Business Development Manager (Junior to Mid-Level) – Hong Kong

Role Overview

CertiK is the global leader in Web3 and blockchain security. We are seeking a high-energy, target-driven Business Development Manager based in Hong Kong to accelerate our growth across the APAC region.

In this role, you will lead end-to-end sales cycles—from proactive outbound lead generation to closing deals for our suite of security solutions, including smart contract audits, penetration testing, formal verification, Skynet threat monitoring, and compliance services .

You will serve as a bridge between traditional financial institutions entering the digital asset space (Web2) and crypto-native projects (Web3), leveraging your regional market understanding and language capabilities to secure high-value security partnerships.

Key Responsibilities

Pipeline Generation & Outbound BD: Actively identify, prospect, and engage decision-makers (CTOs, Founders, Head of Web3/Digital Assets) across blockchain protocols, DeFi projects, RWA tokenization platforms, exchanges, and Web2 institutional entrants.

Full Sales Cycle Execution: Drive complex, multi-stakeholder sales cycles from initial outreach and technical discovery to proposal creation, price negotiation, and contract execution.

Enterprise & Institutional Sales: Engage traditional financial institutions, asset managers, family offices, and tech enterprises seeking institutional-grade security for their Web3 initiatives.

Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with CertiK’s global security engineering, solutions architecture, delivery, and marketing teams to ensure smooth deal execution and client onboarding.

Account Expansion & Networking: Build long-term relationships with key accounts to drive renewals, audit add-ons, and monitoring subscriptions. Represent CertiK at local industry events, conferences, and ecosystem meetups.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

Experience: 2–5 years of successful B2B sales or business development experience in Web3, blockchain security, cybersecurity, SaaS, or institutional fintech.

Domain Knowledge

Strong familiarity with Web3 native ecosystems (EVM chains, Layer 1/Layer 2 protocols, DeFi, tokenomics, smart contract architectures).

Good understanding of Web2 cybersecurity fundamentals (e.g., penetration testing, code review, risk assessments).

Core Languages: Professional working proficiency (written and spoken) in English and Mandarin for regional collaboration and global client management.

Track Record: Proven ability to meet or exceed quarterly sales quotas through structured outbound outreach and consultative deal closing.

Language & Skills Bonuses (Highly Preferred)

Cantonese Advantage (Bonus): Native or full professional fluency in Cantonese is a strong advantage for localized Hong Kong institutional coverage, government/regulatory networks, and local Web3 builders.

Regional Asian Languages (Bonus): Proficiency in additional regional languages—such as Japanese, Korean, or Vietnamese, —is a significant bonus for driving APAC cross-border expansion or local market expansion.

Security & Audit Familiarity: Direct experience selling smart contract audits, penetration tests, or bug bounty services.

Regulatory Context: Understanding of Hong Kong’s digital asset licensing landscape (e.g., SFC VASP regulations, HKMA stablecoin frameworks).

Education: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Cybersecurity, Finance, Business Administration, or a related field.
