About Hillroute Capital

Hillroute Capital is a regulated, multi-strategy quantitative crypto hedge fund providing institution-grade exposure to digital assets. Hillroute Fund 1 (Cayman Islands, CIMA-regulated) has traded live since October 2024, applying a flexible, risk-managed approach to liquid digital-asset markets for institutions, family offices and other eligible investors. Our platform is supported by independent fund administration (Formidium), external audit (RSM) and institutional custody (Coinbase).

Role Mission

Build and feed Hillroute’s investor pipeline in the UAE. You own the pipeline from first touch through to commitment - originating prospects, running first meetings, and partnering directly with the fund’s senior team to close at the deep-dive stage. Success is a steady, well-documented flow of qualified investor conversations moving every week.

Core Responsibilities

• Origination & Outreach: Activate your own network and generate new leads through conferences, crypto events, warm referrals, private-bank and EAM channels. Having your own network matters for this role, and you will be asked to demonstrate it during the hiring process.

• First Meetings: Present the fund independently and credibly to HNIs, family offices and wealth managers using our materials.

• Qualification: Apply our qualification bar (ticket capability, decision-maker access, genuine allocation intent) before a prospect moves to a deep-dive meeting.

• Deep-Dive Preparation: Prepare full context ahead of every deep-dive meeting; support data and document requests afterwards.

• CRM Discipline: Log every touch in HubSpot; coordinate follow-ups with our IR operations lead.

• Market Presence: Represent Hillroute at Dubai digital-asset and investment events.

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 2–6 years in UAE wealth management, private banking, external asset management, fund distribution, or institutional/VIP client coverage at a digital-asset exchange

• An activatable network of UAE-based HNIs, family offices or wealth managers

• Crypto fluency w.r.t. comfort discussing BTC/ETH, derivatives and fund structures with sophisticated investors, or a demonstrably fast learner

• Demonstrated pipeline discipline you can show how you tracked and progressed prospects in your last role

• Presentable and polished in front of HNW clients

• UAE market experience required; existing UAE residence preferred

What We Offer

• Competitive base salary plus performance-linked incentives tied to capital raised

• A live, audited track record since October 2024 that has materially outperformed BTC with a fraction of its drawdown, a product you can credibly put in front of allocators

• Senior exposure from day one: you work directly with the fund’s leadership and investment team

• Institution-ready infrastructure: regulated Cayman fund, independent administration, external audit, institutional custody

• Clear growth path: room to grow into a senior IR role as AUM scales
