About this role

The Business Development Executive, Financial Institutions (EMEA) position at TRM Labs is a remote, full-time senior individual contributor role based in the United Kingdom, ideal for an experienced professional with deep credibility and an established network across regional banks. This role focuses on activating existing trusted relationships to help TRM Labs secure a vital presence within major financial institutions.

Role Overview

TRM Labs is seeking a Business Development Executive to expand strategic access across the EMEA financial institution ecosystem. This is not a traditional closing-quota sales role or an entry-level networking position. Instead, the mandate is to leverage an already earned network to open senior-level conversations, multi-thread strategic accounts, and create qualified enterprise opportunities. The successful candidate will help TRM Labs become an integral part of crucial digital asset, financial crime, and compliance discussions happening inside major institutions.

Key Responsibilities

Open senior-level access at priority EMEA financial institutions by activating an already built and trusted network.
Build multi-threaded relationships with stakeholders shaping digital asset strategy, financial crime programs, compliance priorities, investigations, risk, and innovation.
Help TRM Labs earn a seat in important strategic discussions inside financial institutions and identify high-value enterprise and partnership opportunities.
Represent TRM externally at conferences, executive forums, practitioner communities, and industry events to turn public presence and private conversations into qualified opportunities.
Partner closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Policy teams to translate strategic access into qualified customer opportunities and long-term competitive advantage.
Transform market, technology, and regulatory shifts into an early-warning system to spot opportunities and risks before competitors.
Close the loop between field signal and internal strategy by feeding customer insights, buying dynamics, objections, and market intelligence back to product and go-to-market teams.

Requirements

Based remotely within Europe.
Willingness to travel 30% to 40% of the time for conferences and in-person account work.
Direct experience with financial institutions or crypto-native infrastructure companies serving them in the EMEA region.
Deep, credible network across EMEA financial institutions, ideally gained from serving as a head of digital assets at a bank or operating at a crypto infrastructure firm.
Comfortable being customer-facing and public-facing through conferences, panels, and thought leadership.
Proven track record of turning relationships into a real pipeline rather than just making introductions.

Nice to Have

Daily utilization of artificial intelligence for research, prospecting, and pipeline management, backed by a concrete, demonstrable workflow.

Skills and Tools

Applied AI fluency to accelerate repeatable workflows, structure and solve problems, improve output quality, and increase speed and leverage.
Enterprise relationship management and multi-threading across complex financial institutions.
Market intelligence, regulatory shift analysis, and feedback loop management.
Public speaking and executive representation at industry events and forums.
