About Business Development & Partnerships jobs

Business development jobs cover the people who build strategic partnerships, source non-traditional revenue, and unlock growth that direct sales can't reach alone. The titles span business development representative (BDR / business development rep, sometimes overlapping with SDR but typically for partnership and channel pipelines), partnerships manager, alliance manager, channel partnerships, strategic partnerships director, corporate development (M&A / mergers and acquisitions and investments), and senior leadership (head of biz dev, VP Business Development, chief business officer). The work mixes deal sourcing, partner relationship management, contract negotiation, and cross-functional partnership with sales, product, marketing, and legal.

Postings here come from the same multi-source feed: broad aggregators, federal feeds, remote-only listings, and tech-heavy boards. The full list refreshes once a day. You'll see partnerships roles at SaaS / software-as-a-service companies, alliance manager positions at large enterprises, corporate development roles at growth-stage and public companies, biz dev representative roles at tech companies building channel pipelines, and biz dev leadership at marketplaces and platform companies.

Signed in? The list is re-ranked against your values assessment, so the roles at the top are the ones that line up with what actually matters to you: comp, the kind of partnerships work, industry, stage of company, the team. The scoring math is the same for everyone; the weighting is yours.

What does a business development job pay?

Pay scales with company stage and the nature of the partnerships. BDR entry roles: $60-90k OTE / on-target earnings (similar to SDR roles, base plus variable tied to qualified-meeting volume). Partnership manager: $100-150k base plus commission and bonus ($150-220k OTE common). Strategic partnerships director: $180-280k OTE. Head of partnerships at growth-stage SaaS: $250-400k+ with equity. Corporate development analyst and senior associate: $100-180k OTE for non-banker hires, much higher for ex-banker hires moving into corporate dev. VP corporate development: $300-500k+ at growth-stage; significantly higher at large public companies with active M&A programs. Channel partnerships at large enterprise software vendors: senior channel directors clear $250-400k+ tied to channel-attributed revenue. The variable comp component (commission, MBO / management by objectives bonus, channel attribution) varies significantly across roles; ask in screening.

Are business development jobs hiring remote?

Mostly yes, especially for partnerships and alliance roles. The work runs heavily on calls, video meetings, partner Slack channels, and shared deal pipelines in CRM / customer relationship management systems. Corporate development roles at growth-stage companies often run remote; corporate development at large enterprises sometimes requires hybrid presence for board prep and exec partnership. Channel partnerships involves partner travel during major events and partner summits but is otherwise remote-friendly. BDR roles at SaaS companies run heavily remote following the sales-org pattern. Federal partnerships and government channel roles trend hybrid or on-site. The remote toggle on this page filters to listings tagged remote-only or remote-first.

Entry-level vs senior business development roles

Entry-level biz dev splits into two distinct paths. Path 1: BDR roles at SaaS companies, mirroring the SDR pipeline but oriented toward partner outreach rather than direct prospect outreach. Path 2: corporate development analyst roles at growth-stage and large companies, typically hiring ex-bankers or ex-consultants with strong financial modeling skills. Mid-career biz dev (partnerships manager, alliance manager, senior associate corp dev) splits by function and is genuinely competitive. The senior end is competitive and political: head of partnerships and VP biz dev roles often hire externally only when internal candidates aren't ready, because partnership leadership requires deep institutional knowledge and external relationship capital. Calibrating senior level from a listing: deal size or partner-influenced revenue, scope (a single function vs. cross-functional vs. corporate dev), team management, and reporting line (do you report to a CRO / chief revenue officer, CEO, or chief business officer).

How to compare two business development offers

Biz dev offers split on dimensions the title doesn't capture. Pin down: the specific function (partnerships vs. alliances vs. channel vs. corp dev, each is a distinct discipline), the company's actual commitment to the function (is biz dev empowered with budget and exec sponsorship, or treated as a service to sales?), the deal types you'd work on (large strategic vs. high-volume tactical), the comp structure (base/variable mix, attribution mechanics, payout cadence), and the leadership chain (reporting to a CRO is different from reporting to a CEO or chief business officer). WorkWomp's offer comparison handles this kind of multi-variable decision. Save both offers, run the 5-minute values assessment so the scoring weights what actually matters to you, drop in interview notes (the function, the deal types, leadership exposure), and the breakdown shows which offer wins where.

Common questions

  • What's the difference between sales, business development, and partnerships?

    Different functions with overlapping skill bases. Sales owns direct revenue: prospecting buyers, running the sales process, closing contracts, hitting quota. Business development owns indirect revenue through partnerships: identifying partners, structuring deals, managing partner relationships, unlocking revenue that pure sales can't access alone. Partnerships is often used interchangeably with biz dev at smaller companies; at larger companies partnerships sits inside biz dev as a specific function (channel partnerships, alliance partnerships, technology integrations). Corporate development is the deepest end of the biz dev family: M&A, joint ventures, strategic investments. Pay tracks complexity: sales pays well at quota, partnerships pays more at senior levels because the leverage is higher, corporate development pays the highest in the family because the deals move significant value.

  • Do business development jobs require an MBA?

    Depends on the function. Corporate development hires heavily from MBA / master of business administration and ex-investment-banking pipelines; the MBA is treated as table stakes at large corporate dev teams. Partnerships and channel roles rarely require an MBA. Hiring focuses on relationship-building skill, business acumen, and demonstrated deal experience. BDR and entry partnership roles don't require an MBA at all. The signal an MBA provides at senior biz dev levels: structured strategic thinking, exposure to deal mechanics, financial fluency. Plenty of senior biz dev leaders built careers without one; the path is more varied than in pure corp dev.

  • How do I move into partnerships from sales?

    Common transition. The skills overlap significantly: customer relationships, deal mechanics, comfort with quota-style metrics, and revenue accountability. The transition typically goes through one of two paths. Path 1: internal move from AE / account executive to partnerships manager at the same company once you've shown interest and built credibility with the biz dev team. Path 2: external move from senior AE to partnership manager at a different company that hires from sales for partnerships roles. The pitch in interviews: examples of complex multi-stakeholder deals you've closed, evidence you can think about indirect revenue and ecosystem leverage, and a coherent reason you prefer partnership work to pure sales. The trade-offs to expect: longer deal cycles, more cross-functional partnership inside the company, less individual quota pressure but more political dynamics.

  • What's corporate development and why does it pay so much?

    Corporate development (corp dev) owns M&A, joint ventures, and strategic investments at large companies. The function evaluates acquisition targets, negotiates deal terms, manages due diligence, and integrates acquired companies post-close. The pay reflects the rarity of the skill stack and the deal economics: someone who can identify the right target, structure a $500M deal, and integrate it successfully creates substantial enterprise value. Corp dev typically hires from investment banking (Goldman, Morgan Stanley, boutique M&A firms) and top consulting firms (McKinsey, Bain, BCG / Boston Consulting Group). Direct-entry from MBA programs is common at large tech and pharma companies with active corp dev programs. Pay at senior levels regularly equals or exceeds investment banking comp without the brutal hours.

  • Is AI changing business development jobs?

    Yes, but more on the analyst side than the relationship side. AI tools are absorbing partner research, deal-pipeline analytics, contract first-drafts, and competitive intelligence research. The roles being squeezed: junior BDRs doing high-volume partner outreach, corp dev analysts doing repetitive deal screening, partnership operations roles doing CRM hygiene. The roles holding or growing: senior partnership managers whose value is deep relationships and complex deal structuring, corporate development directors who lead negotiations and integrations, head of biz dev whose work is strategy and exec partnership. The honest framing: if your biz dev work is mostly research and outreach volume, AI is competing for your seat. If your work involves judgment about which partners actually matter and how to structure complex deals, you're fine.
