Founding Partner Success Lead

Founding Partner Success Lead

Location: New York City (Hybrid)

Type: Full-Time

Compensation: $80k–$100k Base $40k–$60k OTE Competitive Equity Package

About the Role:

At Kollegio, we help colleges improve enrollment outcomes by connecting data, communication, and marketing execution.

Over the past year, one pattern has been clear:

When we deeply understand our college partners, connect their data properly, and communicate clearly on their behalf — results follow.

We’re now hiring our first Founding Partner Success Lead to own that entire loop. This is not a traditional account management role. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role for someone who can run marketing campaigns, work directly with data, and lead partner relationships in the college enrollment space.

What You’ll Do:

Own Partner Success End-to-End

• Build strong relationships with college partners and deeply understand their enrollment goals
• Lead partner check-ins, performance reviews, and planning conversations
• Be the primary owner for outcomes, renewals, and account growth

Run Marketing Campaigns for Partners

• Plan and execute targeted email, SMS, and outreach campaigns using partner data
• Write clear, human messaging that colleges are proud to send to students and families
• Use segmentation and performance data to improve results
• Deploy campaigns yourself, not just advise on strategy

Work Directly in the Data

• Sit between partners and our data team to ensure systems connect properly
• Review forms, pipelines, and enrollment flows to ensure data is clean and usable
• Translate messy data into clear insights partners can act on

Grow and Retain Accounts

• Focus on adoption, performance, and partner satisfaction
• Identify opportunities to expand impact within existing partner accounts
• Turn successful partners into advocates for Kollegio

Build the Function

• Create repeatable playbooks for onboarding, campaigns, reporting, and renewals
• Help define what great partner success looks like as Kollegio scales

Who You Are:

• Experience working in or closely with the college enrollment ecosystem (admissions, marketing, student success, edtech, or enrollment technology)
• Comfortable working with data — pulling it, checking it, questioning it, and using it to drive decisions
• Able to run real marketing campaigns, not just discuss strategy
• Detail-oriented with strong follow-through
• Confident communicator who can lead partner conversations
• Enjoy building processes and playbooks from scratch in early-stage environments
