• Deep Market Intelligence Analysis: Conduct exhaustive quantitative and qualitative research on the Indian FX/CFD vertical, isolating localized user trading behavior, retention patterns, trust barriers, and lifecycle growth metrics.
• Competitor Ecosystem Auditing: Map and analyze how offshore brokerage brands position their software, convert market demand into revenue, and leverage structured affiliate loops.
• Regulatory Environment Monitoring: Track and evaluate evolving legislative boundaries within India, specifically highlighting compliance variables surrounding resident engagement in offshore leveraged forex and CFD activities versus permitted onshore exchange-traded solutions.
• Introducing Broker (IB) Optimization: Identify, evaluate, and optimize regional channel mix combinations, partner commission models, and local Introducing Broker (IB) networks to unlock scalable growth.
• Strategic GTM Refinement: Isolate internal product and operational gaps, delivering structured recommendations to global leadership on localized pricing strategies, payment gateway experiences, and support infrastructure.
• Matrix Team Alignment: Collaborate closely with regional commercial managers and HQ engineering/product stakeholders to smoothly convert local insights into actionable action plans and synchronized milestones.

Required Skills & Qualifications

• 5–8 years of progressive professional history running market intelligence, corporate strategy, or quantitative business analysis tracks.
• Minimum of 3+ years of explicit, hands-on experience operating directly within the Indian market for a **CFD broker, multi-asset trading firm, or premium retail fintech financial services platform**.
• Deep, practical technical knowledge of the Indian financial ecosystem, including user deposit/withdrawal expectations, localized acquisition channels, and **IB/affiliate network dynamics**.
• Comprehensive conceptual understanding of the legal frameworks and structural constraints governing leveraged currency trading and derivative allocations within India.
• Proven capacity to turn highly unstructured, ambiguous market conditions into clear visual frameworks, sharp strategic data points, and actionable executive advice.
• A Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Finance, Economics, Marketing, or a highly related quantitative field.
• Location Context: 100% remote-first full-time operational flexibility open exclusively to qualified strategy specialists permanently residing within India .

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Prior experience operating within a matrixed corporate structure, acting as a direct operational link between decentralized local units and centralized global headquarters.
• Familiarity with automated market tracking tools, data indexing layers, or visual business intelligence dashboards.

What We Offer

• The exceptional professional runway to directly architect, advise, and pilot the entry and scaling playbook for a global fintech trading powerhouse inside India.
• Highly competitive local salary configurations calibrated accurately against your industry depth and brokerage network expertise.
• Stable remote-work parameters providing a highly collaborative, result-oriented, and flexible work-from-home schedule.
• Profound cross-functional personal development alongside world-class data scientists, platform developers, and legendary financial industry experts.
