Business Developer

Role Overview

As Business Developer, you take ownership of Helvepic’s commercial development and, in practice, lead its Sales function. Your purpose is to strengthen the company’s economic foundations in service of its long-term artistic ambition: you develop, structure and secure the revenue-generating partnerships — sponsorships, patronage, commercial collaborations and tailored deals — that turn ambitious artistic projects into sustainable, viable productions. This is a role measured by outcomes: opportunities identified, negotiations led, and agreements closed.

You will report directly to the CEO and work in close, trust-based proximity with him, within a small and highly collaborative team. While you drive the commercial agenda, you do not operate in isolation: you coordinate business development efforts transversally, without hierarchical authority, federating the team’s existing relationships and initiatives, aligning contributions and being a genuine source of proposals. Success here relies on your ability to mobilize people, connect initiatives and add your own contribution — not on managing through formal leadership.

The role sits at the crossroads of music, culture and business. You are expected to understand the Swiss and international cultural and creative landscape — particularly music tied to video games, film and series — and to bring, or quickly build, a real foothold in that ecosystem: a network you can activate and grow. A central dimension of the work is building balanced, win-win collaborations, where partners and sponsors clearly grasp the value of working with Helvepic, and where every agreement aligns artistic integrity with mutual benefit and long-term, trust-based relationships.

This is a part-time, secondary engagement — around 20% over the year. It is intentionally designed as a complementary activity, well suited to an independent professional or someone already active in the industry who is looking for a structured, meaningful mandate rather than a main job. At Helvepic, even the most commercial work serves something bigger than itself. The people here don’t feel like they are simply doing a job — they are part of a collective adventure that carries real emotional weight and meaning. What we create moves people, and everyone contributes with genuine investment. In this role, your commercial drive is not an end in itself: it is what allows ambitious, emotionally powerful productions to exist and stand on solid economic ground. We are looking for someone who wants their ability to sell, negotiate and close to serve a purpose worth caring about — a rigorous, structured and autonomous professional who thrives on turning opportunities into concrete outcomes and on giving the direction clear visibility on where things stand.
