Summary（岗位介绍）
The Meta Reality Labs Partnerships team is seeking a talented, highly motivated and experienced individual to help drive new product relationships for an emerging technology and product space in our AR/VR business group. You'll be at the centre of a multi-disciplinary, cross-functional team pushing on every aspect of bringing new products to market: technology, hardware, software, marketing and brand, GTM, and distribution. The Business Development Manager will be an important piece to maintaining long-standing relationships with some of our top partners. If you possess strong relationship-building skills and enjoy working cross-functionally to bring to life (and launch) our key initiatives and products, this role is worth leaning into.
The Business Development Manager will drive the partnerships from deal close through product launches, managing the relationships, and growing, measuring and optimising partnership success with a specific focus in the Italy region. More importantly, you will identify ways to grow the partnership after the initial deal close, whereby both the partner and the Meta team will benefit and thrive. You will be knowledgeable about new hardware, platforms and content and enjoy working with product teams. You will dive deep to understand product details and work as an extension of the product partnerships teams. Additionally, you will have experience working with multiple partners and be comfortable in a start-up type of environment.
This role will report directly to the Director of AR Device Partnerships. The ideal candidate will be a self-starter who is comfortable in a rapidly changing environment and takes a proactive and strategic approach to partner management. You will have the ability to bridge short term goals with longer term strategy and be able to create and execute a well-ordered framework of action with little to no direction.
