As the Head of Europe Partnerships & Business Development, you will be a key member of SpreeAI’s senior leadership team, responsible for building and scaling our global partnerships and business development function from the ground up. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role reporting directly to the Global Head of Partnerships & Business Development, where you will set the strategy and vision for partnerships, then execute on it to drive significant revenue and growth. You will lead all partnership initiatives end-to-end – from identifying and negotiating strategic deals with fashion brands, tech platforms, and other key stakeholders, to nurturing these relationships for long-term success. You will foster a culture of excellence and high performance, mentoring your team to achieve ambitious targets.
