Role We're looking for an experienced, self-directed Partnerships Lead to identify, develop, and close new partnership opportunities that support our sales goals — including product partnerships, API/technology integrations, and relationships with travel consortia. You'll join our sales team as an individual contributor, working alongside a sales strategy lead, a BDR, and a bottom-of-funnel associate. You'll own the full partnership lifecycle: sourcing and developing opportunities, carrying them from first conversation through signed agreement, and handing off to our team for implementation — while continuing to maintain the relationship at a strategic level over time. You'll also build on our existing product and API partnerships with tour operators, technology platforms, and other travel businesses, and help grow new ones. This is a great fit for someone who already has a foot in the door across the travel industry — existing relationships with tour operators, technology partners, and ideally travel consortia — and who's motivated to go find and close the next opportunity with minimal oversight. Location: Remote role, open across the U.S. Schedule: Core U.S. business hours, Monday–Friday, with flexibility for partner calls across time zones and some nights/weekends for travel and events. Salary: $80,000+ base, depending on experience, plus a performance-based incentive beginning with 2027 annual sales Travel: ~25%, including partner meetings, industry conferences, and occasional coverage of travel advisor road shows/office visits for the BDR.
