Our Yerevan-based team of approximately 10 professionals works on quantitative research, algorithmic trading systems, financial data and analytics, machine-learning solutions and the supporting technology infrastructure for international clients.

We are looking for a Business Operations & Development Manager to take ownership of day-to-day business operations while helping us systematically develop new client relationships and improve our market positioning.

Track contracts, subscriptions, renewals, deadlines and outstanding action items.

Coordinate with external accountants, lawyers, IT providers, landlords and other professional advisers.

Identify prospective client companies, funds, trading firms, financial institutions, technology businesses and relevant decision-makers.

Prepare personalised outreach messages, capability statements and initial proposals.

Maintain prospect lists and CRM-style records of communications, next steps and outcomes.

Research competitors, service offerings, positioning, pricing approaches and emerging client needs.

Turn market findings into practical recommendations for improving our services, products, case studies and client-facing materials.

Help define and refine service packages so that they address identifiable market demand.

Coordinate the companies’ presence on LinkedIn, their websites and other relevant online channels.

Maintain a basic content calendar and help prepare company updates, case studies, research-related posts and marketing materials.

Monitor basic website, social-media and business-development performance indicators.

Support preparation of presentations, proposal documents and other client materials.

Required qualifications

At least 3 years of relevant professional experience in business operations, project coordination, business development, consulting, research, professional services, finance, legal operations or a related area.
