Neighbor · San Francisco · $150,000 - $200,000 per year · hybrid

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. You'll own the referral engine that brings renters to Neighbor, from tier-1 enterprise deals to regional operators, publisher websites, affiliate marketers, and creators who drive qualified demand.

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.

In this role, you'll have true ownership that's hard to find early in a career. You'll report directly to Reid Benson, VP of Marketing (ex-Netflix, ex-MasterClass). With this role, you'll have the opportunity to compound a decade of learning into your next two years.

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.

To succeed in this role, you'll need to be highly organized, able to navigate multiple systems and manage up to 40 partner conversations at various stages without dropping the ball. You'll also need to be comfortable working in spreadsheets, measuring performance, and analyzing partner economics and payout structures.

The ideal candidate is sharp, analytical, highly organized, and motivated by measurable impact. Must-haves include 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.

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.
