    Job description

    About Us
    Checker is the global liquidity network for stablecoins. We enable regulated financial institutions — including banks, Payments Service Providers (PSPs), remittance providers, and FX brokers — to adopt stablecoins and scale globally by plugging into our network.
    As we expand our footprint in Asia-Pacific (APAC), we’re looking for an exceptional leader who understands the unique opportunities and challenges of bringing crypto payment solutions to this dynamic region.
    We are a global-first company. Our core team is based on the East Coast of the U.S., with colleagues across Europe and Asia. Our team comes from trading, treasury, operations, and engineering backgrounds, spanning Wall Street hedge funds, large crypto institutions, and blockchain technology startups.
    At Checker, culture drives everything we do. We act as true partners to our customers and meet them where they are. Operating at the forefront of fintech means approaching every challenge with an “adapt and overcome” mindset. You’ll thrive here if you excel in fast-paced environments and want to make a real impact.
    The Opportunity
    Asia-Pacific represents one of the most exciting growth markets for crypto adoption globally. You will be responsible for establishing and scaling Checker’s presence across Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and additional Asian markets.
    This is a ground-floor opportunity to build relationships and drive adoption with payment processors, consumer neobanks, brokerages, and banks across the region.
    What You’ll Do
    Business Development & Sales
    Own the full sales cycle from prospecting to close for enterprise and mid-market accounts across Asia
    Identify and pursue high-value opportunities across financial services, including banks, merchant acquirers, remittance providers, cross-border PSPs, neobanks, and crypto exchanges
    Build and manage a robust pipeline using a consultative, solution-oriented sales approach
    Navigate complex, multi-stakeholder sales processes involving CFOs, CTOs, compliance teams, and business leaders
    Structure deals and negotiate contracts that balance customer needs with company objectives
    Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and compliance teams to tailor solutions for regional requirements
    Market Development & Brand Building
    Serve as the face of Checker in Asia at industry conferences, fintech events, and client meetings
    Develop and execute a regional go-to-market strategy aligned with local market dynamics and regulatory environments
    Build strategic partnerships with payment processors, banking partners, and industry associations
    Generate market intelligence on competitors, customer needs, and emerging opportunities
    Create case studies and success stories that resonate with the Asian market
    Contribute to marketing initiatives including webinars, thought leadership, and regional campaigns
    What You Bring
    Essential Requirements
    7+ years of B2B sales experience with a track record of consistently exceeding quota, preferably in fintech, payments, or SaaS
    Deep understanding of Asian financial services and payments across multiple countries, with existing networks in at least two core markets
    Proven ability to source, develop, and close six-figure enterprise deals
    Experience navigating regulatory environments and working with compliance teams in financial services
    Fluent English required
    Comfortable with cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and digital asset payments (expertise not required, curiosity is)
    Strong commercial acumen with the ability to articulate ROI and build compelling business cases
    Self-starter capable of working independently in a remote environment
    Willingness to travel 30–40% across Asia and occasionally to international offices
    Highly Valued
    Existing relationships with decision-makers at target accounts
    Experience selling into trading, treasury, finance, or operations teams
    Knowledge of cross-border payments challenges, including FX volatility, settlement timelines, payment methods, regulatory controls, and transaction costs
    Understanding of Asian regulatory frameworks for crypto and digital payments
    Experience building a territory from scratch or launching products in new markets
    Experience recruiting, building, and scaling multi-functional regional teams
    Personal Attributes
    Hunter mentality with strong entrepreneurial drive and resilience
    High cultural intelligence and ability to adapt across diverse Asian markets
    Consultative sales approach focused on customer pain points
    Strategic thinker with strong execution ability
    Comfortable operating in ambiguity and rapid change
    Strong executive presence, communication skills, and cross-functional collaboration
    What We Offer
    Competitive base salary with aggressive commission structure
    Equity options in a high-growth company
    Comprehensive benefits package
    Flexible remote work arrangement
    Travel to global team gatherings and industry events
    Opportunity to shape Checker’s Asia strategy from the ground up
