Business Manager

Streetgains is a SEBI-registered Research Analyst firm (Reg. No. INH000017082). Our newest brand, Streetfolio, is India's first philosophy-based model portfolio platform — ten research-backed portfolios, each anchored to an archetype from Indian wisdom traditions. We are looking for a Business Manager to lead B2B/Partnerships/Franchise/Partnership operations in a regulated environment that no RA has built before: a certified, fully regulated distribution network for model portfolios across India.

You will build and own Streetfolio's partner network from the ground up. We have the complete blueprint — a partner program design, a signing-ready engagement agreement, a scouting map of distributor associations, mutual fund distributor networks, finance educators and research analysts. What we need is the person who gets in the room, closes the agreement, and brings partners live. You are that person: a field-comfortable, relationship-driven closer who can walk into an IFA association office in Chennai, a creator's studio in Hyderabad, or a media house in Bengaluru and come back with a signed partnership.

What we are looking for

• 2–3 years in channel/partner business development where YOU closed the deals — ideal backgrounds: mutual fund distributor or ND partner acquisition, broking franchisee / authorized-person network expansion, insurance agency recruitment, fintech B2B partnerships, or media/creator partnership sales;
• A track record you can narrate deal by deal: partners signed, network built, revenue activated;
• Comfortable with field travel across South India (30–40%), association meetings, and founder-level as well as individual-advisor conversations;
• Fluent English and Kannada; working Telugu or Tamil is a strong advantage — our Phase 1 network is being built in four South Indian languages;
• Process and documentation discipline: every partner in our industry passes a compliance vetting gate before commercial terms are agreed, and every agreement follows an approved template. You should see this as your protection and your pitch, not as friction;
• Bengaluru-based or willing to relocate.
• Existing relationships in the MFD/IFA ecosystem or the regional finance-creator ecosystem;
• Any NISM certification and familiarity with SEBI's Research Analyst/distribution regulations (we will train you; you will complete NISM Series-XXV-A within 60 days of joining, company-sponsored);
• Experience working with talent agencies or media houses on creator deals.

Email your resume to [Confidential Information] with the subject Business Manager — Partnerships, and include 3–5 lines on the best partnership or channel deal you have personally closed: how you sourced it, how long it took, and what it produced.
