About Acumen Agency

Acumen Agency is a global full-spectrum professional services company serving governments, corporations, SMEs, startups, nonprofits, and individuals across international markets.

We are building a global network of brands, companies, organizations, creators, media platforms, and strategic partners and are seeking an experienced professional to develop and monetize brand partnerships .

The Opportunity

We are looking for someone who is exceptionally good at building commercial brand partnerships and, most importantly, knows how to turn those relationships into revenue.

You should understand how to identify mutually beneficial opportunities, approach brands, structure partnership proposals, negotiate agreements, and create partnerships that generate measurable commercial results.

There is no single model for this role. Partnerships could involve advertising, sponsorships, co-branding, referrals, affiliate arrangements, joint ventures, promotional campaigns, events, media partnerships, product collaborations, client acquisition, or other revenue-generating opportunities.

The key requirement is the ability to find creative ways to monetize relationships and partnerships.

Responsibilities

• Identify and develop strategic brand partnership opportunities.
• Build relationships with companies, brands, organizations, media platforms, creators, and other potential partners.
• Develop partnership proposals and commercial opportunities.
• Negotiate sponsorships, advertising, co-branding, referrals, affiliate arrangements, joint ventures, and other agreements.
• Identify opportunities where Acumen Agency and another brand can mutually benefit.
• Develop partnerships that generate leads, clients, sales, sponsorship revenue, advertising revenue, or other measurable financial results.
• Create new partnership and monetization models.
• Leverage Acumen Agency's services, media, content, education, technology, events, and international network to create commercial partnerships.
• Develop long-term strategic relationships rather than one-time transactions.
• Track partnership performance, revenue, leads, contracts, and return on investment.
• Continuously identify new industries, brands, markets, and partnership opportunities.
• Work independently to build a partnership pipeline and generate measurable results.

Qualifications

• Proven experience developing brand partnerships, strategic partnerships, sponsorships, business development, or commercial relationships .
• Demonstrated ability to monetize partnerships and generate revenue.
• Strong network of brands, businesses, organizations, media companies, creators, or other commercial contacts is highly valuable.
• Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills.
• Creative and entrepreneurial approach to partnership development.
• Understanding of sponsorships, advertising, affiliate marketing, co-branding, referrals, joint ventures, or similar commercial models.
• Strong sales and business-development abilities.
• Ability to identify opportunities and independently turn them into commercial agreements.
• A proven portfolio of successful partnerships and measurable results is strongly preferred.

Compensation & Career Opportunity

This is a performance-based opportunity , with compensation tied to measurable results including partnerships developed, agreements secured, leads generated, contracts, sales, sponsorships, and revenue generated.

Successful candidates may transition into a full-time salaried position with opportunities for management, international leadership, and expanded responsibility as Acumen Agency's partnership network grows.

If you know how to build relationships and, more importantly, turn those relationships into revenue, we want to hear from you.
