• Build and maintain a structured pipeline tracker with clear stage definitions, weighted forecasts, and conversion metrics.
• Outbound, Pitch & Deal Execution
• Lead outbound outreach to senior stakeholders (CCO / Head of Ancillary / Head of Digital / Head of Partnerships) at target partners.
• Craft tailored pitches and commercial narratives for each partner archetype, aligning Jetpac's value proposition with the partner's P&L drivers (ancillary revenue, CX differentiation, loyalty engagement, attach rate, etc.).
• Structure and negotiate commercial terms: revenue share, minimum guarantees, bundle economics, wholesale pricing, co-branded constructs, and exclusivity where relevant.
• Drive deals from first conversation to signed agreement, working closely with Legal and Finance on contracting.
• Integration & Distribution Models
• Work with Product and Tech to define the right integration model for each partner: checkout embed, co-branded storefront, CRM/loyalty integration, white-label, API, or offline bundles.
• Translate partner requirements into clear product/engineering briefs, and represent the commercial case internally when trade-offs are needed.
• Own go-live readiness - marketing, onboarding collateral, support flows, and reporting.
• Partner Success & Revenue Growth
• Post-signing, own partner performance: activation, volume ramp, conversion, retention, and account-level P&L.
• Run structured QBRs with key partners, surface joint growth plans, and identify upsell / expansion opportunities.
• Close the loop between partner feedback and Jetpac's product, pricing, and positioning.
• Market Insight & Function Building

Job Overview We are building out a new B2B partnerships revenue stream at Jetpac to complement our fast-growing B2C travel eSIM business. This is one of the most strategic bets for the company - B2B is expected to contribute a meaningful share of Jetpac's net revenue over the next few years through distribution partnerships with airlines, cruise operators, OTAs, visa and travel platforms, MICE operators, neobanks, super-apps, and other travel-adjacent channels. We are hiring a Head of B2B Partnerships to own this channel end-to-end - from target identification and outbound, through commercial negotiation, integration design, and long-term partner success. This is a builder role: you will be the first dedicated hire on B2B at Jetpac, setting the playbook, signing the first wave of marquee partners, and scaling the function into a repeatable revenue engine. The role reports directly to the CEO and works closely with Product, Tech, Commercial, Finance, and Legal. It is suited to someone who has sold or structured travel distribution / API / platform deals before, is equally comfortable pitching a CCO and mapping an integration flow, and wants to own a P&L-relevant channel from zero to scale.
