Business Development Manager (m/f/d)- Partnership & Growth (Mid-Level)

Big thinking. Serious doing.

Trinsik is an international business creation studio for organisations that want to move decisively into what's next. We uncover new opportunities, define what it takes to make them work, and build the businesses that bring them to life — with clarity, rigour and executional precision. In complex markets, under real constraints, and at pace.

We don't run workshops or sell frameworks. We build real businesses, end-to-end — using venture building, innovation management and rapid prototyping to get from opportunity to working business, fast. Someone needs to make them grow. That's where you come in.

As a Business Development Manager – Partnerships & Growth at Trinsik, you drive partner acquisition for a global leading digital loyalty platform. Your core mission is targeting, reaching out to, and securing high-value brands to bring valuable offers into our loyalty ecosystem.

You manage the outreach pipeline end-to-end — from initial contact to signed partnership — and are measured on conversion. Our job is to build groundbreaking rewards platforms. Your job is to bring top-tier brand partners on board.

What You'll Do

• Own B2B partner and customer acquisition end-to-end for client projects — from target identification to closed deal
• Understand the value proposition of new or existing products fast, and translate it into sharp, conversion-focused outreach
• Build and manage the pipeline: prospecting, outreach sequencing, follow-up, qualification and closing
• Track, report and optimize the funnel — response rates, conversion, pipeline health — and react to the data
• Represent our clients' ventures and brands credibly to partners and decision-makers, often at senior level
• Test, learn and iterate on messaging, channels and targeting to lift conversion

• A proven track record in (B2B) outreach, business development, sales or partnerships — you've built pipeline and closed deals
• The ability to understand a new offering fast and articulate its value convincingly
• A sales-, conversion- and success-driven mindset: you measure yourself on outcomes, not activity
• End-to-end ownership: comfortable running the full acquisition process independently, with structure and discipline

• A growth mindset: curious, self-driven, and comfortable being challenged
