About the role
We are hiring two Business Development Managers to build ZYMIX's commercial partnerships alongside our Head of Partnership. You will report directly to the Head of Partnership and help shape how the BD function grows.
Your core goal is user acquisition through partnerships. You will find, close and activate partners who put ZYMIX in front of Gen Z users in the UK. This is a hands-on role with real ownership: you run deals from first message to live campaign.
- Source, pitch and close partnerships with consumer brands, local merchants, creator agencies, event organisers and student societies.
- Own your pipeline end to end: prospecting, outreach, negotiation, contracting and partner onboarding.
- Design value-exchange and co-branded campaigns around key moments such as Halloween, Christmas and New Year.
- Plan and run partner activations on the ground, from city-wide check-in campaigns to events and community meetups.
- Work with Product, Marketing and Operations to get partner offers, rewards and content live in the app.
- Track pipeline and partnership KPIs, and report progress to the Head of Partnership every week.
- Build commercial decks, proposals and partnership one-pagers tailored to each partner.
- Represent ZYMIX at industry events, campus events and partner meetings across London and the UK.
- Keep track of market trends and competitor moves, and bring new partnership ideas to the team.
About you
- Fluency in written and spoken Mandarin.
- 2-4 years of experience in business development, partnerships or sales, ideally in consumer tech, social media, fintech or youth-focused brands.
- A track record of closing partnerships, with deals you can walk us through.
- Confident negotiating terms and managing partners from first call to launch.
- Organised and data-minded: you keep a clean pipeline and know your numbers.
- Comfortable in a fast-moving start-up with high ownership and changing priorities.
- Based in London and able to work on-site and attend partner meetings and events.
Nice to Have
- An existing network among London brands, local merchants, creator agencies or student unions.
- Experience with creator or KOL partnerships, MCNs or influencer platforms.
- Experience in local life, F&B, retail rewards or event partnerships.
- Exposure to payments, wallets or fintech partnerships.
