Overview

Business Development Lead – Growth Marketing

Some people chase deals. Others create them. This isn’t a sales job dressed up in fancy jargon. It’s a role for the rare breed who thrives in the high-voltage intersection of growth, partnerships, and marketing. If you’re the kind who can walk into a room, or a Zoom, and turn sceptics into believers, ink deals that others thought impossible, and then squeeze every drop of value from those partnerships, this is where you belong.

We’re not looking for safe hands. We’re looking for sharp minds. Someone who reads numbers like sheet music, who can spot ROI trends before anyone else, and who has the audacity to craft strategies that rewrite the rules of acquisition.

This role is about hunting, yes, but it’s also about building, nurturing, and scaling partnerships until they become powerhouses. You’ll be driving growth not as a cog in the wheel, but as the architect of the machine.

What You’ll Command

Responsibilities

• Hunt, sign, and cultivate commercial partnerships with affiliates, advertisers, and media groups.
• Negotiate and close deals that move the revenue needle, fast.
• Dissect campaigns, extract insights, and turn ROI into a competitive weapon.
• Build trust with partners through relentless communication and out-the-box strategies.
• Dream up promotions that don’t just attract attention but convert it into measurable growth.
• Stay ahead of the industry curve, anticipating shifts before they hit the mainstream.
• Drive innovation across channels, tools, and partner models to fuel the growth engine.

What You Bring

• 2–3 years of battle-tested experience in sales management, relationship management, or business development.
• Fluency in digital marketing: SEO, SEM, Google Ads, social media, mobile marketing.
• Mastery of metrics, CPA, ROI, CPM, CPI, CPV; you know how to move them.
• Experience with third-party tools, CRMs, and client-facing negotiations.
• A creative streak sharpened with commercial acumen; you don’t just follow the playbook, you write it.
• Strong project management, interpersonal skills, and deal-closing tenacity.
• Above all, entrepreneurial hunger.

Why This Role Matters

Because growth isn’t a buzzword. It’s survival. You’ll fuel it through partnerships that matter, strategies that stick, and deals that define the future.

Are you the one who doesn’t just play the game, but changes it?

This is the challenge. If your blood runs fast at turning opportunities into empires, don’t sit back. Step forward. Send us something that proves you’re not another name on a CV pile.
