← Back to Beanstalk: Venture Studio Positions Available (Southeast Asia)

</aside>

Apply for this role.

About the Role

The Partnerships Lead is the engine behind the studio's relationship quality. While the Head of Studio opens doors and closes capital, the Partnerships Lead makes sure those relationships deepen, produce value, and keep people wanting to stay involved.

This is not an account management role. It is a creative, analytical, partnership-building role for someone who understands that key partners stay engaged when they see something worth being part of, and have the right degree of ongoing engagement.

The role sits at the intersection of funder engagement, ecosystem development, and value chain players. In Year 1, it carries meaningful responsibility for building the funder and investor relationships that will provide the capital for the studio and our ventures. In conjunction, the Partnerships Lead will identify and foster other strategic relationships in the ecosystem including research organisations to help feed the venture pipeline, and value chain players interested in acquiring or licencing the technology we bring to market.

The role reports directly to the Head of Studio.

Location: Singapore-based (with existing work authorization)

Start: August/September 2026

Travel: Frequent travel across Southeast Asia and to key funder markets

Employment type: Fixed term till March 2028. Remuneration negotiable based on experience.

Key Responsibilities

Funder Relationship Management

• Build and sustain multifaceted relationships with funders that go well beyond transactional reporting — funders should feel genuinely connected to the studio's work and impact.
• Design and execute stakeholder and ecosystem engagement: develop joint assets, research, data, and evidence that give funders something real and meaningful to see.
• Manage the working-level relationship with LP and funder teams — feeding progress, evidence, and impact into the funder relationship so the Head of Studio can focus on principal-level engagement.
• Keep the fundraising pipeline moving and converting, including through events and ecosystem moments where the studio's story can be told.
