Arkadium Fractional Business Development Lead

At Arkadium, our purpose is simple: to have fun while creating fun. For 25 years, we've been behind some of the world's most-played gamesfrom the classic Solitaire that came with Windows to hundreds of web and mobile games enjoyed by millions of players around the globe.

As a proud Evergreen business, our values of Fierce Drive, Positive Energy, and Living Full Lives guide how we build products, lead teams, and grow sustainably. We are founder-led, privately held, and consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work. In other words, we're not your typical games company.

We're looking for a fractional business development lead based in San Francisco to help Arkadium build relationships in the AI ecosystem and create new partnership opportunities.

This person will act as an embedded connector across the San Francisco AI community-attending events, building relationships, opening doors with relevant companies, and helping us get closer to the right researchers, product teams, and decision-makers.

This is a part-time/fractional 3-month engagement with the potential to extend based on results.

If you're a well-connected business development professional in the San Francisco AI ecosystem and excited to help Arkadium build strategic partnerships, we'd love to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Build and manage relationships across the San Francisco AI community

Attend industry events, meetups, dinners, and conferences regularly

Identify and engage high-value contacts at AI labs, startups, and adjacent companies

Create introductions that lead to partnership and business development opportunities

Help Arkadium navigate complex organizations and find the right internal teams

Conduct targeted outreach and consistent follow-up with prospects

Share market feedback and intelligence from conversations in the ecosystem

Coordinate closely with Arkadium leadership on target accounts, messaging, and priorities

What Success Looks Like

Opens doors to the right people at priority companies

Generates qualified introductions and meetings quickly

Helps convert outreach into concrete partnership conversations

Contributes to closed deals or clear late-stage opportunities during the engagement

Builds a repeatable relationship map of the San Francisco AI ecosystem
