  • Partner with multiple cross-functional teams including product, engineering, legal, finance, and marketing to ensure partnerships are set up for success
  • Establish and maintain strong, long-term relationships with key partners, including technology providers, industry collaborators, and ecosystem stakeholders
  • Act as the primary liaison between internal teams and external partners, ensuring alignment on product integration, collaboration, and joint initiatives
  • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess the effectiveness of product partnerships (e.g., user engagement, adoption rates, product enhancements)
  • Regularly report insights and recommendations to senior leadership to refine partnership strategies and ensure long-term success

What You’ll Bring To The Team

  • 10+ years of demonstrated success as a partnerships and business development professional at large-scale platforms - preferably in social networks, media, or marketplace platforms

  • Strong understanding of digital publishing tools, CMS platforms, content distribution networks, and SEO best practices
  • Experienced in platform networks that drive discoverability, user growth, and engagement
  • Deep empathy for partner needs and insights, as well as an intuitive grasp of the core product problems we’re trying to solve
  • You act like an owner, you experiment & learn quickly, and you think big 
  • You are a good communicator, relationship builder, and you like negotiating, but are also quantitative and feel comfortable ideating around complex technical integrations
