# Business Development Manager, FMCG

The research industry is being rebuilt from the ground up and Ideally is building the platform at the centre of it. A $30bn market is shifting away from slow, agency-led research toward always-on software that enables faster, repeatable decisions at a fraction of the cost. We're one of New Zealand's fastest-growing startups, recently closed a Series A, and are scaling into the US. This is an opportunity to help define a category, build a high-growth market, and have a direct impact on the trajectory of a company with global ambition. Why work at Ideally Ideally is a high-performance, high-care environment built for people who want to do the most meaningful work of their career. We move quickly, set a high bar, and trust our people to own outcomes, not just execute tasks. As we continue to scale, you'll have the opportunity to shape how we grow, solve complex commercial challenges, and make a visible impact on the business. If you're energised by autonomy, continuous learning, ambitious teammates, and building something category-defining, you'll thrive here.
