Position Overview: We’re hiring a motivated and results-oriented Business Development & Global Partnerships Associate to join our growing team in Vietnam. In this role, you'll be instrumental in supporting our global expansion by identifying, reaching out to, and managing initial conversations with potential IP partners—including publishers, content studios, and original creators. You’ll work closely with the CEOs of the company to build our sales pipeline, book key meetings, and help facilitate the progression of new partner pilots. You’ll also be encouraged to discover and use the latest tools—especially AI-powered ones—to optimize outreach, lead generation, and relationship-building.
In addition to outreach and partnerships, we’re looking for someone who can build scalable, tech-powered business development systems. This includes designing and deploying AI agents, experimenting with automation tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Zapier, Apollo, Notion AI, LinkedIn AI), and implementing repeatable processes that improve lead generation, outreach personalization, and sales tracking. You should be excited to blend creativity and technology to scale what one person can do into the work of many.
