About the role
We are seeking a Business Development & Partnerships Manager to drive our media partnership and website acquisition pipeline in the US market. The ideal candidate has a genuine network within the affiliate, publishing, or digital media space, strong US market knowledge, and a track record of sourcing, closing, and managing commercial partnerships. You will own the full partnership lifecycle end to end, from sourcing and negotiation through to post-signing relationship management. The goal is building the kinds of relationships that compound in value over time.
What you'll do
- Source media partnership and website acquisition targets in the US market, primarily through your existing industry network.
- Build and expand your network by attending and actively working industry conferences and events.
- Lead outreach, qualification, and negotiation with prospective partners and site owners through to signed agreement.
- Manage the full partnership pipeline, keeping opportunities and deal status organized and reported to leadership.
- Own the relationship post-close: track performance, manage renewals, resolve issues, and ensure the partnership continues to deliver value for both sides.
- Represent the company at industry events, acting as a visible and credible point of contact for current and prospective partners.
- Collaborate closely with legal/commercial and SEO/content teams to ensure deals are well-structured and integrate smoothly after signing.
What we're looking for
- Strong US market knowledge: you understand the US digital media, affiliate, or online publishing landscape and know how to operate within it.
- Proven experience in business development and partnership management, ideally including sourcing or evaluating website acquisitions, not just standard media deals.
- An existing, active network in media, publishing, affiliate marketing, or a related digital industry that you can put to work immediately.
- A track record of effective in-person networking, and you're comfortable and energized on a conference floor.
- Strong negotiation skills and commercial judgment, with the ability to structure agreements that work for both sides.
- Excellent relationship management skills, equally strong at closing a deal and nurturing it over the long term.
- Comfortable owning a pipeline independently, from first contact through ongoing account management.
- Experience in SEO or affiliate marketing is a strong preference, not a strict requirement.
What we offer
- Be part of a global performance marketing team that values innovation, autonomy, and measurable results
- Fully remote role with flexible hours and a collaborative, performance-driven culture
- Work with and report directly to senior management
- Opportunity to lead partnership and acquisition strategies that directly impact growth, traffic, and revenue across multiple markets
- Play a pivotal role in shaping the company's US media partnership footprint and acquisition strategy for a fast-growing, high-performance organization.
Requires US digital media or affiliate market knowledge, business development and partnership experience, an active industry network, negotiation and relationship management skills, and independent pipeline ownership.
Key Responsibilities
- sourcing partnerships
- negotiating agreements
- managing relationships
