Manager - Global Brand Acquisitions & Partnerships

The Role:

RK Group is one of India's leading B2B e-commerce enablement companies, managing 800+ brands across Amazon, Myntra, Flipkart, and Blinkit. We are home to internationally loved retail names The Collective, Nautica, NEXT, and Mango, and we are building toward becoming India's definitive one-stop destination for international apparel. We are looking for a sharp, ambitious BD professional to grow this portfolio. If you are someone who reads the room, moves fast, and closes, this role is for you.

What You'll Do:

- Identify, pitch, and onboard new international apparel brands looking to enter or expand in India.

- Build and own the end-to-end partner acquisition pipeline, from cold outreach to signed agreements.

- Represent RK Group at trade shows, industry events, and brand meetings domestically and internationally.

- Work closely with internal teams to ensure smooth brand onboarding and long-term partner satisfaction.

- Track global retail trends and proactively identify white-space opportunities before competitors do.

- Maintain a disciplined pipeline and report progress clearly to leadership.

Who We're Looking For:

You move first, you close, and you make it look easy.

- 7+ years in business development, retail partnerships, or brand licensing, international exposure is a strong plus.

- Proven track record of closing deals, not just generating leads.

- Polished communicator, comfortable in a boardroom abroad and a Bangalore office.

- Someone who leads with common sense and takes ownership without needing to be told twice.

- Ambitious, you want to build something that matters, not just fill a role.

- Comfortable working independently and managing relationships across time zones.

What Will Make You Stand Out:

- You have personally brought an international brand into a new market.

- You have an existing network in global apparel, fashion retail, or brand licensing.

- You think in systems, pipeline, process, follow-up, not just individual deals.

- You bring ideas to the table nobody asked for, and they are usually right.

Why Join Us:

- You will own brand acquisition from start to finish, not just execute someone else's list.

- Work with a portfolio that already includes globally recognised names.

- A collaborative team that moves fast and backs people who take initiative.

- Room to grow into a senior BD or partnerships leadership role over time.
