Job description

We are looking for a Partnerships Manager Italy to join our team in Rome.

Company Overview

Our mission is to make everyday life easier by offering services to compare, subscribe to, and manage household contracts. Initially focused on energy price comparison, Selectra has expanded its activities to internet and mobile subscriptions, as well as insurance, banking, home security systems, and energy renovation. Our ambition is to become the reference solution for consumers who want to manage all their subscriptions and household expenses through a single tool.

Job Description

Context

The Partnerships team is responsible for developing lead‑generation agreements with referral partners who send leads to Selectra (real estate companies, banks, etc.). Our ambition is to make partnerships the company’s primary acquisition channel. Our service offering consists in supporting our partners’ customers with the subscription of their electricity, gas, internet, and home insurance contracts, among others. This service is particularly relevant for individuals moving into a new home, as well as for anyone looking to review their contracts and reduce their household expenses.

You will report directly to Maxime, Deputy Managing Director. In this role, you will interact with a wide range of external stakeholders as part of your partnership activities, as well as with several internal teams at Selectra (CRM and telephony teams, local business developers, etc.).

Your main responsibility will be to prospect and sign referral partners for Selectra, including real estate agency networks, social housing providers, banks, real estate service providers, and insurers. You will then be responsible for activating these partners and maximizing the commercial performance generated through them (lead volumes, revenue).

Your missions

Mission 1: Prospecting and signing partners

After one year in the role, you are expected to have:

• Prospected all of the following types of companies operating in Italy: real estate agency networks, real estate agent networks, real estate service providers, social housing organizations, and banks

Mission 2: Activation and follow‑up of signed partnerships

• You are expected to onboard every partner you sign, in line with the terms defined during the partnership negotiation, within one month of the partnership agreement being signed
• For each new partner, lead transfer and lead processing workflows must:
  • Be fully MECE (mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive)
  • Maximize both lead volumes and conversion rates
  • Be as automated as possible
  • Be thoroughly documented in our knowledge management tool (Basecamp)
  • Partner billing and relationship management processes must be fully operational and error‑free, in order to avoid any risk of losing signed partnerships. This includes, in particular, monthly or quarterly invoicing with zero errors, annual meetings or lunches with the most strategic partners, and monthly check‑ins with key partners
