About the role

We're looking for a Partnerships Manager to own Keyper's real estate agency channel, both growing our existing agency relationships and signing new ones. You'll be the face of Keyper to the agency community, responsible for driving adoption of our RNPM product across agents and their tenants.

This is a hybrid role: half your time will be spent on outbound, identifying, approaching, and onboarding new agency partners, and the other half on deepening relationships with agencies already in our network, helping them convert more of their tenants through Keyper.
