Partnerships Executive

Role

OENA® is looking for a Partnerships Executive to own new business and support our technology partner relationships. You'll find and open conversations with ambitious ecommerce brands, turn the right ones into qualified calls with our founders, and help build the partner network that brings new brands our way.

This is a hands-on commercial role. You'll run outreach end to end: building target lists, writing considered messages across email and LinkedIn, following up on inbound leads and booking calls. Alongside that, you'll work with platform partners such as Meta, Klaviyo and Shopify so that OENA® is front of mind when their brands need a growth partner. You'll work directly with our founders, and every conversation you open should reflect the standard of the work we deliver.

Responsibilities

• Build and enrich high-quality target lists of premium D2C and Shopify brands across the UK, Europe and US, using buying signals such as ad activity, hiring, launches and tech stack.
• Run personalised outreach across email and LinkedIn. Fewer, better messages, not volume for its own sake.
• Maintain and improve OENA®'s outbound infrastructure, from sending domains and sequences to CRM workflows, so the pipeline runs reliably.
• Respond to and qualify inbound leads, including Meta lead forms, quickly and properly.
• Book qualified discovery calls and Aperture audits for our founders, with a clear brief for each.
• Support relationships with our technology partners, including Meta, Klaviyo and Shopify, to build a steady source of referrals.
• Manage partner directory listings, certifications and co-marketing opportunities.
• Keep the CRM accurate and every lead's next step clear.
• Track reply, booking and conversion rates, and refine targeting and messaging based on what performs.

Experience

• 1–3+ years in business development, sales development, partnerships or new business, ideally within an agency, SaaS or ecommerce business.
• Strong list-building skills, with hands-on experience sourcing, enriching and verifying data using tools such as Apollo, Clay and Store Leads.
• Hands-on experience running cold email campaigns in Smartlead, Instantly or similar. Experience setting up domains, warm-up and deliverability is a strong plus.
• Comfortable with LinkedIn Sales Navigator and connecting lead sources such as Meta lead forms to a CRM.
• Excellent written English, with the ability to write outreach a founder would want to reply to.
• A working understanding of Shopify, ecommerce and performance marketing.
• Organised, self-directed and motivated by measurable results.
• Experience with Shopify ecosystem partners or selling premium services is a plus.

Package

This is a fully remote contract role with a competitive monthly base plus commission on qualified opportunities and closed business. You'll work within UK business hours, with some flexibility to overlap with US client time zones when needed.

Agency

OENA® (OH-en-ah) is a creative growth partner for ambitious ecommerce brands, built at the intersection of technology and marketing and shaped by Japanese design and European refinement.

We run the full performance engine as one connected system — experience (Shopify and CRO), growth (paid media across Meta, Google Ads and TikTok), and retention (lifecycle on Klaviyo) — pairing deep channel expertise with AI-driven execution. The result is growth that compounds: more buyers, higher LTV, and brand equity that lasts.
