You will work closely with senior go-to-market leaders to support complex opportunities across banks, custodians, broker-dealers, asset managers, payment providers, and other institutional clients. The role will sit at the intersection of sales strategy, client diligence, RFP execution, market intelligence, business case development, and internal deal orchestration.

They are intellectually curious, detail-oriented, comfortable operating in white space, and able to turn complex product, risk, and market information into clear, client-ready materials. WHAT YOU’LL DO: Strategic Account Support: Partner with senior institutional sales leaders to support priority accounts across banks, custodians, broker-dealers, payment providers, and other financial institutions. Client Strategy & Business Case Development: Build client-specific business cases that frame the commercial rationale, ROI, operating model implications, and strategic value of Ripple’s institutional product suite. RFP, RFI & Diligence Execution: Help manage responses to RFPs, RFIs, due diligence requests, vendor questionnaires, and client follow-ups, coordinating across Product, Legal, Compliance, Engineering, InfoSec, Finance, Risk, and Sales. Institutional Product Positioning: Develop fluency across Ripple Custody, Ripple Payments, RLUSD, tokenization use cases, and adjacent institutional offerings, and help translate those capabilities into bank-ready language. Client-Ready Materials: Create polished presentations, briefing notes, account plans, meeting prep materials, executive summaries, proposal content, and follow-up documents for senior client stakeholders. Market & Competitive Intelligence: Work with the Product Marketing team on researching regional trends across digital asset custody, stablecoins, tokenized assets, institutional payments, blockchain infrastructure, and competing providers; synthesize implications for Ripple’s sales strategy. Cross-Functional Deal Orchestration: Track open questions, risks, dependencies, client asks, internal owners, and next steps across complex sales cycles. Pipeline & Account Planning: Help maintain structured views of strategic accounts, whitespace opportunities, stakeholder maps, use cases, commercial potential, and deal progression. Commercial Development Path: Build the product knowledge, client confidence, and institutional sales judgment required to eventually support or lead selected opportunities under senior guidance. WHAT YOU’LL BRING: Experience: 2–5 years of experience in financial services, fintech, banking, asset management, wealth management, capital markets, consulting, enterprise technology, or a related analytical/client-facing role.
