Business Development Executive – Growth Partnerships

About the role

Deriv is looking for a Business Development Executive to join its Growth Partnerships function. The partners you recruit and activate connect Deriv's products to real traders across more than 150 countries, bringing traders through Introducing Brokers, affiliates, fintech partners and payment providers. The role is full-time and based in Asunción.

Key responsibilities

• Partner acquisition and recruitment: identify, recruit and grow high-value IBs, affiliates, fintech partners, payment providers and strategic alliances aligned with Deriv's growth objectives in your assigned markets.
• Portfolio activation and performance: own the partner lifecycle from onboarding through to revenue performance, analyse trends, identify gaps and implement improvement plans with support from the wider GP team.
• Commercial deal support: support negotiations of commission structures, volume targets and support agreements, and learn the unit economics behind them.
• AI-enabled operations: work within AI systems that source, onboard, support and manage partners at scale, and help product and engineering teams improve the tooling.
• Industry representation: represent Deriv at conferences and partner events such as iFX Expo, Finance Magnates, Forex Expo Dubai and regional growth events.

Required profile

• Early-career experience in business development, partnerships, sales or a commercial support function, ideally in online trading, FX/CFD, fintech or a performance-driven digital ecosystem.
• A working understanding of how IB and affiliate ecosystems operate, or the curiosity and learning pace to get there quickly.
• Comfortable working across different cultures and markets; exposure to MENA, Africa, LATAM or Southeast Asia is a plus.
• Relevant degree in business, economics, finance or equivalent.

Required skills

• Active use of AI tools in day-to-day work and curiosity about how automation can improve commercial operations.
• Ability to turn conversations into outcomes and to build credibility with experienced operators.

The role is demanding for someone starting out, but offers hands-on experience with a partner ecosystem operating across more than 150 countries, direct exposure to GP leadership and the chance to learn from people who have done this at scale.
