• 6+ years' experience across business development, strategic partnerships, product partnerships or a closely related technology field.
• Demonstrable experience personally structuring and negotiating complex strategic deals.
• Strong track record of working on bespoke, zero-to-one partnerships rather than solely selling established products or services.
• Experience dealing with major technology platforms, consumer technology companies or similarly complex organisations.
• Strong understanding of how large technology companies operate, including the interaction between commercial partnerships, products and technical infrastructure.
• Experience partnering closely with Product and Engineering, alongside Legal, Operations, Compliance, Finance and Marketing.
• Ability to operate effectively in highly ambiguous environments and create structure where no established approach exists.
• Strong stakeholder management, communication, negotiation and consensus-building capabilities.
• Knowledge of consumer technology, digital platforms, social media, entertainment or product integrations would be valuable. Next steps to apply: Apply now or email your CV to rory@principlehr.com for immediate review.
