About the Opportunity

We are looking for a dedicated and proactive VIP Relationship Manager (VIP RM) to join our Eastern EU team.

As a VIP RM, you will play a key role in expanding our base of VIP clients in the broader Eastern part of the European Union. This role is focused on active traders, high-net-worth individuals (HNWIs), family offices, prop trading desks, and smaller corporate clients, driving our growth through partnerships and key client development in parallel to our institutional team, which, on the other hand, focuses on larger professional, enterprise and institutional clients.

Client Management and Growth

Build long-lasting client relationships to secure referrals and originate new prospective clients, while working with operations to address potential roadblocks.

 

Compliance and Brand Advocacy

Oversee legal and compliance aspects, including adherence to the relevant regulations, client KYC/AML processes, and reporting to ensure all activities meet the highest standards. Serve as a brand ambassador, educating customers on OKX's full value proposition, from trading tools to yield products, while escalating feedback to improve platform compliance and user experience.

What We Look For In You

Technical and Analytical Skills

Strong analytical skills to interpret market data, user behavior metrics, and performance dashboards for revenue optimization and product feedback loops.

Deep familiarity with crypto products (e.g., perpetuals, staking, Earn, fiat integrations) and trading platforms.

Soft Skills and Leadership

Exceptional communication, negotiation, and relationship-building abilities, with experience managing VIPs such as HNWI, family offices, proptrading desks.
