Big thinking. Serious doing.

Trinsik is an international business creation studio for organisations that want to move decisively into what's next.

In complex markets, under real constraints, and at pace.

We don't run workshops or sell frameworks. We build real businesses, end-to-end — using venture building, innovation management and rapid prototyping to get from opportunity to working business, fast. Someone needs to make them grow. That's where you come in.

Tasks

As a Business Development Manager – Partnerships & Growth at Trinsik, you drive partner acquisition for a global leading digital loyalty platform. Your core mission is targeting, reaching out to, and securing high-value brands to bring valuable offers into our loyalty ecosystem.

You manage the outreach pipeline end-to-end — from initial contact to signed partnership — and are measured on conversion. Our job is to build groundbreaking rewards platforms. Your job is to bring top-tier brand partners on board.

What You'll Do

• Own B2B partner and customer acquisition end-to-end for client projects — from target identification to closed deal
• Understand the value proposition of new or existing products fast, and translate it into sharp, conversion-focused outreach
• Build and manage the pipeline: prospecting, outreach sequencing, follow-up, qualification and closing
• Track, report and optimize the funnel — response rates, conversion, pipeline health — and react to the data
• Represent our clients' ventures and brands credibly to partners and decision-makers, often at senior level
• Test, learn and iterate on messaging, channels and targeting to lift conversion

Requirements

• A proven track record in (B2B) outreach, business development, sales or partnerships — you've built pipeline and closed deals
• The ability to understand a new offering fast and articulate its value convincingly
• A sales-, conversion- and success-driven mindset: you measure yourself on outcomes, not activity
• End-to-end ownership: comfortable running the full acquisition process independently, with structure and discipline
• Excellent communication and negotiation skills, written and verbal, in German and English
• Confident with CRM / pipeline tools and a data-informed approach to tracking and optimization
• A growth mindset: curious, self-driven, and comfortable being challenged

Nice to have

• Experience in high-profile brand acquisition or strategic partnerships
• Background in venture building, startups, or agency/consulting environments
• Familiarity with AI tools for outreach, research and pipeline automation

Benefits

• The Numbers: €50,000 – €60,000 gross annually (positioned according to your competencies)
• Daily Perk: your choice: a public transport subsidy or a tax-free daily lunch allowance.
• Permanent discounts with 600+ top brands via our Corporate Benefits platform.
• Flexibility & Trust: Flexible working hours and home office to balance your life, while keeping a vibrant team dynamic in our offices.
• Change of Scenery: Work remotely from anywhere within the EU (up to 20 calendar days/year) or take advantage of our sabbatical options.
• Latest Software: We work with what's current. If you know something newer and better, let's test it.
• International Team: A well-established, experienced crew located in Austria, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland.
• Flat Hierarchies: Your input finds open ears—whether it's about designs, business ideas, or party plans.
• Feedback Culture: open, and direct.
• Cool Workplace: Collaboration happens right in the middle of Vienna.
