Collaborate with performance, product, data, creative, and legal teams to keep initiatives moving and ensure results. Explore and activate online and in-store reseller or retail partnerships that deliver measurable returns. Core Requirements 3-5 years’ experience in business development, partnerships, or performance marketing, ideally in consumer subscriptions, telco/ISP, fintech, e‑commerce, media, or affiliate ecosystems.
