Full Job Description
About the Role:

Notion's Business Development team accelerates product distribution and platform growth through partnerships. This role has the potential to drive outsized scope in Notion's journey - we're partnering with some of the best companies in the world and turn momentum into first-in-kind deals and scaled programs that result in delightful experiences for our customers, and growth for Notion.

As Business Development Manager, you'll be the ecosystem partner to our engineering and product teams, launching and deepening integrations with frontier intelligence platforms and the tools our customers already use. You'll be the voice of partners within Notion, shaping our product roadmap and driving adoption of new APIs and developer tools in the ecosystem. You'll also get to design and execute growth strategies that drive new user demand and own relationships with some of our strategic partners like OpenAI, Anthropic, Slack, and Google.

This role can be based in either San Francisco or New York City. We work from our offices on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays (our Anchor Days) because we do our best thinking and building together in person. We're looking for someone who's excited to work alongside the team during those days.

What You'll Achieve:
  • Scale the Notion platform: In close collaboration with partners and Notion's product and engineering teams, identify, evaluate and facilitate launch of new product integrations. Project manage partner-centric launches - from partner onboarding and implementation, to driving go-to-market and post-launch tracking.
  • Drive partner strategy: Own and grow relationships with select strategic partners, becoming their voice within Notion. Identify, evaluate and implement new product and co-marketing opportunities that create outsized value for partners, Notion and our shared customers.
  • Be the best partner to the best partners: As an internal advocate for Notion's partners, ensure their needs are being considered and reflected in our roadmap and planning. Provide ongoing support to grow our strategic relationships.
  • Accelerate distribution partnerships: Source, evaluate, and launch first-in-kind partnerships that drive new user demand for Notion. From negotiation to launch and performance tracking, turn successful deals into scalable programs based on adoption and revenue signals.


Skills You'll Need to Bring:
  • 7+ years in business development / strategic partnerships / product / growth
  • Strong product instincts and experience working closely with engineering, product and go-to-market teams
  • High agency and comfort operating in ambiguity. You can drive clarity where a playbook doesn't exist yet
  • Operational rigor, ability to execute end-to-end and manage complex cross-functional projects
  • Strong communication and negotiation skills. You can tell a clear and compelling story in docs, decks, and in person


Nice to Haves:
  • You've been an early go-to-market or product hire at a fast-growing company before
  • You have fluency working with ISVs and across developer ecosystems
  • You've built partnerships across multiple regions (AMER, EMEA, APAC)


Notion is committed to providing highly competitive cash compensation, equity, and benefits. The compensation offered for this role will be based on multiple factors such as location, the role's scope and complexity, and the candidate's experience and expertise, and may vary from the range provided below. For roles based in San Francisco or New York City, the estimated base salary range for this role is $185,000 - $210,000 per year.

A Note on AI

You don't need deep AI expertise for every role, but we do expect every Notino to be intellectually curious, drawn to tinkering and discovery, and excited to use AI as a real collaborator in their work. For some roles, AI fluency is a core requirement - when that's the case, we'll say so explicitly in the qualifications. People who thrive here don't treat AI as a novelty. They use it to think better, and make their work easier for others to build on.
