Job description

Full-Time | Eastern Time (ET) core hours | Long-Term Contract

About the Role

Our client is a fast-growing global community for e-commerce entrepreneurs, connecting hundreds of active sellers and brands with partners, tools, and resources that help them scale. They're looking for a Partnerships Associate to own the full partner lifecycle — from identifying and closing new partners to keeping every relationship running smoothly behind the scenes. This is a hybrid sales + operations role: you'll bring partners in, and you'll make sure they stay in.

Key Responsibilities

• Proactively identify, pitch, and close new partners (brands, SaaS tools, service providers, experts) across affiliates, event sponsorships, and community offerings
• Own partner outreach from first contact to signed agreement, writing tailored pitches and following up consistently
• Support and lead sales conversations around sponsorships, affiliate programs, and event partnership packages
• Manage the full contract lifecycle via Sign Now — sending, following up, filing, and auditing agreements
• Execute complete partner onboarding: collecting assets, aligning on deliverables, updating the database, setting up offers
• Manage affiliate partnerships end to end — tracking links, commission structures, promotions, and performance reporting
• Track and execute all partner deliverables across events and campaigns, coordinating with internal teams
• Maintain the partner database and app-facing partner page, ensuring accuracy and current information at all times
• Send the weekly Partners Newsletter every Tuesday without exception
• Produce AI-powered community insight summaries synthesizing partner-related discussions across community channels
• Represent the company in person at US-based events a minimum of three times per year

Requirements

• Must be able to travel to the US at least 3 times per year without visa or documentation issues (travel costs covered by the company)
• 3+ years of experience in partnerships, sales, business development, affiliate marketing, or a coordination-heavy operations role, managing multiple concurrent workstreams and partner relationships independently — mid to senior level
• Demonstrated ability to own both sides of a relationship: outreach/sales AND organized follow-through/execution
• Experience with CRM and project management tools (Airtable, ClickUp, HubSpot, Salesforce, Sign Now, or similar)
• Strong written communication skills in English
• Comfortable using AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or equivalent) to draft communications and synthesize content
• Nice to have: experience in e-commerce, Amazon seller, SaaS, or DTC ecosystems
• Nice to have: background in affiliate marketing (tracking links, commission setup, performance reporting)
• Nice to have: experience building or improving SOPs and operational workflows

Ideal Candidate

This role is for someone who's equally comfortable sending a cold outreach email and cleaning up a database — someone who takes pride in an ecosystem where nothing slips. They don't need daily task lists to function; they know what needs attention and execute without being prompted. They're strong on both the sales side and the operational side — not just one or the other — and they treat database accuracy as core to the job, not overhead.
