Overview

Head of Business Development & Partnerships (Founding Role)

Palace Beverages is an emerging beverage company creating bold, fun-first non-alcoholic options for the modern world. We're building a brand that blends culture, creativity, and taste — and we're looking for a founding partner to help us bring it to life.

The Role

We're seeking a Head of Business Development & Partnerships (Founding Role) to join our core team. This is not a standard job — it's a chance to help build a beverage brand from the ground up with meaningful equity.

You'll leverage your industry expertise and connections to unlock opportunities, guide strategy, and accelerate growth. As a founding leader, you'll have a hand in shaping Palace Beverages\' future while driving revenue and long-term partnerships. For the right candidate, there is also the option to participate as a strategic investor, aligning even more closely with the brand\'s success.

Responsibilities

  • Open doors across distribution, retail, on-premise, and direct-to-consumer channels.
  • Build and manage key relationships with distributors, retailers, buyers, and strategic partners.
  • Define and execute business development strategy aligned with brand vision.
  • Collaborate with the founding team on go-to-market strategy, sales plans, and brand positioning.
  • Represent Palace Beverages as a founding leader in the industry.

Qualifications

  • 7+ years in the beverage industry (non-alcoholic, alcoholic, or functional).
  • Deep network of industry contacts — distributors, buyers, retailers, investors.
  • Proven track record of scaling beverage brands through partnerships and sales.
  • Entrepreneurial spirit : comfortable building from scratch, adaptable, and resourceful.
  • Leadership mindset with strong communication and negotiation skills.
  • Why Join Us

  • Founding-level equity in Palace Beverages.
  • The chance to shape and scale a new beverage brand from day one.
  • A creative, ambitious environment where your ideas have real impact.
  • Flexibility to work remotely with a hands-on, results-driven team.
