We create new formats and stories, building a world where the only limit is human imagination. And now we’re looking for a Business Development Manager who’s ready to join us and help shape it together.

Your mission:

  • Own key partnerships end-to-end.

  • Lead negotiations independently and close deals.

  • Manage contracts, follow-ups, and deal status through to final signature.

  • Identify opportunities to scale and upsell within existing partnerships.

  • 2+ years in partnerships / bizdev / account management / consultative sales

  • Proven track record of closing deals with measurable outcomes

  • Strong negotiation skills with senior stakeholders and a high level of ownership

  • English: Upper-Intermediate or higher

  • Nice to have: experience with Tier-1 platforms (Meta/Google/TikTok/Apple) or mobile/product partnerships

What you’ll get with us:

  • Fast professional growth. We build an environment where learning is the norm: lectures, libraries, hackathons, and internal schools. We reimburse role-related courses and any language learning, including Ukrainian.

  • Work format of your choice. You can work from home, from our offices in Kyiv (Podil) or Lviv (generators, shelter, lunches, snacks — all inclusive), or from abroad — we have several offices there as well.

  • Equipment and services. Everything you need to do your job.

  • Time off. 20 vacation days + days off on official holidays and unlimited sick leave.

  • Well-being support. We reimburse sports, provide health insurance in Ukraine (after the probation period), access to a corporate doctor, and mental health support.

___________________________________________________________________________________

Why you’ll love working with us:

  • Real impact. Your decisions directly shape global products.

  • A living culture. No rigid frameworks — just a team that trusts each other, learns from one another, and isn’t afraid to ask questions or challenge ideas.

  • Autonomy. We trust the team’s judgment: minimal micromanagement, maximum room for initiative and ownership.

  • Strong people around you. We’re part of the Genesis ecosystem, so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to network, learn, and grow.

    Could this be your chance to become our next big name?
