About LeadsIQ – A Skybox Capital Company
We're not here to play small.

LeadsIQ is a fast-scaling powerhouse in the comparison marketing and customer acquisition space, operating across banking, insurance, finance, moving, subscription services, and D2C verticals. Backed by Skybox Capital—founded by the entrepreneurs who built and sold Vivid Seats—we move quickly, think analytically, and compete aggressively.

Competitors try to keep up. They can't.

We grow because we identify opportunities faster, negotiate better deals, and execute relentlessly.

Your Mission
This isn't a traditional account management role.

We're looking for a Business Development Manager who loves winning deals, finding opportunities others miss, and using data to make smarter decisions.

You'll work closely with leadership, marketing, and analytics teams to identify growth opportunities, negotiate strategic partnerships, and drive revenue across multiple business lines.

The ideal candidate combines strong sales instincts with analytical curiosity. Someone who enjoys prospecting, negotiating, and building relationships—but also wants to understand the numbers behind why a deal works.

What Winning Looks Like Here

Consistently creating and closing new revenue opportunities

What We're Looking For

2–6 years of experience in business development, sales, partnerships, or related commercial roles

Proven ability to meet or exceed quotas, KPIs, or revenue goals

Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills

Analytical mindset with strong Excel skills

Experience using data to drive business decisions

Comfortable working in a fast-paced, performance-oriented environment

Affiliate marketing, performance marketing, lead generation, or customer acquisition experience is a strong plus

High-growth environment with significant career advancement opportunities

Opportunity to help launch new verticals and shape company growth

High visibility and direct impact on revenue
