About Mix Tape Ventures

Mix Tape Ventures is a private investment and operating company that acquires, builds, and grows exceptional businesses across eCommerce, manufacturing, consumer products, industrial services, and emerging technologies.

Unlike traditional investment firms, we're hands-on operators. We work alongside our portfolio companies to improve operations, accelerate growth, launch new ventures, and create long-term value. Our team believes in ownership, continuous learning, servant leadership, and solving meaningful problems together.

Every day presents a new opportunity to build something better—and we're looking for people who share that mindset.

Position Overview

Great business development professionals don't just generate leads—they create strategic relationships, uncover new opportunities, and help businesses achieve long-term growth.

As a Business Development Manager at Mix Tape Ventures, you'll identify new opportunities, build strategic partnerships, and help expand our portfolio of businesses into new markets. You'll work closely with executive leadership, sales, marketing, and operations to develop growth strategies that strengthen existing businesses while helping identify new avenues for expansion.

Every day is different. You might be researching acquisition opportunities, meeting with prospective partners, developing a market entry strategy, evaluating a new industry, or collaborating on initiatives that drive long-term revenue growth. If you're energized by relationship building, strategic thinking, and creating new business opportunities, we'd love to meet you.

What You'll Do

• Identify, research, and pursue new business development opportunities across multiple industries.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with strategic partners, customers, and key stakeholders.
• Develop strategies for entering new markets and expanding existing business opportunities.
• Research industry trends, competitive landscapes, and emerging market opportunities.
• Collaborate with sales, marketing, and executive leadership to develop growth initiatives.
• Prepare business cases, presentations, proposals, and partnership recommendations.
• Support acquisition sourcing, strategic partnerships, and joint venture opportunities when appropriate.
• Represent Mix Tape Ventures at networking events, trade shows, and industry meetings.
• Track business development activities, pipeline progress, and performance metrics.
• Contribute ideas that drive long-term revenue growth and strategic expansion.

What Success Looks Like

Successful Business Development Managers don't simply generate opportunities—they create lasting partnerships that fuel sustainable growth.

Within your first year, you'll be expected to:

• Build a strong pipeline of qualified business opportunities.
• Develop meaningful relationships with strategic partners and industry stakeholders.
• Identify new markets and growth opportunities that contribute to company expansion.
• Successfully support partnership, acquisition, and business development initiatives.
• Become a trusted advisor to leadership on market trends and growth strategies.
• Deliver measurable contributions to revenue growth and long-term business value.

What We're Looking For

We're less interested in checking boxes and more interested in finding strategic thinkers who enjoy building relationships and creating new opportunities.

Ideal candidates demonstrate many of the following:

• Strong communication, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
• Strategic thinking with the ability to identify growth opportunities.
• Excellent presentation and business development skills.
• Self-motivated with a proactive, results-oriented mindset.
• Strong organizational and project management abilities.
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
• High degree of ownership, accountability, and professionalism.
• Curiosity, resilience, and a passion for continuous learning.
• Experience in business development, sales, partnerships, consulting, strategy, or account management is a plus.
• Experience working with CRM systems, market research, financial analysis, or strategic planning is also a plus—but not required.
