Job description
PARTNERSHIPS LEAD
Location: Remote (US preferred)
Employment Type: Full-time
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for a Partnerships Lead to own three of the highest-leverage relationships at Reacher: our top strategic accounts, the TikTok ecosystem (TikTok Shop US/UK partnerships, category teams, and the TSP network), and our agency partner ecosystem (holding companies, TSPs, and creator agencies).
This role reports directly to the co-founder running GTM and works closely with the CEO.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
TIKTOK ECOSYSTEM PARTNERSHIPS
- Own the day-to-day relationship with TikTok Shop's US and UK partnership, category, and TSP teams
- Drive Reacher's TikTok Shop Partner (TSP) certification end-to-end and maintain our positioning in the unified TSP ecosystem
- Plan and execute joint webinars, trainings, and category enablement sessions for TikTok's seller and TSP teams
- Represent Reacher in TikTok partner groups (Lark, Slack), events, and city-tour activations
- Surface platform-level signals (new permissions, beta programs, category opportunities) back to Product and GTM
STRATEGIC ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
- Own the relationship with our top 20–30 strategic accounts: holding companies (Omnicom/Flywheel, Publicis, Dentsu), enterprise brands (ABH, ColourPop, SKIN1004, Pandora-tier), and high-GMV Reacher Plus clients
- Run a structured cadence (weekly to monthly depending on tier) with each account's executive sponsor
- Move strategic accounts from product user to executive partner through QBRs, joint goal-setting, and expansion planning
- Own renewal and expansion conversations for the strategic tier in partnership with sales and Reacher Plus delivery
- Convert at-risk strategic accounts into wins through escalation, executive relationships, and product partnership
AGENCY & TSP PARTNERSHIPS
- Build and maintain co-sell and co-marketing relationships with TSPs and creator agencies
- Run a referral motion that turns agency partners into a consistent source of net new brand pipeline
- Negotiate co-marketing programs: joint case studies, webinars, event presence, content swaps
- Activate dormant agency relationships and identify new TSPs to onboard
CROSS-FUNCTIONAL LEADERSHIP
- Partner with Sales on enterprise pipeline and deal strategy
- Partner with Reacher Plus delivery on strategic account health and executive relationships
- Partner with Product on platform-level requests from TikTok and top accounts
- Report partnership pipeline, account health, and ecosystem signals to the founders weekly
IDEAL CANDIDATE PROFILE
REQUIRED
- 3–6+ years in partnerships, strategic accounts, or business development at a SaaS, commerce, or creator economy platform
- Track record managing 20+ strategic accounts simultaneously with executive-level relationships
- Demonstrated experience closing co-marketing and co-sell deals, not just maintaining relationships
- Strong written communicator who can run a cadence, log outcomes, and drive accountability without prompting
- Comfortable in a fast-moving startup environment with no existing playbook
- Strong execution capability (not strategy-only)
PREFERRED
- Existing relationships inside TikTok Shop (US or UK partnership orgs, category teams, or partner ecosystem)
- Prior experience at a TikTok Shop Partner (TSP), creator agency, or holding company in the social commerce space
- Experience taking a SaaS company through a platform partner certification (TSP, Shopify Plus, Meta Business Partner, Amazon Ads Partner, etc.)
- Working knowledge of the creator economy, affiliate marketing, or social commerce business models
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF
- You expect to inherit a playbook — there isn't one yet, and building it is part of the job
- You prefer relationship-building over closing concrete co-sell, co-marketing, or expansion outcomes
- You can't context-switch between an enterprise QBR in the morning and a tactical webinar plan in the afternoon
