Business Development Manager
Job Description
Job Title: Business Development (BD) Manager (Founding Role) – Holen Hub Corp
WOC – Woman Owned Company
About the Role:
We are looking for a Solo Business Development (BD) Manager to take full ownership of Holen’s growth partnerships and revenue expansion. Our app is live on both the Apple App Store and Google Play. We need a professional who can handle the entire lifecycle of business development: partnerships, strategy, execution, and ongoing relationship management.
This is a hybrid role; while much of the work can be done remotely, you must be able to come into the office periodically for strategy sessions and partner reviews. This is a non-negotiable requirement.
Holen owns the first return mile going back to the retailer. While the delivery giants focus on the forward journey, we dominate the return. We’ve built the platform that lets customers “skip the errand” by picking up online returns at their door and handling the entire logistics chain back to the merchant. We are one month into our first year with a live App on iOS and Google Play, and we are looking for a business partner to scale this into a global “Unicorn” we are projected to become.
The Standards:
We are not looking for a “sales rep” who just follows scripts. We need a Business Development Manager who understands product, brand, and long-term value creation.
Brand Alignment: You must understand and protect the Holen brand. Every partnership must align with our positioning, pricing discipline, and premium standards.
Precision: Zero tolerance for sloppy outreach, unclear proposals, or poorly structured partnerships. You own the quality of every deal you touch.
Ownership: You will manage partner pipelines, negotiations, onboarding, and long-term performance.
Professionalism: You will work within our company infrastructure, using official company emails and tools—no personal accounts.
Business Development Requirements:
Proven experience developing and closing partnerships for consumer-facing or logistics-enabled platforms
Strong understanding of marketplaces, last-mile or reverse-logistics ecosystems
Ability to manage the “business side” of partnerships (contracts, economics, rollout plans, and performance tracking)
Comfortable operating as a solo BD owner in a founding-stage company
Requirements:
Proven experience launching and scaling partnerships
A strategy-first mindset with execution discipline
Extreme attention to detail. If a deal is unclear or misaligned, it’s on you.
How to Apply:
Please send your portfolio and a brief summary of partnerships you’ve built and scaled.
NOTE: To prove you have the attention to detail we require, please start your application with the word “HOLEN” in all caps. If you don't, your application will be ignored.
The Equity & Valuation
We are currently one month into our first year and are looking for a high-level professional who wants to earn a founder-level stake. We are paying with shares in a company that has been professionally valued with an aggressive growth trajectory: reaching a $1.48M valuation by the end of Year 1, scaling to $268.95M by Year 4, and projected to hit a $1.05B “Unicorn” valuation by Year 8.
This is a ground-floor opportunity for someone who wants to own a piece of a billion-dollar company rather than just collecting a paycheck. We aren't looking for the right person; we are looking for a long-term partner to share in this massive financial upside.
Founder-Level Equity: This role is compensated with shares in Holen Hub LLC.
Massive Upside: You will be joining at the start of our Year 1 valuation of $1.48M, with a clear, projected path to a $1.05B valuation.
The Hybrid Requirement (Repeated Again)
Non-Negotiable Location: This is a hybrid role. While you have flexibility, you must be able to come into the office for strategy and partner reviews. This is a requirement for anyone taking a founder-level stake in the company.
Job Type: Part-time
Pay: $70,071.45 - $80,071.45 per year
Expected hours: 30 per week
Work Location: Hybrid remote in New York, NY 10019
