# business development & strategic partnerships - d2c

**CRED** · bengaluru

Apply: https://jobs.lever.co/cred/a65bef0e-0f4c-40af-b662-9313f255189e

## About CRED

financial & lifestyle experiences crafted for the creditworthy.

## About the role

help shape **CRED’s d2c ecosystem** by partnering with India’s most exciting consumer brands and turning those relationships into meaningful member value and business growth.

you’ll work at the intersection of **d2c****, consumer growth, payments, rewards and product** - bringing relevant brands and differentiated constructs to CRED members, while helping d2c businesses acquire customers, drive growth and build deeper engagement.

this is a role for someone who can **spot opportunities, build relationships, sell, and turn ideas into high-impact partnerships**.

##### what you’ll own

-

##### build and own the d2c pipeline - identify the right brands, founders and opportunities, and drive partnerships from first conversation to revenue realisation.

-

##### carry a revenue quota and relentlessly deliver against it through new business, monetisation and partner growth.

-

##### build deep relationships with d2c founders, cxos, growth leaders and the vc ecosystem backing the category.

-

##### create differentiated partnerships that drive brand growth, customer acquisition, retention and engagement.

-

##### bring the best d2c brands and propositions to CRED members through rewards, offers, experiences and privileges.

-

##### drive adoption of CRED payment instruments across high-quality d2c brands.

-

##### look beyond standard partnerships - identify strategic, product, payment, data and growth-led opportunities that can create outsized value for both CRED and the brand.

-

##### work cross-functionally with product, growth, marketing, analytics and operations to turn ideas into live, scaled partnerships.

-

##### own execution end-to-end - zero hand-holding, high velocity, and a strong bias for getting things done.

##### What we’re looking for

##### This is not a relationship-management role. It is a builder + seller role for someone who wants to shape CRED’s d2c ecosystem.

-

##### 4+ years in quota-carrying sales, business development, partnerships or key account roles within d2c, consumer internet, ecommerce, fintech or high-growth startups.

-

##### strong existing network across d2c founders, cxos, growth/marketing leaders and consumer brands.

-

##### deep understanding of the Indian d2c ecosystem and curiosity about emerging brands, categories and trends.

-

##### proven track record of closing deals and delivering commercial outcomes.

-

##### strong commercial and strategic thinking - able to look at a brand and quickly identify “what could we build together?”

-

##### high-energy, extremely driven and razor-sharp on execution.

-

##### excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence to sell to founders and senior leadership.

-

##### comfortable operating in ambiguity, building from scratch and owning outcomes end-to-end.
