Studenty seeks a Business Development Manager

Studenty seeks a Business Development Manager

Studenty.me is unique. We’re the world’s first national online student community. We’ve just completed several months of beta testing and we’re starting to plan and build Studenty 2.0 which based on all we’ve learnt, will be a big leap forward and a radically different model.

We’re recruiting a high calibre team to execute our highly ambitious business plan. Our beta website is on target to generate in excess of 1,000,000 visitors this year and has a realistic monetisation strategy ready to execute. Our overall strategy is fast growth and first to market, initially in Ireland, but then quickly into GB and beyond.
We’re bootstrapping this start-up ourselves for now, and we plan to be in a position to offer salaries to key team members next year. We’re just about to engage with potential sources of grants and seed funding. Therefore initial reward will be by share options and our end-game if successful, is to sell all or part of the business within five years. We already have follow-on plans to apply our business model to other complementary, significant market niches, with similarly low levels of competition.

Our Business Development Manager will implement Studenty’s monetisation strategy, working closely with our Editors and Social Media Marketing Managers in Belfast, Cork, Dublin and Galway.

The Challenges:

* Implement and develop Studenty’s monetisation strategy, co-ordinating with
colleagues to insure effectiveness.
* Measure, analyse and report on key performance aspects of our monetisation
strategy.
* Build Studenty’s business development capabilities as we scale.
* Provide customer and market intelligence that informs the development of new
revenue streams.

To Be Effective In This Role You’ll Need:

*  Detailed knowledge of social media / ecommerce business models.
*  Several years full-cycle sales experience including enterprise level sales
into tier one brands.
*  Strong project management skills
*  Ability to effectively communicate information and ideas in written and verbal
format, conduct effective research and build and maintain strong working
relationships.

To have an informal conversation about this role, email your CV, clearly highlighting relevant skills and experience to; Mike@Studenty.me

Its highly preferable that the successful candidate is located on the island of Ireland. This role could initially be executed part-time.

*Studenty is committed to building a successful company, to support our
ambitious  social responsibility agenda.*

About Mike

As Studenty's founder, I'll mainly be doing things behind the scenes that no one else wants to do, but occasionally, if I behave, I might escape the shackles and get to report on whatevers trending from news to events and satirical goings-on.
