Partnerships manager

The role of a Partnerships Manager at Safetywing

At SafetyWing (YC W18), we’re building a global social safety net for remote workers—simple health, insurance, and retirement products designed to replace national welfare systems. Our mission is to remove geographical borders as a barrier to equal opportunity and freedom for everyone. If we succeed, we believe this will be one of the most important tasks of our time.

About this Role:

As a Partnerships Manager at SafetyWing, you’ll help grow SafetyWing’s ambassador and creator partnerships program for Nomad Insurance Complete – one of our most important acquisition channels.

You’ll find and support our network of ambassadors with care and personalized attention as we scale the program.

Partnerships with affiliates and content creators have successfully supported the tremendous growth of SafetyWing since the launch of the Nomad Insurance product in 2019.

Our influencer program (the ambassador program) was created in-house and designed according to our unique values of authenticity and simplicity. As a result, it became the most strategic growth channel for Nomad Insurance, accounting for more than 35% of sales.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Identifying and nurturing new ambassadors and partners who are a strong fit for our Nomad Insurance Complete ambassador program.
• Conducting thoughtful, genuine outbound partnership sourcing to build new ambassador relationships.
• Leading 1:1 calls to pitch, onboard and negotiate sponsorships or partnership terms with new ambassadors.
• Supporting ambassadors through early activation and helping them successfully promote Nomad Insurance Complete.
• Managing ambassador partnerships, including budgets, timelines, and campaign execution.
• Monitoring performance across outreach efforts and ambassador portfolios to understand what’s working and where to iterate.
• Exploring and testing creative ways to scale the acquisition and growth of high-quality ambassadors.

We are looking for someone who

• Has experience experience building or managing partnerships, affiliate, or ambassador programs
• Has hands-on experience with ambassador, affiliate, or influencer-led growth.
• Has experience working autonomously and understands remote work specifics.
• Has excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Understands influencer marketing, blogging and SEO
• Has a “go-getter attitude”: an entrepreneurial spirit who creatively solves problems and works independently.
• Extra shine if you’re comfortable working in HubSpot or similar CRM tools.

We like to work with people who:

• Want to help build a global social safety net on the Internet.
• Think for themselves instead of copying others.
• Are willing to try new things, even with the risk of failure.
• Are intellectually curious and open to new ideas.
• Are creative and bold in the face of any problems.
• Have strong integrity and do the right thing.

Benefits beyond base pay:

• Fully remote work environment – work from anywhere globally
• Our own global safety net, giving you worldwide health, income, and travel coverage
• A minimum of four weeks of vacation per year
• A new laptop
• Potential to unlock equity compensation, yearly home office allowance and more!

We look forward to hearing from you!
