Kiwitaxi

Strategic Partnerships / B2B Manager

In short

This senior B2B/strategic partnerships role at an international transfer service company (Kiwitaxi, operating in 100+ countries) is fully remote and focused on building and closing new partnerships with travel companies, OTAs, airlines, and travel-tech players from scratch. It demands 4–7+ years of B2B sales/partnerships experience in travel or related industries, a proven track record of self-initiated deals through complex multi-month sales cycles, and C1–C2 English plus conversational Russian. The candidate should be comfortable with independent prospecting rather than inbound leads or account management, and ideally based in the EU or Asia with willingness to travel.
