About Ctrl Alt
We’re building a high-performance, people-first culture where ambitious individuals can thrive. We move fast, think big and hold ourselves to a high bar, while keeping things collaborative, open and genuinely fun. At Ctrl Alt ideas win on merit, teams work closely with leadership, and everyone has a voice in shaping what we build next.
We believe that hard work should come with real reward. You won’t just join a company - you’ll help build one. Last year alone, we grew from 17 to 50 people, and this year we’re going faster and further. That means real responsibility, meaningful impact, and the opportunity to grow alongside a company that’s redefining the future of finance through the tokenization of alternative assets.
If you’re excited by scale-up energy, ownership, and the chance to help shape both a business and a culture, Ctrl Alt is where you can do the most rewarding work of your career.

What's Involved
As we scale our go-to-market presence across MENA and beyond, we're looking for a sharp, self-driven Business Development Executive to help us identify and engage the next wave of clients and partners. This is a research-heavy, intelligence-led role sitting at the intersection of market analysis and outbound origination. You'll be the first to spot where tokenization is gaining traction globally, build a detailed picture of what's happening in each market, and turn that intelligence into a qualified pipeline.
What you'll be doing:
- Conduct ongoing market research to track regulatory developments, sandbox initiatives, and tokenization announcements across target geographies.
- Produce structured, actionable intelligence reports on market readiness, key stakeholders, competitive landscape, and emerging opportunities - shared with leadership and the wider commercial team on a regular cadence.
- Build and maintain a prioritised target list of prospective clients.
- Design and execute outbound outreach campaigns. Crafting personalised messaging, identifying the right contacts, and opening doors to qualified conversations across new markets.
- Engage directly with prospects through calls, meetings, and industry events to understand their needs, position Ctrl Alt's value proposition, and progress opportunities through the pipeline.
- Collaborate closely with the CEO and regional leadership to prioritise new markets, shape go-to-market strategy, and feed intelligence back into product and regulatory positioning.
- Monitor and analyse competitor activity, partner ecosystems, and relevant blockchain network developments
