We seek highly motivated and results-oriented investment analyst & new brand partnerships specialists to drive the identification and initial engagement of potential brands for both our investment and accelerator programs. This role is crucial to our growth strategy, requiring a dynamic individual who can identify high-potential manufacturer-led brands for investment opportunities as well as brands that are a strong fit for our e-commerce revenue-sharing accelerator. The ideal candidate will possess a keen eye for identifying promising brands through market research, a strong understanding of the e-commerce landscape, and the ability to articulate Nexten Brands' value proposition effectively to potential partners.
