Local Business Development Manager
Posted Updated
Description
- NewsBreak is looking for a Local Business Development Manager to acquire local advertising budgets at scale
- This hire will leverage NewsBreak’s local mission to establish a repeatable partnership pipeline in the local / home-services category
- This is a foundation-building role tied to NewsBreak’s long-term strategic focus on local to break through and improve local ad density in a way that fits the user experience
- Scaled Acquisition: Acquire local ad budgets at scale by building and closing one-to-many partnerships (partner networks, marketplaces, referral/affiliate-style deals)
- Full-Cycle Ownership: Own the full partnership lifecycle: prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and onboarding one-to-many partners that bring local advertiser demand onto the NewsBreak platform
- Category Leadership: Serve as NewsBreak’s direct BD presence in the local / home-services category, reducing dependency on agency relationships NewsBreak doesn’t directly manage
- Cross-Functional Support: Partner with Product, Account Management, and Marketing to ensure new partnerships are supported post-launch and retained
- Reporting: Track and report on partnership pipeline, signed deals, and resulting local ad spend / ad density metrics
Benefits
- Work from home opportunities
- Paid time off and paid holidays
- Paid parental leave
- FSA and commuter benefit programs
- Team activity budget
- Top-tier 401(K) plan with company matching
- Health, dental, and vision care for you and your family
- 4+ years of business development, partnerships, or channel-sales experience, ideally with a track record building one-to-many or affiliate-style partnerships (not solely single-advertiser sales)
- Experience in, or strong familiarity with, the local / home-services advertising ecosystem
- Experience at a self-service advertising platform, DSP, or ad network
- Demonstrated ability to source, negotiate, and close scaled partnership agreements
- Comfortable working against a longer-term, foundation-building mandate rather than a purely short-term revenue quota
- Existing relationships within the home-services, local-lead-gen, or local-marketplace space
