About Josephmark
We design and build scalable tech and unforgettable brands. At the intersection of cutting-edge technology and strategic design, Josephmark craft digital experiences that anticipate future trends and position our partners at the forefront of their industries. From rebooting Myspace for 100 million users to re‑igniting RCA Records, launching Bruce Springsteen’s new digital home and crafting immersive worlds for AMC’s The Walking Dead, we help ambitious teams go from 0 → 1—and beyond.
Why this role exists
We’re growing our commercial presence in LA. Alongside our Partnerships Lead, you’ll be the commercial heartbeat of our US studio—owning pipeline, proposals and post‑sale continuity. As our resident match‑maker, you’ll spot the founders, C-suite execs, product teams and innovation leads who should be working with JM, spark the conversation, then grow those relationships into long-term, values-aligned revenue.
What you’ll be doing
- Hunt & shape. Build targeted outbound campaigns for LA’s entertainment, tech and venture scenes—especially in the verticals we thrive in (music & media, edutech, fintech, agtech, health tech). Lead with curiosity, uncover the real need, and position JM as a partner—not a vendor.
- Close & steward. Run the full sales cycle—qualification to SOW to renewal—then stick around to ensure delivery lands and value compounds.
- Systemise. Keep the CRM squeaky‑clean, sharpen templates, and surface intel that helps us price, position and prioritise smarter.
- Amplify. Team up with Marketing partners on thought‑leadership drops, event plays and speaker slots that keep JM on the right radars.
- Coach. Share frameworks, feedback and forecasts with peers so our whole partnerships practice levels up.
You’ll thrive here if…
- You’ve got solid experience working in BD or partnerships for a brand, design, product or innovation studio (or if you don’t, tell us how your past experience will help you perfectly foray into this role).
- You practice consultative sales—asking sharp questions, listening hard, and co‑creating the right solution instead of pushing a quota.
- Your LA (and broader US) network already includes decision‑makers in some of our focus verticals.
- You write proposals and estimates that make creative, delivery and finance teams nod in unison.
- CRM hygiene is muscle‑memory.
- You can juggle six threads without dropping the strategic narrative.
- Relationship‑building is your default mode—clients trust you because you get them.
- You're excited to explore how AI tools can supercharge everything from outbound prospecting and proposal generation to client insights and strategic sales plays.
- Bonus points for: pricing retainers, wrangling enterprise-level client proposals and SOWs, light data chops.
Why you’ll love Josephmark
- Four‑day workweek. 100 % pay · 80 % time · 100 % output.
- Remote freedom. Work from where you work best in LA.
- Global collaboration. Join a tight‑knit crew that spans the US and Australia—swapping ideas (and sometimes the surfing forecast) across hemispheres.
- Professional‑development stipend. Conferences, coaching, code camps—your call.
- Purpose‑vetted projects. We only say yes to work that aligns with our mission.
- Inclusive culture. As long as you share our values and mindset, you’ll find a home here.

Colleen Morgan, Product Director
What’s the most interesting project you’ve worked on at JM? A video-on-demand project, think Netflix for South America. We traveled to Argentina, Colombia and Mexico to conduct field research for the product and branding. Had heaps of fun designing the experience for kids, met some amazing people (who I’m still friends with), and even squeezed in seeing some Mexican wrestling.
How long have you been in the industry for? 11 years. I've been at JM for 8+ years now. Before that, I was doing research in interaction and visual design. They even gave me the Dr. title for it.
What’s the best thing about working at JM? Working with people I love to see every single day. The work itself is so rewarding, but the people I get to sit side-by-side with enrich my life in so many ways beyond the studio walls.
What’s the worst thing about working at JM? That we are spread over many locations/timezones. Can someone please hurry up and invent a teleporter so our LA, Stockholm and Sydney peeps can pop into the studio for lunchtime hangs.
What’s something people might not know about being a strategist at JM? We have the privilege of going beyond strategic thinking about a product itself – feature releases, UX flows and the like – to a holistic consideration of the business. We're Venture Designers, helping 0-1 stage businesses, so we define financial models, expected growth, revenue streams, hiring plans, and operational costs. These models become essential tools for businesses to raise investment funds and bring their vision to life.
What advice do you have for strategists? Dive head-first into every new problem domain and relish in the challenge that is building new knowledge.
