Business Development Lead

About this role

About BJAK

BJAK was founded on a simple belief: people deserve smarter ways to plan, save and grow their money. That is where our name comes from.

We started in 2019 by building the region's first mobile-first insurance platform, making insurance accessible online to millions. Today we are Southeast Asia's leading insurance platform, and we are expanding into everything else people do with their money — spending, saving, investing, exchanging, travelling.

Our teams span more than 20 nationalities across our offices and remotely. We look for people who work for the thing itself rather than the hours, who want to build the next generation of products rather than maintain the current one, and who care about getting great financial tools into everyone's hands rather than a select few.

If that sounds like you, we would like to talk.

The role

You will be BJAK's person on the ground, responsible for getting the business established and growing. That means building partner relationships from scratch, working out how the market operates, and shaping the strategy that sits behind both.

This is a broad role in a new market. Some weeks will be partnership negotiation, others will be regulatory groundwork, operational setup, or working out why something is not converting. We are looking for someone comfortable moving between all of it rather than a specialist in any one part.

What you will do

Partnerships

• Identify, approach and close partnerships with financial institutions and ecosystem players

• Own each relationship end to end, from first conversation through negotiation, onboarding, integration and go-live

• Lead commercial negotiations, with sound judgement on pricing and partnership economics

• Keep a visible pipeline, with disciplined follow-up and clear reporting
