Business Development Executive

The Role: Your Mission

We're looking for a "hunter" and a "connector." Your primary objective is to get our client's products into new hands, onto new shelves, and into new markets. You will be the driving force behind all partner-led growth, from digital and affiliate channels to traditional retail and international expansion.

This is a hands-on role for a self-starter who thrives on building relationships, negotiating deals, and seeing a direct impact from their work.

1. Digital Partnerships (Influencers & Affiliates)

• Identify, recruit, and onboard new, high-value affiliates and performance-based influencers to scale our client's reach.


• Manage and nurture the existing portfolio of influencers and partners, optimizing for performance and ROI.


• Negotiate commission structures, content deliverables, and long-term partnership agreements.

2. Retail & Offline Distribution

• Develop and execute a comprehensive retail distribution strategy from the ground up.


• Actively prospect, pitch, and secure listings with key retail buyers.


• Your target channels include (but are not limited to):
  
  Pharmacies & Health Stores: (e.g., CVS, Walgreens, Whole Foods, GNC, local independent pharmacies)
  
  Supermarkets & Grocers: (e.g., Kroger, Albertsons, regional chains)
  
  Convenience & On-the-Go: (e.g., 7-Eleven, Circle K, petrol station chains)
  
  Niche & Boutique: (e.g., Gyms, wellness centers, spas)

3. Strategic Brand Collaborations

• Source and secure strategic partnerships with complementary, non-competing brands (e.g., fitness apparel, healthy CPG, wellness apps, subscription boxes).


• Develop creative co-marketing campaigns, product bundles, and giveaway opportunities to cross-promote audiences and drive new customer acquisition.

4. International Expansion

• Research and identify promising new international markets for the supplement brand.


• Develop and execute market-entry strategies, including identifying and vetting potential overseas distributors, e-commerce partners, and retail channels.


• Manage relationships with international partners to ensure growth and brand integrity.

Required Experience & Skills:

• 
  Proven Experience: 3-5+ years in a Business Development, Sales, or Partnerships role.


• 
  Industry Relevance: Direct experience in the CPG (Consumer Packaged Goods), supplement, health/wellness, or FMCG industry is strongly preferred.


• 
  Retail Pitching: You must have demonstrable experience and success in pitching to retail buyers and securing shelf space. A pre-existing network of contacts in retail (pharmacy, grocery) is a massive plus.


• 
  Digital Savvy: Strong understanding of influencer and affiliate marketing ecosystems.


• 
  Master Negotiator: You are a confident and skilled negotiator who can close deals that are mutually beneficial.


• 
  Entrepreneurial Mindset: You are a self-starter, highly motivated, and thrive with autonomy. You see targets as a starting line, not a finish line.


• 
  Exceptional Communicator: You can craft a compelling pitch, build rapport quickly, and represent a brand with professionalism and passion.

Bonus Points:

• Experience with international distribution or cross-border e-commerce.


• A personal passion for the health, fitness, and wellness industry.

• 
  Direct Impact: This is not a cog-in-the-wheel role. You will be the primary driver of new revenue streams for a high-growth brand. Your wins are visible, celebrated, and critical.


• 
  Best of Both Worlds: Enjoy the fast-paced, creative culture of a media agency while operating as a key executive for a high-potential supplement brand.


• 
  Autonomy: We trust you to own your pipeline, manage your strategy, and get the job done.


• 
  Growth: This role offers significant opportunities for professional and financial growth, tied directly to your success.
