Business Development Specialist

Come build something real at a fast-growing tech startup, where your work on day one actually moves the business. We're looking for someone who wants to own a partnership program end to end, not just support one.

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.

What you'll do:

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
401(k), health, dental, and vision insurance
Paid time off
