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?

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

You're at the top of your game. You’ve built powerful affiliate networks, negotiated landmark deals with major publishers, and driven millions in D2C revenue. But you're hitting a ceiling! You're tired of being treated like a channel manager, fighting for scraps of budget for new partners, and watching your strategic vision get watered down by layers of management. You know you have the talent to architect a multi-million dollar growth engine from the ground up, but you're stuck in a role that asks you to maintain, not build.

Well, here is an invitation to the next chapter in your career.

We believe elite talent deserves a premium commitment. We back our vision with two things you won't find anywhere else: a world-class lifestyle and the keys to the world's most valuable market.

Your Reward (The Lifestyle): A highly competitive and transparent salary of AED 22,000 - AED 31,000/month + up to 10% performance bonus, all tax-free and top in class.

Your Toolbox (The Kingdom): While other companies give their teams incremental goals, we are giving you total ownership and an AI-Native Toolbox. You will be the single-threaded leader responsible for architecting our entire North American affiliate and publisher strategy from our global hub in Dubai. This is not a supporting role; you are the architect!

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

We’re restless, perpetually hungry, and fast-paced, driven by an unwavering belief that we can outperform any competitor — regardless of their size. Let's understand what success means for you:

• 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.
