The Role
As Business Development Executive — Partnerships, you will own the growth of ResearchBuddy AI's institutional and strategic partnerships.
What You Will Actually Do

Who We Are Looking For
We want someone already inside the research ecosystem.
Required:
- Published research: At least one peer-reviewed paper or conference publication with your name on it. You must understand publishing from the author's side.
- A real network: Across universities, research groups, clubs, journals, or conference committees in Bangladesh — people who will take your call
- A Bachelor's degree in any research discipline
- Genuine fluency in how academic publishing works: DOI, indexing, peer review, editorial boards, predatory vs legitimate publishing
- Comfortable in a room with a Dean, a Vice-Chancellor, or a company's Head of R&D
- Strong written and spoken English and Bangla
- Strong communication, networking, negotiation, coordination, and event management skills
- Willingness to travel to universities, offices, conferences, and events when required
Why Take This Job
- You will be selling something legitimate. We are a Crossref member with a real DOI prefix.
- Uncapped commission. Institutional contracts are annual and they renew. Your ceiling is your pipeline.
- Your network becomes an asset, not something you leave behind when you take a corporate job.
- Founding-team scope. You build this function, and it grows around you.
