Partnerships Manager

Merchant Partnerships Manager — UAE Retail & E-commerce
About Getti
Getti is an online shopping assistant being built by 808 Labs. Customers describe what they need, discover relevant products across supported retailers, and purchase products from different stores through one checkout in Getti.
We’re looking for someone with strong UAE merchant relationships who can introduce Getti to retailers, communicate its commercial value and turn conversations into active partnerships.
The role
You will own merchant acquisition, from identifying suitable retailers and securing introductions to pitching Getti, negotiating agreements and coordinating onboarding. You’ll work directly with the founders to build our initial merchant network for a UAE-first launch.
Key responsibilities
* Identify and approach retailers across categories such as fashion, electronics, beauty, home and everyday essentials.
* Use your existing network and direct outreach to secure meetings with merchant decision-makers.
* Present Getti’s proposition clearly, including how it can help merchants reach additional customers while retaining control of their products, pricing and inventory.
* Lead partnership discussions, handle objections and negotiate commercial terms.
* Manage follow-ups and maintain a clear pipeline of opportunities and next steps.
* Coordinate merchant onboarding with our product and technical teams.
* Share merchant feedback to help improve our proposition and onboarding experience.
What we’re looking for
* Proven experience in merchant acquisition, retail partnerships or e-commerce business development.
* An established network of UAE retailers, brands or retail groups, with access to relevant decision-makers.
* A track record of personally securing and closing commercial partnerships.
* Strong presentation, negotiation and relationship management skills.
* Ability to explain a new product in simple, commercially relevant terms.
* A proactive approach and the ability to work independently in an early-stage startup.
Experience in e-commerce platforms, payments, BNPL or retail technology is particularly relevant. Arabic language skills and wider GCC merchant relationships are a plus.
What success looks like
Securing relevant merchant meetings, converting them into signed partnerships and helping those merchants become active on Getti.
