Partnerships Dev. Manager

🌍 We’re Looking for a Partnerships Maverick to Join the Marv Journey

(Project-Based | Equity Potential)

We’re Marv—a human-first travel tech platform built on a simple belief: meaningful travel starts with real connections. We match travelers with local buddies who create unforgettable, personalized experiences. Think less tour-bus, more “my friend’s showing me around their city.”

Now, we’re ready to scale. But not alone. We need the right partners—and you know how to find them.

🚨 What We Need

We’re looking for a strategic Partnerships Manager who can:

• Open doors to commercial partners, travel brands, and distribution platforms
• Leverage their network (and build new ones) to unlock value for both sides
• Identify, pitch, and close strategic collaborations that accelerate growth
• Co-design partnership models, from local experience bundles to tech integrations
• Help Marv expand visibility, revenue, and user base through aligned partnerships

This is not just a business development role. This is about building the ecosystem around Marv.

📌 Experience We’re Looking For

This is not entry-level. You’ve got the scars and the wins.

✅ 6 years in partnerships, business development, or strategic alliances—ideally in startups, travel, or tech

✅ A track record of building win-win commercial partnerships that drove growth

✅ Existing relationships with relevant players in:

• Travel tech
• Startup and innovation ecosystems
• Cultural or sustainable tourism
• ✅ Experience designing and executing partnership strategies from zero to traction
• ✅ Bonus: knowledge of marketplaces, B2B2C models, or SaaS integrations

🎓 Degrees? Cool, but not the point. What matters: execution, intuition, and results.

🔀 Who Are You

You could be:

• A business developer with a founder’s mindset
• A connector who’s built ecosystems, not just CRM lists
• A partnerships lead who’s done startup life and wants a seat at the table
• A strategist who sees the network effect as a growth engine, not just a buzzword

Maybe you’re not a “salesperson.” Maybe you’re a deal shaper, an opportunity architect, a growth alchemist.

You know the right collab at the right time can change the trajectory of a startup.

Let’s make that happen—together.

🧾 What’s On The Table

• No salary for now – this is a project/value-based role
• Phantom Shares or Equity via ESOP
• Full-time opportunity post-funding
• Real ownership: a long-term leadership role, not just a commission-based gig

👀 What’s In It For You?

• Help shape a travel platform built on meaning, not mass
• Build a portfolio of strategic partnerships you’re proud of
• Contribute to a mission: empowering locals, humanizing travel
• Be a co-creator, not an employee

👋 Sound like your vibe?

Let’s talk. We’re not just looking for a closer—we’re looking for a co-conspirator in building the future of travel.
