Description

• Knowledge Futures seeks an experienced and driven Director of Business Development to join its Partnerships Team. • As the organization's first DBD, you’ll play a vital role in establishing and realizing a robust sales pipeline. • Your ability to balance long-term strategy with short-term goals, as well as see and seek out potential opportunities proactively will be critical to helping Knowledge Futures align its infrastructure development with partner and market needs. • Lead in establishing our partnership sales funnel while playing a big role in informing our go-to-market strategy for PubPub Platform. • Identify new partners and opportunities, build relationships, create, price, and deliver proposals. • Collaborate with Ops to implement and optimize the partner development process.

Requirements

• You must be legally authorized to work in the United States to apply for this role. • We welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds with diverse skillsets. • If you have significant personal experience or engagement with low-income communities, international communities, or fields and languages that are underrepresented in academia, scholarly publishing, or open data, we strongly encourage you to apply. • This job description is intended to be a guidepost, not a checklist. • If you feel like you could do a great job in this role, even if you donʼt exactly meet every qualification, please consider applying.

Benefits

• Work 4 days per week with a thoughtfully distributed team. • Enjoy industry-standard perks: a minimum of 5 weeks off per year that we require you to actually use, best-in-class health benefits with generous company contributions, 401k with generous matching, your own computer of choice, a stipend for setting up your home office, and the ability to work 4 days per week, fully remote — with regular in-person team retreats as safety allows — with a team that prioritizes remote participation. • Contribute to our larger mission at Knowledge Futures to make information useful.
