About the Company You’ll Be Working With:

Join a fast-growing, innovative pet wellness brand based in the United States that’s redefining how they feed furry family members. With the backing of a major global food tech company, the organisation combines the agility of a startup with the stability of an established enterprise. They’re on a mission to reimagine pet food—one wholesome bowl at a time—by creating vet-developed recipes made from real, trusted ingredients. This is a dynamic workplace where creativity, purpose, and passion for pets come together.

About the Role

The company is seeking a proactive, organised, and creative Business Development Associate to join their tight-knit growth marketing team. This role reports directly to the Senior Manager - Business Development and will take full ownership of the Partnerships channel—one of the key offline customer acquisition drivers. You’ll connect with like-minded brands, drive mutually beneficial collaborations, and support logistics and execution of broader offline marketing strategies. This is a highly visible, outward-facing role ideal for someone who thrives on relationship-building, has strong communication skills, and wants to make a measurable impact in a fast-growing business.

Responsibilities:

  • Take full ownership of the partnerships channel: identify, negotiate, and manage strategic collaborations with pet and lifestyle brands.

  • Build and maintain a robust lead list and drive partner acquisition through creative outreach and brand engagement.

  • Coordinate with internal teams (design, ops, CRM, marketing) to ensure seamless execution of partnership campaigns.

  • Manage ongoing communication with partners and serve as the main point of contact, representing the company externally.

  • Track and analyse campaign results; recommend improvements to maximise ROI and customer acquisition impact.

  • Support the Senior Manager on offline growth channels such as direct sales activations and event-based marketing efforts.

  • Assist with creative tasks, logistics, and administrative support across the broader offline marketing portfolio.

Requirements:

  • 2–4 years of relevant experience in business development, partnerships, marketing, or sales.

  • Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Business, Economics, or a related field with strong academic performance.

  • Native or fluent English speaker required due to the U.S.-based partner market.

  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills—this is a highly outward-facing role requiring confidence and professionalism.

  • Comfortable using Excel/Google Sheets and familiar with core marketing performance metrics such as CAC and ROI.

  • Strong organisational and project management abilities; comfortable handling multiple moving parts across teams and partners.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to take initiative, solve problems creatively, and work autonomously.

  • Passion for pets and an interest in working for a mission-driven brand in the pet wellness space.

  • Ability to work with U.S. time zones; must have 75% overlap with EST business hours (9 AM–5 PM EST).

At The Global Talent Co., our mission is to bridge the gap between leading global tech companies and amazing global talent. We believe everyone deserves equal access to opportunities, regardless of the country they are born in.

What started as a vision to support tech companies in need of affordable and skilled marketing talent has evolved into The Global Talent Co., a pioneering recruitment agency focused on remote staffing solutions. Founded by entrepreneurial spirits Roman Kirsch and Brett Stapper, the company was birthed from the realization that many US and EU tech companies were struggling to find capable marketing professionals without incurring exorbitant costs. The Global Talent Co. quickly established its mission: to provide exclusive access to the top 5% of marketing professionals from South Africa, a country rich in talent and cultural compatibility with Western markets.

Our process is meticulously crafted to ensure quality and efficiency. We thoughtfully vet candidates through a rigorous selection process that includes skills-based assessments and interviews. This guarantees that only the most capable marketers, who not only have the right experience but are also fluent in English and aware of market dynamics, join our talent pool. As a result, we deliver high-caliber professionals to our clients in the tech industry who can seamlessly integrate into their teams and bolster their marketing efforts.
