Job description

Business Development Executive (Partnerships & Growth Channels)

We are hiring a Business Development Executive to grow Beyond Insights through partnerships, affiliates, and high-leverage marketing channels . This role focuses on identifying and developing channel opportunities, closing partnership deals, and working with internal teams and external partners to execute campaigns — with strong attention to ROI, conversion performance, and profitability .

This is not a direct sales role. You are not expected to close individual customers 1-to-1. Your job is to build and optimize channels that consistently bring in qualified customers.

Key Responsibilities

Partnerships & Affiliates

• Identify, qualify, and develop strategic partners and affiliate relationships (a preliminary list is available).
• Build partner proposals and commercial structures (commission, revenue share, joint campaigns, collaborations).
• Manage partner relationships professionally with clear deliverables and timelines.

Deal Closing & Contracting

• Lead negotiations and close partnership agreements.
• Coordinate internal requirements and ensure partner commitments can be executed operationally.
• Support contract development and ensure smooth implementation across teams.
• Evaluate marketing channels based on ROI, cost efficiency, and scalability.
• Track channel performance and recommend where to scale, improve, or stop.
• Work with internal stakeholders to improve conversion performance where needed.

Campaign Planning & Execution

• Design channel-led campaigns (channels, mechanics, budget use, timeline, deliverables).
• Coordinate execution with partners, affiliates, agencies, and internal teams.
• Run post-campaign reviews and implement improvements.

Success Metrics (Examples)

• Growth in qualified leads and enrollments attributable to partner/channel initiatives
• Strong execution discipline: on-time launches, accurate tracking, clean reporting
• Expansion of active partner/affiliate portfolio producing measurable outcomes

Requirements

Experience

• 2–5 years in partnerships, business development (alliances), growth marketing, channel development, or a similar commercial role.
• Demonstrated track record of growing a channel or partnership initiative with measurable results.

Capabilities

• Strong negotiation and stakeholder management skills.
• Comfortable working with numbers (ROI, cost, conversion rates) and using data to make decisions.
• Solid project coordination and follow-through across multiple parties.
• Able to work independently, learn fast, and execute with discipline.

Nice to Have

• Experience in education, events, coaching, financial services, or community-driven businesses.
• Familiarity with affiliate programs, campaign tracking (e.g., UTMs/referral links), and digital funnel concepts.
• High integrity and professionalism
• Commercial judgment — you can distinguish "busy work" from real leverage
• Clear communicator who can work cross-functionally without drama

What You Can Expect

• A performance-driven environment with high standards and direct feedback
• Opportunity to build scalable growth channels that materially impact the business
• Exposure to marketing strategy, partnerships, and campaign execution across regional markets

We're looking for passionate and dedicated people especially people who appreciate education, people who appreciate living a purposeful life because that's our mission. Our mission is to bring out the best in people through financial education.
