The Role

Were looking for a Business Development Specialist to own our partnership program end to end. This isnt a support role. Youll be the single point of accountability for finding partners closing them onboarding them and keeping the program moving. Youll spend most of your time hands-on: prospecting pitching negotiating. But youll also need to step back regularly and think strategically about where the program should go next whats working and what needs to change.

Youll work closely with our tech team to scope integrations and with our Growth team to align partnerships with broader company goals. If you like building something you can point to and improving it over time this role is built for that.

What Youll Do

• Identify prospect and reach out to potential partners across relevant markets
• Own the full sales cycle: outreach follow-up negotiation and closing
• Lead onboarding for new partners coordinating with our tech team on integration needs
• Build and maintain partnership collateral: outreach templates pitch decks one-pagers
• Track pipeline and program health and report on whats working
• Step back periodically to reassess strategy: which partner types to prioritize what messaging is converting where the program should expand
• Manage the full partner relationship post-close not just the handoff

What Were Looking For

• 3 years of experience in business development partnerships or a similar full-cycle role
• Comfortable owning a process from prospecting through to long-term relationship management
• Strong written and verbal communication skills including negotiation
• Experience coordinating with technical teams on integration or onboarding requirements
• Ability to work independently and manage a full program without close oversight
• High ownership mindset: someone who builds the process not just executes it

Bonus: experience in SaaS marketplaces or domain/branding-adjacent industries

Why This Role is Different

• Full ownership of a partnership program not one piece of a larger teams process
• Direct exposure to founders and high-value strategic decisions
• Room to shape the strategy not just execute someone elses playbook
• Clear path to grow the function as the program scales
