What the job really is

The Sales Director at Arcana will focus on driving new business development and expanding the company's presence across the APAC region, particularly in Hong Kong. This role involves full-cycle enterprise sales, including sourcing, engaging executives, positioning solutions, and closing complex SaaS deals with hedge funds and asset managers. The position requires building trusted relationships with senior investment leaders and collaborating with product and leadership teams to influence strategic growth based on market feedback.

Things to weigh
  • No salary listed
  • Role involves significant autonomy and strategic accountability, which may appeal to candidates looking for ownership
  • Existing relationships in the region provide an advantage, but candidates should be prepared for high-stakes sales cycles
  • The position is a senior individual contributor role with no direct reports initially, which may not suit those seeking a managerial position
