About Yieldstreet

Yieldstreet is the leading private market investment platform. We believe that private market investment products should be a fundamental part of your portfolio. That’s why we’re unlocking access to make it easier than ever to get started. We partner with top-tier investment managers to provide investors with a wide range of opportunities across real estate, venture capital, private equity, art, short-term notes, and more. All of our offerings are curated and vetted by our team to help investors diversify away from the stock market with confidence.

All Yieldstreet offices follow a hybrid work model, with 3 in-office days weekly (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).

We’re looking for a Business Development and Strategy Manager who will play a pivotal role in shaping and executing the company’s strategic direction. You will develop and nurture strategic partnerships that align with our company's goals and objectives as well as help drive the overall corporate strategy. Reporting to the VP – Business Development and Strategy, you will be part of a small but critical team working cross-functionally with our Marketing, Product, Investment, and other teams to expand our reach and accelerate our go-to-market, customer, revenue, and overall franchise growth.

The ideal candidate will have strong analytical and relationship management skills, the ability to seamlessly switch between high-level strategic planning and hands-on execution, and a track record in building and managing partnerships effectively, preferably in the consumer financial services space. If you are a self-starter, thrive in a fast-moving, collaborative environment and want to work on meaningful, cross-functional growth opportunities, we’d love to chat.
