Director, Business Development

Join ShopMy – Powering the Future of Digital Marketing ShopMy is revolutionizing the future of e-commerce by building the infrastructure for human-led curation at scale. ShopMy enables brands to launch and scale high-impact, performance-driven creator programs, while empowering the most influential creators to monetize their influence and partner directly with the brands they love. Through this operating system, ShopMy powers consumers to discover and buy the world's best products through premium brands, culture-driving tastemakers, and authentic human curation. ShopMy recently became a unicorn, raising at a $1.5B valuation with backing from Bessemer Venture Partners, Avenir Growth Capital, and Bain Capital Ventures. If you’re excited to help shape the future of curated commerce at the intersection of technology, culture, and taste, we’d love to meet you. About the Role: ShopMy is building the most powerful network in creator-led commerce — connecting the world's most influential tastemakers, brands, and operators into a single ecosystem. We are seeking a Director of Business Development to expand and operationalize this network. Reporting directly to the Chief Business Development Officer, this role is responsible for architecting and scaling ShopMy's business development engine — from top-of-funnel acquisition to high-signal partnerships and strategic investor expansion. You will operate at the intersection of creator, brand, and capital, driving the relationships that define ShopMy's category leadership and long-term enterprise value.

Optimize ShopMy's Connector Program: Own and scale ShopMy's Connector Program — a curated network of high-value external partners who actively introduce and unlock relationships across our ecosystem. Leverage this network to drive measurable outputs (qualified intros, conversions, GMV impact) and recruit and activate connectors across new verticals, geographies, and cultural pockets. Execute High-Signal Partnerships + Activations: Identify, negotiate, and close flagship partnerships, celebrity deals, and major activations that elevate ShopMy's brand, reinforce its cultural authority, and generate outsized inbound demand. Partner Cross-Functionally: Work closely with Creator Growth, Brand Growth, Marketing, and Strategy Ops to ensure BD efforts translate into activation, revenue, and long-term value. You Are Energized By: Building from (near) zero — you see a blank canvas as an opportunity, not a liability Opening doors others can't — you have a network and know how to use it with precision The thrill of a high-stakes deal — you are energized by complex negotiations and long-game relationship building Operating at the intersection of culture, commerce, and capital Turning ambiguous opportunity into structured pipelines and repeatable systems Working with founders, investors, creators, and cultural tastemakers — and knowing how to speak each of t ...
