Business Development Lead - US

Are you ready to get the Easygo Edge?

This role decides where KICK’s next revenue comes from. As our Business Development Lead in the US, you’ll win new agency groups, verticals and enterprise clients, and shape the offers that win them.

• What you’ll build with us:
• We are looking for a Business Development Lead to grow KICK's advertising business in the US. You will find and win clients that are new to KICK, make the case for advertising on the platform, and close the first deals that become long-term partnerships.

This is a full-time opportunity based in New York. You’ll work from home, but you won’t be working alone. You’ll be out in the market with agencies and advertisers, working closely with our US commercial team and connected to our Australian and Serbian teams as we build KICK’s US presence together.

• Who is Easygo and KICK?
• Easygo is a high-growth, high-velocity tech company with millions of eyeballs on us every day. We’re building the future of fearless tech. We’re the creators behind some of the most popular brands, including Stake, KICK and Easygo Games. These brands have a fierce global following, but our crew is employed directly by Easygo, and that’s where the real fun happens.
