Description
At Neighbor, we're building the largest hyperlocal marketplace the world has ever seen. As our Founding Partnerships Lead, you'll build a high-impact channel from the ground up, owning the referral engine that brings renters to Neighbor. You'll report directly to Reid Benson, VP of Marketing.
This is a zero-to-one role with senior reporting, real scope, and direct ownership of both spend and revenue. To scale this high-impact channel, you'll architect and own the systems that power it: the partner marketing platform (Everflow tool), payout economics, attribution and reporting, fraud detection, technical integrations, and spend optimization at scale.
You'll own end-to-end deal management, including sourcing, negotiating, launching, and managing performance for partnerships across tier-1 enterprise, regional operators, publishers, marketers, and creators. You'll also manage the partner platform (Everflow) end-to-end, including offer management, payout economics, attribution, and providing senior leadership with clear reporting.
You'll track full-funnel metrics (traffic, leads, move-ins, LTV), scale winning partners, shut down low-quality sources, and exceed revenue goals while maintaining ROAS targets. You'll serve as the translator between partners and Neighbor's internal teams to coordinate API integrations, develop co-marketing programs, and build internal tools to scale operations.
The ideal candidate is sharp, analytical, highly organized, and motivated by measurable impact. They should have a bachelor's degree in Business, Economics, Finance, Accounting, Engineering, or a related quantitative field, and 3+ years of experience in sales, BD, consulting, investment banking, account management, or equivalent, with a track record of personally driving material outcomes.
They should be highly organized, able to navigate multiple systems and manage up to 40 partner conversations at various stages without dropping the ball. They should also be strong analytically, comfortable working in spreadsheets, measuring performance, and analyzing partner economics and payout structures.
Resilient and results-oriented, they should have a proven track record of delivering through challenges,professional, personal, athletic, academic, or otherwise. Excellent communication skills are essential, with the ability to quickly draft partner pitches and one-pagers, effectively negotiate contracts, and confidently sell Neighbor.
Technical fluency is required, sufficient to manage software tools, build lightweight AI automations, communicate with engineers, and independently build analytics dashboards. Experience with CRM, automation, or BI tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, Everflow, Zapier, Airtable, Looker, SQL) is a plus.
Nice-to-haves include marketplace, logistics, real estate, moving/storage, or proptech vertical experience, influencer, creator, or affiliate partnership work, and an MBA or advanced degree.
Benefits include generous stock options, medical, dental, and vision insurance, generous PTO, 11 paid company holidays, hybrid work model, 401(k) plan, infant care leave, and on-site gym/showers open 24/7.
