you should HODL

• 5–7 years in Account Management / client-facing roles within fintech, crypto, or capital markets

• 2–3+ years in crypto, with solid understanding of DeFi, protocols, stablecoins, and on-chain ecosystems

• Experience working with institutional clients and/or trading/brokerage infrastructure (TradFi exposure is important)

• Proven ability to grow existing accounts (AUM, revenue, engagement) — not just close new logos

• Comfortable operating in ambiguity, asking the right questions, and building structure where none exists

• Strong cross-functional operator — able to work across product, compliance, legal, and commercial teams

• Commercially sharp with ability to manage incentives, track ROI, and drive measurable growth

• Professional presence with the ability to engage both institutional clients and crypto-native partners

Nice to haves

• Experience working with DeFi protocols or on-chain partners

• Familiarity with Dune analytics, CRM systems (Salesforce), and AI tooling

• Prior exposure to tokenized assets or equities / market structure
