Job description

Partnership Manager

Run the partnerships and events that put Spott on the map.

About Spott

Recruitment is a $1 trillion+ industry still running on outdated software, and the biggest players are slow to change. Spott is the reset: the first AI-native recruitment platform, one ATS & CRM where agencies manage candidates, clients and jobs, so they close more placements and help people find the right job faster. Backed by Y Combinator and Balderton, headquartered in Leuven, with offices in New York and Sydney, we already work with 500+ agencies in 30+ countries.

The role

As Spott's Partnership Manager, you'll scale our partnership engine, from the events where agencies meet us to the tools that plug into our platform. You'll work closely with the Partnerships, GTM and sales teams to make sure every partnership and event turns into real conversations with agencies. You'll be in-person at our HQ in Leuven, right where the action is.

What you'll do

• Own our events end to end: choose where and how we show up, take care of every detail before, during and after, and sharpen our event strategy.
• Manage our integration partners, from fast-moving start-ups to established software companies, and keep every integration on track until it's live, launched and bringing in customers.
• Be the first point of contact for new partners: check the fit and pitch them the Spott story.
• Analyse the partnership landscape, spot new opportunities and execute on the best ones.
• Build co-marketing with partners, from joint webinars to launch events, and help shape our partner programme and wider marketing as Spott grows.

What we're looking for

• Proven experience managing stakeholders, and running events from start to finish.
• Fluent English, and the people skills to get partners excited and switch easily between event organisers, sales and marketing teams.
• You own your projects end to end, keep many balls in the air and never let anything slip.
• You're a fast learner who quickly gets how software and AI work, and comfortable using modern AI tools to boost your efficiency.
• You have an eye for detail in marketing materials, from booth designs to product marketing, and come up with creative ideas that make people stop and look.
• Ambitious, hands-on and happy to roll up your sleeves at a startup.

What we offer

• A competitive salary plus generous stock options.
• The chance to shape how Spott grows through partnerships at a fast-growing, YC-backed startup where speed and impact matter.
• Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites.

Hiring process

1. Talent screening: your motivation to join Spott, what you're looking for next, and time for your questions.

2. Deep dive interview: how you handle partnerships day to day: owning an event from plan to follow-up, assessing and pitching new partners, spotting new opportunities, and how you use AI to get more done.

3. Founders chat: your ownership mindset, how you'd shape partnerships as Spott scales, and whether Spott is the right next step for you.
