Gopuff is the go-to solution for immediate everyday needs, fulfilling customer orders of cleaning and home products to over-the-counter medications, food and drinks, and in some markets, alcohol - in just minutes. The company is at a pivotal point in its development and plans to hire a Business Development Manager to manage its partnerships including payments & financial services, growth, and driver partnerships.

About The Team

The Business Development team at Gopuff is responsible for driving meaningful growth to Gopuff’s business through strategic partnerships. We’re a nimble team of owners that get to spearhead some of the highest-leverage projects at Gopuff, working closely with external partners and our internal cross-functional counterparts.

About The Role

We are looking for a Business Development manager. This person will be responsible for owning the whole deal cycle, starting from strategy and scoping through negotiation, signing, and post-deal support (partnering with necessary cross functional teams like product, tech, marketing, and communications). Example deals might include adding new payment methods to Gopuff, developing co-marketing campaigns to drive growth, or providing discounts for our driver partners.

The role can be located in Philadelphia, Miami, New York, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Washington DC and reports directly to the Sr. Director of Business Development.

• Interface regularly with senior leadership – internally and externally – regarding plans and ongoing performance.
• Act as the primary deal lead for partnerships. You’ll be responsible for setting strategy, generating new deals, owning external relationships, and leading negotiations – many of them first-of-their kind.
• Collaborate with our Product, Engineering, Marketing, Finance, and Operations teams throughout the deal process – to align on strategy/vision, and to ensure deals are not just signed but successfully launched and executed.

Preferred Qualifications:

• You have demonstrated the ability to set strategy and execute in a unique and fast-moving environment. Many of these deals will be first-of-their-kind and will require creativity, thought leadership, and the ability to create templates for ongoing use.
• You have excellent verbal/written communication and are effective at delivering executive-level presentations
• You are well-versed in the payments and financial services and have established senior-level industry contacts.
• You have 6+ years of experience in business development or a similar partner facing role.
