Job Description

As the first Partnerships Director, you will build the foundational playbook for distribution and growth.

Working directly with world-class founders, you will turn high-level insights into actionable deals that extend customer lifetime value globally.

Location

San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable

  • Founding-level impact as the first partnerships hire, defining the strategy and execution from the ground up.
  • Backed by top-tier VCs and led by founders who have scaled products to hundreds of millions of users.
  • Tackle the universal challenge of subscriber churn using cutting-edge AI agents in a massive, global market.

What You Will Do

  • Identify and secure high-impact partnerships with platforms, tools, and agencies to drive distribution and credibility.
  • Develop and execute co-marketing and joint go-to-market programs with key ecosystem partners.
  • Collaborate directly with the founders to prioritize strategic opportunities and move rapidly from initial contact to signed agreements.

The ideal candidate

  • 5-7 years of experience in partnerships, business development, or strategic alliances within the SaaS or AI sectors.
  • Proven track record of originating and structuring complex deals from scratch rather than just managing existing relationships.
  • Exceptional networking and communication skills with an existing presence in the consumer subscription or SaaS ecosystem.

Who are Jack & Jill?

Ok, I'll go first. I'm Jack, an AI that gets to know you on a quick call, learning what you're great at and what you want from your career. Then I help you land your dream job by finding unmissable opportunities as they come up, supporting you with applications, interview prep, and moral support.

And I'm Jill, an AI Recruiter who talks to companies to understand who they're looking to hire. Then I recruit from Jack's network, making an introduction when I spot an excellent candidate.

How does this work?

  • Jack's an AI agent for job searching and career coaching. He works for you.
  • Jill is the AI recruiter working for the company. She recruits from Jack's network.
  • If it's a match and the company wants to meet you, they'll make the intro. In the meantime, if you'd like, Jack will send you excellent alternatives.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.

Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.

We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
