Job description

Kerala's first and only dedicated Amazon selling training institute, based in Kozhikode is building a strong offline presence across Kozhikode and the wider region — through institutions, student communities, and company partnerships — is central to that growth. This is where the Partnership Associate role comes in.

The Partnership Associate will build and own our institutional partnerships, seminars, campus ambassador network, and company and placement relationships — the offline engine behind awareness, admissions, and real placement outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

• Identify, approach, and build partnerships with +2 schools, colleges, and polytechnics across Kozhikode and the wider region.
• Negotiate and formalise partnership arrangements or MOUs where appropriate, securing recurring access for seminars and referrals rather than one-off visits.
• Build and maintain a live, tracked pipeline of partner and prospective-partner institutions.
• Own each institutional relationship end-to-end — from first outreach through ongoing maintenance and renewal.

B.Seminars & Student Engagement

• Plan, coordinate, and personally deliver (or co-deliver) career-awareness seminars at partner institutions.
• Handle all seminar logistics — scheduling, materials, and on-site coordination with institution staff.
• Capture and qualify every lead generated at a seminar, logging it into the CRM the same day.
• Continuously refine the seminar format based on what actually drives sign-ups, not just attendance.
• Recruit, onboard, and manage a network of student campus ambassadors across partner institutions.
• Set clear expectations, incentive structure, and simple reporting for every ambassador.
• Track ambassador-driven referrals and ensure incentive payouts are timely and accurate.

D.Lead Generation & Community Building

• Build and actively manage student community spaces (WhatsApp/Instagram) tied to each partner institution.
• Work closely with the sales team to ensure a clean, fast handover of every seminar- and ambassador-generated lead.
• Support broader awareness activity around result-day campaigns and local student events.

E.Company & Placement Partnerships

• Identify and build relationships with companies and business owners for student placement opportunities.
• Coordinate placement drives, interviews, and hiring partnerships that directly support placement-support promise.
• Maintain a live, accurate record of placement partners and outcomes — this feeds directly into the academy's proof-based content and marketing.
• Maintain an accurate, current partnership and seminar pipeline, reported to the Growth Head on a regular cadence.
• Collaborate closely with the sales and content teams so partnership activity feeds directly into admissions and brand storytelling.
• Proactively flag risks, opportunities, and institution-specific insights — don't wait to be asked.

Qualifications & Experience

Education

• Bachelor's degree in any discipline — background in marketing, communications, or business.

Experience

• 1–3 years in business development, campus/community outreach, admissions counseling, or another relationship-facing role.
• Strong, energetic freshers with excellent communication and initiative are genuinely welcome to apply.
• Experience working with educational institutions, or in a fast-moving startup environment, is a plus.

What We Offer

• A foundational, high-visibility role building an academies entire offline presence and partnership function from scratch.
• Direct reporting line to the Growth Head — real ownership and fast decision-making.
• The opportunity to shape how an entire academy builds its brand and community across Kerala.
• A fast-moving, performance-driven environment, with room to grow into a larger Partnerships/Growth leadership role as the function scales.
• Genuine cross-functional exposure — across marketing, sales, and placement — rather than a siloed role.
• Competitive compensation based on experience and skills.
