Company Description
Esprow is a highly innovative and fast-growing company with some of the world's highest profile companies as our clients. Working with us, you will be exposed to innovative and cutting-edge technologies and be heavily involved throughout the application development. Our Esprow Enterprise Testing Platform (ETP) is unique in the market of automated certification, testing, and simulation of financial trading solutions. With presence in New York, Singapore, Tokyo, and India, we deliver our technology to clients across the globe.

Position Summary
We are looking for an energetic, experienced, ambitious, and astute Business Development Manager to build a network of distribution and integration partners to increase Esprow's market share of its market-leading solutions for automated testing of trading systems, venue simulation, and certification of exchange connectivity.
Esprow's clients are global tier-1 financial institutions, including the largest international banks, brokers, exchanges, and market data vendors. Working alongside the Managing Director, you will collaborate in the design and development of a well-structured strategy to create a network of distribution and integration partners by prioritizing regions of interest, building a funnel of partners, and analysing their capabilities and suitability.

You will be responsible for designing a partner training, marketing, and support program, and hire your own team of specialists to continue growing the network.
This role requires the ability to understand our market, competitive positioning, technical solutions, and existing sales process. You should have an inclination for lateral thinking (i.e. thinking outside of the box) and be a team player.
