Company Description
Aqtiv is dedicated to empowering people to live active, healthy lives by turning everyday movement into tangible rewards. The app goes beyond simple activity tracking by motivating and engaging users through meaningful incentives that encourage consistent physical activity. By connecting movement with rewards, Aqtiv App supports users in building healthier habits and a more rewarding lifestyle. The platform is in its early growth phase, offering opportunities to help shape its future impact as it prepares for launch.
The Role
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role. You will be responsible for building Aqtiv's partner pipeline from the ground up — identifying the right brands, pitching the value of joining our platform, negotiating commercial terms, and onboarding partners so their offers are live in the app.
This is a relationship role. The best partners will stick around because they see genuine engagement and redemption from Aqtiv's users — and you will help them understand that value.
You will report directly to the founder and work closely with the product team to ensure the partner experience is seamless from sign-up to reward delivery.
This is a part-time, fully remote position offered initially on a 3-month contract, with the opportunity to extend or move into a permanent role with Aqtiv as the partnership catalogue and company grow.
What You'll Do
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
