Partnerships Manager

Einblick in das Angebot

Join BIA as Partnerships Manager (m/f/d)
Some of the most compelling questions in business today — how organizations transform, how leaders grow, how AI reshapes the way people work — are the ones we tackle every day.
We’re BIA, a Berlin-based boutique group. A lean team of 10 working with fast-paced clients across Europe: GetYourGuide, LiveEO, Novo Nordisk, Roland Berger, the City of Berlin, and a growing ecosystem of scale-ups, multinationals and institutions.
We operate across three units:
BIA – AI and change programs for large organizations

HelloCircle – Leadership development for scale-ups and multinationals

Startup Hub – Publicly-funded startup programs

Independent and deliberately self-funded, built on product quality and client relationships.
We’re looking for a strategic Partnerships Manager to build the partnerships that grow both our brand and our business.

Tasks
This is a strategic role with a hands-on core. You’ll design and build our partnership model: raising our profile through brand partnerships and high-value events, and opening new business through multiplier partners and directly with the organizations we serve. You report directly to the founder and work closely with our Programs Director and the wider team.
Develop our partnership model: define how we work with investors, consulting firms, innovation hubs, and agencies, and what a strong partnership looks like for each

Secure high-impact brand partnerships with leading AI and tech companies that strengthen our position at the forefront of AI and transformation

Create and produce high-value events with our partners, from concept and curation to delivery, that bring together senior leaders, technology, and ideas

Build a network of multiplier partners who open doors to new clients and audiences

Drive direct business with large organizations for BIA and with scale-ups for HelloCircle

Lead negotiations and own partner relationships at senior level

Measure the impact of our partnerships on brand and revenue, and refine the model as we grow

Requirements
You’re a strategic, commercially minded partnership builder with a sense for brand, who opens doors at senior level and turns them into lasting partnerships.
3–6 years in partnerships, business development, or brand partnerships, ideally at a tech company, agency, consultancy, or in the innovation and venture space
