Business Development Manager (Relocate to Dubai to build an AI-native global brand)

Are you the 1 in 98,744 Partnership Leaders who knows that you can build a client empire but haven't found the right playground with the freedom to execute?

Forget fighting for budget. We’re looking for an empire builder to be the single-threaded owner of our entire North American partnership strategy, architected from our global HQ in Dubai.

You’ll be given total ownership of the P&L, a world-class (and tax-free) lifestyle, and the AI-native toolbox to build a multi-million dollar growth engine. This isn’t a supporting role—you are the architect.

*Note: Job Based Onsite in Dubai (Full Relocation & Visa Sponsorship Provided)*

Your Reward (The Lifestyle):

Your Toolbox (The Kingdom):

At Puffy, we're not just offering a job. We're offering you a plan to realize your full potential:

• Build an Empire of Partners:

  You won't just manage a list—you will identify, recruit, and onboard the most influential organic publishers, review sites, and content creators in the United States, making Puffy their most profitable partnership.

• Own the Entire U.S. Growth Channel:

  We've eliminated the red tape that suffocates A-Players. You'll own the budget, the strategy, and the P&L for all US-based partnerships. You will have the autonomy to negotiate groundbreaking deals and scale winning relationships without layers of approval.

• Become the Kingmaker:

  Work within an organization led by our Forbes Council Member CEO, gaining exposure to elite-level business operations and thought leadership. You will see the direct line from the strategic partnerships you forge to Puffy’s ascent as a top 5 US mattress brand. Your work will not only drive millions in revenue but establish the narrative that drives our global growth.

• AI-Native:

  Have you thought the results it can produce when you

  use native AI tools that can automate many of your tasks?

  It's extensive, and you'll experience it with us.

This role is for you if:

• You have a

  5+ year

  history of developing

  business partnerships

  specifically within e-commerce and D2C landscape. (USA & Canadian market experience is a big plus)
• You don't just manage affiliates; you build deep, strategic relationships with the most influential organic publishers and creators in North America.
• You are a master negotiator who uses data to architect win-win deals that others deem impossible, consistently exceeding ROI targets.

The Puffy DNA

restless, perpetually hungry, and fast-paced

• Be the Owner:

  We don't hire employees; we welcome owners. You are given the autonomy to make decisions and the expectation to see them through. You proactively identify and solve problems beyond your defined role, because you’re accountable for results - not activity.

• Execute with Urgency:

  Our mission demands relentless speed and precision. We thrive in a high-stakes, dynamic environment by making thoughtful decisions quickly, acting decisively and operating with a constant sense of purpose that separates us from the competition.

• Demand Excellence:

  We are not here to do what's easy; we are here to solve the hard problems that others can't. You will push the boundaries of your craft and insist on the highest standards to deliver impactful results.

• Go All-In:

  When the mission demands it, we rally as one team to cross the finish line. Critical projects require critical commitment, and here, going all-in means you’ll grow faster, achieve more, and be part of wins worth working for.

Here's What Success Looks Like:

In 12-24 months, you will have built a world-class, multi-million dollar partnership program, be recognized as the strategic architect of our North American success, and be living a tax-free, world-class lifestyle in Dubai. You will look back at this as the moment your career transformed from being a great manager to being a true empire builder.

The Alternative is clear: another year in a role where your potential is capped and your best ideas die in committee.
