• Build and maintain a healthy pipeline of qualified API opportunities, tracking progress and forecasting revenue
• Understand client data needs and propose the right API tier, endpoints, and integration approach
• Serve as the primary point of contact between API clients and internal teams (product, engineering, support) for onboarding and issue resolution
• Expand revenue from existing API clients by identifying upsell and cross-sell opportunities
• Stay current on competitor API offerings, pricing, and market trends to sharpen CMC’s positioning
• Collaborate with Product to relay client feedback and influence the API roadmap
What You Bring

• Strong network within the crypto industry — exchanges, DeFi, fintech, or institutional crypto
• Solid understanding of APIs, data products, and how technical buyers evaluate them
• Proven track record of meeting or exceeding revenue targets
• Fluency in English (native level); additional languages are a bonus
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills across all organizational levels

Nice to Have
