About Us: At The Global Talent Co., we provide opportunities to work with leading innovative technology companies worldwide, offering stable employment, competitive compensation, career growth, and access to a community of 25k+ like-minded marketing professionals. Our mission is to bridge the gap between leading global tech companies and amazing global talent.

We believe everyone deserves equal access to opportunities, regardless of the country they are born in.

About the Company You'll Be Working With: Join a fast-growing, innovative pet wellness brand based in the United States that's redefining how they feed furry family members. With the backing of a major global food tech company, the organization combines the agility of a startup with the stability of an established enterprise. They're on a mission to reimagine pet food—one wholesome bowl at a time—by creating vet-developed recipes made from real, trusted ingredients. This is a dynamic workplace where creativity, purpose, and passion for pets come together.

About the Role: The company is seeking a driven and analytical Business Development Associate to join their growth marketing team. Reporting to the Senior Manager - Business Development, this role will lead the charge in scaling partnerships and offline acquisition channels. You'll collaborate with like-minded brands, craft creative campaigns, and support broader marketing initiatives—all while contributing to the success of one of the fastest-growing pet food brands in the U.S. This is a unique opportunity to take ownership, drive impact, and grow with a purpose-driven team.

Responsibilities:

  1. Identify, negotiate, and secure strategic customer acquisition partnerships with relevant pet and non-pet brands.
  2. Conceptualize and execute co-branded campaigns—from initial idea through to negotiation, design, and delivery.
  3. Conduct in-depth market research to uncover trends and partnership opportunities that align with growth goals.
  4. Manage reporting and analytics across partnerships and offline marketing initiatives, ensuring strong performance and ROI.
  5. Collaborate with internal teams (CRM, Operations, etc.) to integrate partnerships into the broader marketing ecosystem.
  6. Act as the main point of contact for partners, nurturing long-term relationships and ensuring mutual value.
  7. Coordinate with agencies and logistics partners to support the smooth execution of offline growth strategies.
  8. Develop KPIs, monitor campaign performance, and continually optimize strategies for better outcomes.

Requirements:

  1. 2–4 years of experience in business development, growth marketing, partnerships, or sales.
  2. Passionate about pets—you're a dog person through and through.
  3. Analytical thinker with the ability to craft clear, data-driven business cases.
  4. Strong communication skills with the ability to build and maintain professional relationships.
  5. Entrepreneurial mindset and creative problem-solver—bonus if you've launched a project or business of your own.
  6. Comfortable working in Excel and familiar with key marketing metrics like CAC and campaign ROI.
  7. Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Business, Economics, or a related field with a strong academic track record.
  8. Native English speaker.
  9. Ability to work aligned to EST business hours.
