Growth Partner / İş Geliştirme Uzmanı (Independent, Commission-Based)

Koru Impact is looking for two or three independent growth partners in Türkiye who can open doors at financial institutions and help us win our first engagements. These are independent, commission-based roles. They are not employment.

The difficult part first. The role pays commission only: there is no base fee or retainer, and commission is paid only after a client has paid Koru. Koru Impact is an early-stage firm looking for its first engagements, and we want to win them in Türkiye alongside people who already know the decision-makers in financial institutions here. Purchasing decisions at banks can take many months, and our first engagements are likely to be small, tightly scoped advisory projects.

About us

Koru Impact LLC is a management consultancy incorporated at the Qatar Financial Centre (QFC). The QFC Authority licenses it for management and risk management consulting, for information technology consultancy that includes the governance of artificial intelligence (AI), and for the sale of software built to a client's own requirements. It is not authorised by the QFC Regulatory Authority and provides no regulated financial service. Our work concerns how banks, insurers and other financial institutions make important decisions, who approves them, and how they can evidence those decisions afterwards, including decisions supported by AI. Our consultants bring experience in organisational psychology, organisational behaviour and decision science. Our decision-governance software can be demonstrated today on synthetic data; no institution uses it yet.

What you will do

• Make first contact with decision-makers in banks, participation banks, insurers and capital markets firms in Türkiye: heads of risk, compliance, internal control, data and AI, and board members.

• Lead the commercial conversation within the price ranges and scope that our Founder and Director, Şener Cem Irmak, sets in writing. You cannot commit Koru to any price, scope or contract. He confirms the scope and signs every contract, and proposals and contracts are issued on Koru's own documents.

• Tell us what institutions actually need, so that our offer is shaped by what you hear.

• Work remotely from anywhere in Türkiye, at your own pace, alongside your other work. Meetings with institutions may be online or in person. Any travel Koru asks for, and how its cost is met, is agreed in writing beforehand.

What we are looking for

• At least ten years in financial services, in consulting, or in selling services to regulated institutions.

• A network you built yourself and keep current: senior people at financial institutions in Türkiye who take your call.

• Experience of taking an institution all the way from a first conversation to a signed contract with an outside provider.

• Fluent Turkish and professional English.

• The ability to invoice as a self-employed professional or through your own company.

• If you have a conflict of interest, for example because you work for an institution you would approach, please tell us at the start.

• A network that also reaches institutions with Gulf shareholders, or financial institutions in the Gulf, is a plus.

What we offer

• Commission on the fees Koru collects from work you bring in, paid after the client has paid Koru. Shortlisted candidates receive our written terms before a final conversation with our Founder and Director.

• Each introduction we accept is registered in writing. If an institution registered to you signs with Koru within the period set out in your agreement with us, you earn commission on that work.

• Direct work with Şener Cem Irmak, and your view on every proposal to an institution you introduced before it goes out.

• Freedom to keep your own clients and your other business relationships.

• There is no fee to apply or to work with us.

How we work

Introductions are made one to one. We do not use bought or scraped contact lists, automated messages or mass email. No payment or gift, and no hospitality beyond ordinary meeting courtesy, is offered to anyone at an institution on Koru's behalf, and we expect the same of everyone who works with us. We do not promise an institution anything we cannot deliver.

How to apply

Apply through LinkedIn. We acknowledge every application within five working days (Monday to Friday). If your application meets the requirements above, we then send you three short questions:

1. Which types of financial institution, and which roles within them, can you reach directly?

2. Describe one conversation you opened that ended in a signed contract with an outside provider. Please do not name the institution or the people.

3. How do you work today, how many hours a week could you give this role, and is there any conflict of interest we should know about?

Please leave out of your curriculum vitae (CV) any photograph, date of birth, marital status, military-service status and health information. Applications close on 4 November 2026 at 23:59 Türkiye time.

Your personal data

Koru Impact LLC is the controller of the information you send us when you apply through LinkedIn. The firm is registered at the Qatar Financial Centre in Doha under registration number 04642. We use your information only to assess your application, because this is necessary to take steps towards a possible contract with you (in Türkiye, Article 5(2)(c) of Law No. 6698 on the Protection of Personal Data). We receive it through LinkedIn, whose own privacy policy covers LinkedIn's handling of it. We keep it in LinkedIn's hiring tools and in our email and file service, Google Workspace; both may store it outside Türkiye and Qatar. Only the people at Koru who assess applications see it, and it is not passed to anyone else. If we do not work together, we delete it by 4 May 2027 at the latest. To ask whether we hold your information, or for a copy, correction or deletion, or to use your other rights under Article 11 of Law No. 6698, use the contact page at koruimpact.org/en/contact, reply to any message we send you about your application, or write to Koru Impact LLC, Burj Doha, Building 15, Street 910, Zone 60, P.O. Box 27110, Doha, Qatar. If you are not satisfied with our answer, or receive no answer within 30 days, you may complain to the Personal Data Protection Board in Türkiye or to the QFC Data Protection Office.
