About the role
As our Business Development Specialist, you'll be the single point of accountability for our partnership program: finding partners, closing them, onboarding them, and keeping the whole thing moving. Most of your time is hands-on (prospecting, pitching, negotiating), but you'll also step back regularly to shape where the program goes next.
Responsibilities
- Prospect and reach out to potential partners
- Own the full cycle: outreach, negotiation, closing
- Lead onboarding, working with our tech team on integrations
- Build the collateral that supports the program: templates, decks, one-pagers
- Track pipeline health and report on what's working
- Manage the relationship after the deal closes, not just the handoff
What you bring
- 4+ years in business development, partnerships, or a full-cycle sales role
- Strong communication and negotiation skills
- Comfort working with technical teams on integration needs
- A builder's mindset: you improve the process, not just run it
Bonus: experience in SaaS, marketplaces, or domain/branding-adjacent industries
Why you'll like it here
- Full ownership of a program, not a slice of someone else's process
- Direct collaboration with the founder and leadership team
- Room to shape strategy, not just execute a playbook
Benefits
- 401(k)
- Health insurance
- Dental insurance
- Vision insurance
- Paid time off
