Job description

OKX will be prioritising applicants who have a current right to work in Singapore, and do not require OKX's sponsorship of a visa.

Who We Are

At OKX, we believe that the future will be reshaped by crypto, and ultimately contribute to every individual's freedom.

OKX is a leading crypto exchange, and the developer of OKX Wallet, giving millions access to crypto trading and decentralized crypto applications (dApps). OKX is also a trusted brand by hundreds of large institutions seeking access to crypto markets. We are safe and reliable, backed by our Proof of Reserves.

Across our multiple offices globally, we are united by our core principles: We Before Me, Do the Right Thing, and Get Things Done. These shared values drive our culture, shape our processes, and foster a friendly, rewarding, and diverse environment for every OK-er.

About The Opportunity

OKX runs one of the largest crypto exchange businesses in the world.

Our institutional banking relationships are central to the next phase of growth.

We are hiring a senior banker in Singapore to own the global bank relationship book under a single point of accountability, reporting to the Global Head of Strategic Partnerships.

This person is the institutional face of OKX to global banks, and the institutional face of global banks inside OKX.

What You’ll Be Doing

Own the global bank relationship book as a portfolio.

Execute relationship strategy account by account across G-SIBs, and regional banks for the full operating and custody bank stack across all OKX regions.
Sequence partnership asks, manage escalations, source new partners, and own the executive ladder at each institution.

Serve as HQ's senior banking voice.

When the founder, Singapore C-Suite, or Global Head of Strategic Partnerships and his Financial Institutions Business Development Team needs a read on a counterparty — credit posture, risk appetite, partnership readiness, blockers, operationalization status and timeline — you are the call.
Host visiting bank executives, and you draft the narrative when OKX briefs local executives, the board, risk, payment product, or internal audit on the banking book.

Build the cultural bridge between bank and exchange.

The hardest part of being a G-SIB's chosen crypto counterparty is building and balancing the trust and business relationships between your internal and external stakeholders.
Translate structural and cultural differences in risk appetite, escalation culture, compliance, control, product, and operational reliance — Actively unblock issues before they become incidents.

Drive strategic banking workstreams.

Coordinate strategic banking and commercial partnerships with banks, working alongside the product and regional teams responsible for each initiative.
