Serve as deal principal across the full lifecycle
Partner closely with the VP of Partnerships on delivery of active agreements

Requirements

What you’ll need

10+ years in business development or strategy with a track record of personally leading and closing large, complex deals

Ability to build a deal from a blank page — original business case construction, not template execution
Executive-level communication; can present and negotiate at the C-suite without support
Exceptional analytical and commercial thinking — can model a deal and intuit its strategic risk simultaneously
