COMPENSATION: Equity and Revenue Share
*NO CASH BASIS AT THIS TIME *

TruBeauté is building a more personal and inclusive future for beauty.

Our AI-powered beauty education and discovery platform helps people find suitable products and learn techniques tailored to their face, skin tone, skin type, age, allergies, facial hair, gender expression, experience, and goals.

The platform has already guided approximately 580 users through the full experience, and TruBeauté was recently named a Top 10 finalist for the 2SLGBTQIA+ Prize at Startupfest Montréal. We are now building our B2B offering, helping beauty brands transform their existing product catalogues into personalized shopping and education experiences.

The Role

We’re hiring a Founding Beauty Partnerships Lead to help build a pipeline through relationships, introductions, events, and thoughtful outreach.

This person will work directly alongside the founder to secure conversations with beauty brands, agencies, retailers, media companies, creators, and other strategic partners.

You will own the groundwork required to make those conversations happen: identifying opportunities, researching prospects, making introductions, conducting outreach, managing follow-ups, and getting qualified meetings onto the calendar.

The founder will lead partnership meetings, product demonstrations, negotiations, and closing conversations. Your job is to consistently open the right doors and help move opportunities forward.

This is an early founding role measured on partnership conversations that develop into pilot programs and revenue.

How You’ll Generate Pipeline

• Leverage your existing network to create warm introductions.
• Identify and research prospective beauty brands and strategic partners.
• Conduct thoughtful outreach and manage consistent follow-up.
• Build relationships with agencies, creators, media companies, retailers, and industry connectors.
• Attend relevant beauty, ecommerce, creator, and startup events.
• Turn the founder’s existing relationships into an organized partnership pipeline.
• Prepare the founder for meetings and own the follow-through afterward.

What We’re Looking For

1. An existing network across beauty, influencer marketing, media, or agencies. This is the primary qualification. The rest can be taught. You should be able to name 20 people you would contact in your first week.
2. Comfortable doing the work behind successful partnerships. This role requires research, outreach, follow-ups, organization, and persistence. You will not simply provide a list of names and wait for the founder to act on it.
3. Strong relationship-building instincts. You understand how to approach people thoughtfully, build trust, and turn an introduction into a genuine business conversation.
4. Understands the beauty ecosystem. You do not need to be a beauty technologist, but you should understand how brands, agencies, creators, retailers, and ecommerce teams work together.
5. Open to pipeline goals and structured accountability. You will be measured on qualified partnership conversations, pilot opportunities, and partnership-sourced revenue.
6. Entrepreneurial and comfortable at an early-stage company. TruBeauté is still being built. We need someone who can work closely with the founder, operate without layers of management, and turn ideas into action.

Compensation

This is a pre-revenue founding role compensated through equity and revenue share on partnerships you help generate.

There is no guaranteed cash salary at this stage. The role is intended for someone who wants to help build the partnerships function from the ground up and grow into a senior leadership position as TruBeauté generates revenue and raises capital.
