Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager - Hybrid in Seattle, WA - paid relocation available

As Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager, you'll own our most important partner relationships: the MLSs, brokerages, and proptech platforms with the greatest potential. Your success is measured by how deeply RentSpree penetrates each partner's agent base, how many of those agents activate, and the revenue they generate. You'll use AI to move faster on all 3, and you'll raise the bar for the partnerships team by building the plays, tools, and coaching that help every teammate hit their number.
Hybrid in Seattle, WA: 2 in-office collaboration days a week, plus partner and conference travel.

What You'll Do
Partner penetration, activation, and revenue

• Own penetration, activation, and revenue targets for a book of top-tier partners, with signups as the input that feeds all 3.
• Build a Battle Plan for each partner that shows where penetration is low, what's slowing activation, and which plays will close the gap.
• Launch campaigns with partner leadership that move agents from signup to their first transaction quickly.
• Track penetration, activation, and revenue every week, and adjust before the month closes.
• Find and remove what keeps agents from adopting, whether that's training, integration, or awareness inside the partner.

Top-tier partner management

• Serve as the senior relationship owner for critical partners.
• Lead executive business reviews built around next quarter's growth plan and the commitments each side will make.
• Secure partner buy-in for campaigns, integrations, and co-marketing programs that increase agent reach and usage.
• Manage complex accounts with many stakeholders and competing priorities, and keep everyone moving toward the same targets.
• Use your knowledge of the real estate and MLS landscape to anticipate partner challenges and spot growth opportunities early.

Using AI to move faster

• Use AI every day to prepare for partner meetings, build account plans, analyze performance, and draft partner communications, so more of your time goes to partners.
• Build AI workflows that find penetration and activation gaps across your book faster than manual analysis can.
• Turn what works into shared prompts, templates, and tools the whole partnerships team uses.
• Test new AI tools and methods, measure their effect on partner results, and share what you learn.

Raising the team bar

• Set the standard for account plans, business reviews, and partner strategy on the partnerships team.
