at Aeronord Media

🏢 About Aeronord Media

GeneralGiist (under Aeronord Media) is a global discussion forum and community focused on real conversations, shared interests, and authentic connection. Unlike algorithm-driven social platforms, it prioritizes free speech, discovery, and fun, making it a unique place for meaningful dialogue. Joining now means getting in on the ground floor of a growing platform that is actively building its business foundation.

About This Role

As a Business Development & Monetization Manager, you'll be the driving force behind GeneralGiist's revenue strategy. You'll research, identify, and develop revenue models—from advertising and sponsorships to partnerships and premium offerings—and turn them into actual deals. This is a hands-on role where you'll directly shape the platform's sustainability and growth.

💡 A Day in the Life

You might start your day researching potential partners or advertisers, then draft a proposal for a sponsorship deal. Later, you'll hop on calls with prospective partners to pitch ideas, negotiate terms, and update your pipeline. You'll also collaborate with the GeneralGiist team to ensure monetization efforts align with community values and platform goals.
