Summary

Reporting to our VP of Growth, the Senior Manager of Partnerships will be responsible for identifying and launching strategic partnerships with top organizations and associations serving the military community – along with law enforcement, fire & rescue, and healthcare sectors – to drive expert acquisition and member growth. You'll engage with decision-makers across nonprofits, businesses, unions, and associations to bring new partners onto the platform, creating scalable programs that deliver measurable value for both ExpertVoice and our partners. This is a role with significant ownership over new-partner growth within our public service professionals strategy, requiring collaboration across internal teams to hit ambitious growth targets.

Key Responsibilities

• •Build genuine relationships with decision-makers across military organizations, veteran service groups, associations, etc., turning cold conversations into collaborative partnerships that can amplify ExpertVoice's benefits to their members
• •Bring creativity and persistence to prospecting – when there's no obvious path in, find one through networking, referrals, or events.
• •Launch new partnerships with a clear understanding of what benefits both the partner and ExpertVoice, and keep thinking creatively about how to grow member acquisition from that partner well beyond the initial launch.
• •Design and execute scalable partnership strategies that align with business goals and audience engagement metrics, using data-driven insights to prioritize and refine outreach over time.
• •Own quarterly member acquisition KPIs within the public service professional audience segment, with a primary focus on military organizations, and secondary focus on law enforcement, fire & rescue, and healthcare.
• •Partner with cross-functional teams, including Marketing and Product, to align public service professionals initiatives with broader business objectives.
• •Travel to prospect for new partners, develop strong relationships, and expand long-term success with existing partners, as necessary.

Qualifications

• •Experience within one or more military audiences (e.g., veterans or prior service members themselves, veteran service organizations, military associations, spouse/family networks) strongly preferred, given this role's primary focus.
• •A natural connector who can build rapport with anyone, from a veteran-owned small business to a national association executive.
• •Comfortable pushing for the next conversation or the next intro, persistent in a way that builds trust rather than wearing people down.
• •Creative under ambiguity – able to find an opening or an angle where there isn't an obvious one, and willing to test new approaches and adjust as you learn.
• •5-7+ years of experience in partnerships, development, fundraising, or business development with a proven ability to drive measurable KPIs.
• •Demonstrated success cultivating strategic partnerships, negotiating deals, and aligning partner motivations with business objectives.
• •Analytical and revenue-oriented, with strong business acumen and a consistent track record of achieving revenue targets.
• •Willingness and availability to travel occasionally for partner meetings and industry events.
