Were seeking a Business Development Manager, Strategic Alliances responsible for creating and scaling transformative partnerships that go far beyond transactional sales. These alliances will unlock multi-year revenue streams, new distribution channels, and mutual enterprise value between Justworks and our partners.
This is not a traditional Account Executive role its a strategic position for a dealmaker and relationship builder who can create alignment with Fortune 1000 companies, navigate complex, consensus-driven sales cycles, and drive partnerships that move the needle for both organizations. Typical engagements will involve long-term, multi-stakeholder cycles (9+ months) that require persistence, credibility, and strategic influence.
Youll collaborate closely with Product, Marketing, Legal, and other cross-functional teams to transform ideas into scalable business outcomes. From identifying new alliance opportunities to bringing them to market, you will shape how Justworks expands its reach and drives sustainable growth through partnerships that deliver value to small and midsize businesses nationwide.
You are a strategic, relationship-driven business development professional who thrives at the intersection of innovation and execution. You bring a strategic mindset, thinking big and long-term while recognizing real-world limitations and pragmatic constraints. You understand how to build partnerships that scale balancing vision with operational reality.
The Strategic Alliances team at Justworks focuses on expanding our customer footprint by partnering with Fortune 1000 companies to mutually serve the SMB segment. In this role, you will be responsible for sourcing, structuring, and launching new partnerships that accelerate top-line growth. This includes identifying enterprises with overlapping customer segments, co-developing go-to-market strategies, fostering executive relationships, influencing internal stakeholders, and negotiating high-impact contracts.
Partnerships at scale are a new muscle for Justworks. Youll proactively engage with potential partners to uncover their needs, co-create value propositions, and ensure cross-functional alignment across internal teams from Product to Marketing to Legal to deliver results for all stakeholders.
You set the standard for collaboration, with a proven ability to work effectively across functions and levels. Youre as comfortable rolling up your sleeves to build a pipeline as you are cultivating executive relationships at the enterprise level.
This is a hybrid role based in our New York City office, requiring in-office presence two days per week when not traveling to visit prospective partners.
Actual compensation is based on multiple factors that are unique to each candidate, including and not limited to skill set, level of relevant experience, and specific work location. Salary ranges for positions based in other locations may differ based on the cost of labor in that location.
