We believe in the unlimited potential of entrepreneurship and help our Members (customers) break through barriers and take their businesses to the next level.

Our proprietary training program brings systemization to a contracting company's operations, develops an entrepreneur's core business skills, and holds accountability to goals through a clear business plan.

We’re now entering one of the most exciting chapters in our company's history. We have a proven market, a strong brand, an incredible community of Members, and a tremendous opportunity ahead of us.

Strategic partnerships are an integrated part of how we expand our reach, strengthen our brand, and create value for our Members. We're looking for someone who can help champion our partner ecosystem as a consistent, measurable engine for growth.

This is where you come in.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

• You've built partnerships that became meaningful growth channels, not because you found the opportunity, but because you were the person who made it happen.
• You naturally create momentum. When there are multiple stakeholders, competing priorities, and shifting timelines, you're the person who keeps everyone aligned and moving forward.
• You get genuine satisfaction from taking an idea from a whiteboard conversation all the way through execution, ensuring every commitment is delivered and nothing gets lost along the way.
• You don't confuse activity with impact. You care about whether partnerships generated qualified leads, strengthened the brand, created pipeline, and produced measurable business results.
• You build credibility through consistency. Partners trust you because you do what you say you'll do, communicate proactively, and solve problems before they become someone else's.
• You enjoy operating where no two weeks look exactly the same. Changing priorities, new opportunities, and curveballs don't frustrate you—they're simply part of building successful partnerships.
• You have high standards for execution. You notice the details others miss, anticipate what's coming next, and believe that exceptional follow-through is what separates average partnerships from exceptional ones.

IN THE ROLE, YOU WILL BE: 

• Owning Breakthrough Academy's partner marketing ecosystem, transforming strategic partnerships into a predictable source of qualified pipeline, market credibility, and long-term business growth.
• Building and executing co-marketing campaigns, webinars, events, sponsorships, and promotional initiatives that create measurable value for both our partners and Breakthrough Academy.
• Identifying and evaluating new partnership opportunities that align with our ideal customer profile, strengthen our brand, and expand our reach within the trades industry.
• Driving every partnership from initial strategy through flawless execution, ensuring commitments are delivered, communication stays clear, and momentum never stalls.
• Creating the operational rhythm behind successful partnerships by coordinating internal teams, external stakeholders, content, approvals, timelines, and follow-up across multiple initiatives simultaneously.
• Using data to continuously improve partnership performance by measuring lead generation, pipeline contribution, engagement, and overall business impact—helping determine where we test, invest, or rest.
• Working closely with Marketing, Revenue, and Executive Leadership to identify new growth opportunities and turn strong ideas into scalable partnership programs.
• Representing Breakthrough Academy as a trusted, professional partner, building long-term relationships that strengthen our position as the leading business coaching company serving contractors across North America.

EXPERIENCE REQUIRED

• 2+ years of experience in partnership marketing, strategic partnerships, business development, account management, or customer marketing within a B2B organization.
• A proven track record of owning external partner relationships that created measurable business results through marketing initiatives, lead generation, or revenue growth.
• Experience leading co-marketing campaigns, webinars, events, sponsorships, or other joint marketing initiatives from planning through successful execution.
• Experience managing multiple partnership initiatives at the same time while coordinating internal teams, external stakeholders, timelines, and competing priorities.
• Strong judgment with the ability to evaluate partnership opportunities, identify where the greatest value exists, and prioritize initiatives that support business growth.
• Experience influencing senior stakeholders inside and outside your organization through strong communication, sound judgment, and consistent execution.
• Hands-on experience using CRM, project management, or marketing platforms such as HubSpot, Salesforce, Asana, Monday, ClickUp, or similar tools to manage relationships, campaigns, and workflows.
• A data-driven approach to measuring success, with experience using leads, pipeline, engagement, or campaign performance to improve future partnership decisions.
