Local Business Development Manager

NewsBreak•Mountain View, CA

About The Position

NewsBreak is looking for a Local Business Development Manager to acquire local advertising budgets at scale. This hire will leverage NewsBreak's local mission to establish a repeatable partnership pipeline in the local / home-services category. This is a foundation-building role tied to NewsBreak's long-term strategic focus on local to break through and improve local ad density in a way that fits the user experience.

Requirements

4+ years of business development, partnerships, or channel-sales experience, ideally with a track record building one-to-many or affiliate-style partnerships (not solely single-advertiser sales).
Experience in, or strong familiarity with, the local / home-services advertising ecosystem.
Demonstrated ability to source, negotiate, and close scaled partnership agreements.
Comfortable working against a longer-term, foundation-building mandate rather than a purely short-term revenue quota.
Existing relationships within the home-services, local-lead-gen, or local-marketplace space.
Experience at a self-service advertising platform, DSP, or ad network.

Responsibilities

Acquire local ad budgets at scale by building and closing one-to-many partnerships (partner networks, marketplaces, referral/affiliate-style deals).
Own the full partnership lifecycle: prospecting, pitching, negotiating, and onboarding one-to-many partners that bring local advertiser demand onto the NewsBreak platform.
Serve as NewsBreak's direct BD presence in the local / home-services category, reducing dependency on agency relationships NewsBreak doesn't directly manage.
Partner with Product, Account Management, and Marketing to ensure new partnerships are supported post-launch and retained.
Track and report on partnership pipeline, signed deals, and resulting local ad spend / ad density metrics.
