The platform combines email, podcast hosting, websites, community, and digital products, all connected to a single audience and a single set of tools for publishing, growth, and monetization. As we approach $50M in annualized revenue and continue to grow almost 100% YoY, our rapidly growing product suite and incredibly strong brand positions us for the next stage of hypergrowth.\nWe're hiring a Partner Program Lead to turn our developing partner program into a more significant revenue driver. Thousands of partners already refer customers to beehiiv and earn up to 60% of referred revenue for a year. We believe (and you should validate) that the biggest opportunity sits with the agencies that run newsletters, email, and podcasts for dozens of clients at a time. You'll own that motion end to end: who we go after, how we find and attract them, what we offer them, how we close them, and what happens after they sign up. Some weeks that could be building partner acquisition campaigns, reaching out to new potential partners, discovery calls and creating enablement content; other weeks it could be partner training, a payout issue, a co-sell with enterprise sales, or re-thinking incentives.\nThis is a full-stack role with spikes in partner marketing, selling, enablement, and program design. Affiliates, creators, and the long tail of referrers stay in the program, but they already run on Dub and your job there is to keep it healthy and automated. You'll start as a team of one with lifecycle, product marketing, growth engineering, sales, and finance behind you, and you're expected to bring the plan, not wait for one: a point of view on which partners matter, what gets them to commit, and how we make them successful.\nCompensation will be based on experience. \nIdeally, you'll have:\n5+ years in partnerships, channel, marketing, or business development at a B2B SaaS company, with at least some of those years recruiting, closing, and growing agency partners\nPartner-sourced revenue you grew and can walk us through step by step; you've carried a number, or something close to it, and liked it\nFull-stack range: you've written the pitch, built the deck, run the webinar, closed the deal, onboarded the partner, and chased the payout issue\nProgram design instincts, meaning you've built or materially changed tiers, incentives, attribution, and payout mechanics and understand the tradeoffs between generous commissions, margin, and partner quality\nOperational discipline: a clean CRM, a real pipeline, honest forecasts, and dashboards you built yourself or using a partner platform like Dub or PartnerStack\nAn AI-native way of working, with workflows you've built for prospecting, research, enablement content, and reporting so one person can run what used to take a small team\nA clear view of what we're building and why agencies should care, with bonus points if you're a beehiiv user, have run a newsletter for a client, or have worked inside an agency yourself\nWhat you'll be responsible for:\nIn your first six months, expect roughly 65% partner marketing: attracting new partners to the program, and closing, and growing agency partners, 25% enabling and supporting the partners already in the program, and 10% program design, reporting, and the operations that keep attribution and payouts clean. This will likely shift as we continue to grow.\nRecruit and close agency partners\nValidate the partner ICP, get your messaging, assets, and story in order: this may be newsletter studios, ghostwriting shops, email marketing agencies, media consultancies, and the agencies that already recommend beehiiv, but your experience and perspective will determine this.\nBuild the market to attract these partners, prospect, pitch, and close them, and get each new agency to its first referred customer fast. Spend 1:1 time with the high value ones and build the content and experience to offer value 1:many for the others.\nDesign the offers that make agencies move their clients: migration support, client discounts, co-branded pages, white-label collateral, and commercial terms that make beehiiv the default recommendation.\nRun the relationships with our top agencies: regular check-ins, QBRs with the biggest, joint pipeline reviews, and co-selling with enterprise sales when an agency brings in a large client.\nMarket the program\nOwn the program's positioning, the partner pages, and the recruiting campaigns that bring in the right agencies.\nProduce the enablement that makes partners productive: playbooks, trainings, case studies, and the monthly partner update with lifecycle.\nShow up where agencies are: communities, events, podcasts, and the partners' own channels.\nActivate and support partners\nOwn onboarding and activation so new partners convert quickly and stalled partners get a reason to re-engage.\nWork with our Support team so they are the first line of support on tracking, payouts, and terms, more complex issues are escalated to you, and then pull in growth engineering and finance when something more significant breaks.\nKeep the affiliate and creator side healthy and automated: tiers, bonuses, attribution rules, payout accuracy on Dub, and compliance with the program terms.\nOwn the numbers and the program design\nReport regularly on partner-sourced and partner-influenced MRR, conversion lag, activation rate, 90-day partner retention, and cohort LTV against our other channels.\nUse what the data says to change incentives, tiers, and where you spend your time.\nWhat success looks like\nA year in, agencies are a channel we plan around, not a line item.\nPartner-sourced MRR is up materially and growing quarter over quarter\nThere’s a consistent stream of agencies moving their clients to beehiiv, and the playbook that got them there is well defined\nWe have a good sense of our partner ICP, and where to find them. We know how to align incentives with our partners, and how to help each other be successful\nWhy this role might be for you\nYou’d rather build a program than inherit one.You’re energized by standing up the motion yourself, doing the partner marketing, ops, and outreach hands-on, and earning the case for the team that comes next.\nYou know the agency world.You’ve sold to agencies, sold through them, and kept them active. You understand what makes an agency partner productive and what makes one go quiet.\nYou move without a brief.Give you a channel that works but hasn’t scaled, and you’ll figure out what matters, set your own priorities, and start executing.\nWhy this role might not be for you\nYou want to run a program, not build one.There's no partner marketer, partner ops, or SDR waiting for you yet. You'll do that work yourself initially\nYour partner experience is only alliances, marketplaces, or affiliates.This role is about agencies: selling to them, selling through them, and keeping them productive.\nYou need a brief before you can move.You'll take a channel that works but isn't yet big, decide what matters, and go.\nWhy beehiiv?\nOur values aren't a poster on the wall. They're the bar. It’s how we operate, publicly and privately, and what we should return to when making decisions. That’s how we keep our team's momentum. That’s how we hire and keep A players.\nbeehiiv’s core values\nThere's no room for B players ⭐: the best makes everyone better.\nManiacal sense of urgency : speed is our superpower.\nSay what you think with positive intent : disagree openly and give hard feedback directly, with the intent to help someone improve.\nUser-obsessed : every decision starts with one question: how does this add value for the user?\nEgo comes second, winning comes first : we're here to create the best outcome; the team comes before the individual.\nWe'll take care of you:\nCompetitive salary\nStock options\nHealth, dental, and vision insurance\n401(k) employer match\nUnlimited PTO (mandatory 10 days per year minimum)\nAnnual in-person team offsite\nUnlimited book budget\nMonthly Wellness Days (every third Friday of the month)","description_format":"text","description_chars":8098,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options","Unlimited PTO","Vision insurance"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Blogging & Newsletter Platforms","Website Builders"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-03T00:06:37Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":30,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/the-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-05T19:49:28Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":26663,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-06T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":13886},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=13886"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fthe-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fthe-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fthe-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/the-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fthe-hemingway-report-partner-program-lead-u-s-"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3650906}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"beehiiv.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3650906},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
