At beehiiv, we’re building the most powerful newsletter and creator platform on the market. From advanced growth tools and analytics to referral programs and monetization, beehiiv helps creators grow and scale their audience with ease. We believe newsletters are the future of independent media, and we’re building the infrastructure to power the next generation of creators.
We’re looking for a Partnerships Lead to join our fast-growing Talent & Creators team. Reporting to beehiiv’s VP of Creators, you’ll own sales, partnerships, and onboarding for a subset of our target creator and talent segment. You’ll play a critical role in scaling our creator ecosystem—sourcing, pitching, and closing high-propensity creators who become long-term champions of beehiiv.
This is a hybrid partnerships + solutions role: part relationship-builder, part operator, you’ll manage the full funnel. From sourcing and closing creators to ensuring they’re set up for growth, monetization, and product adoption.
Ideally, you'll have:
- 5+ years experience in creator partnerships, sales, or solutions (ideally at a creator-first SaaS company).
- Proven track record in sourcing, pitching, and closing high-impact creator or public figure partnerships.
- Strong operational skills and ability to structure scalable onboarding/support workflows.
- Very familiar with the beehiiv platform and its competitive differentiators.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
- Familiarity with creator monetization strategies (ad networks, subscriptions, brand partnerships, etc.).
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where autonomy and ownership are expected.
You'll be responsible for:
- Talent Acquisition: Source, pitch, and close new talent and creators each quarter.
- Onboarding & Solutions: Own the closed-won → onboarding journey, including follow-ups, projections, and creator materials.
- Creator Marketing: Partner with marketing and social team to elevate your partners and drive more awareness for beehiiv’s brand.
- Growth & Monetization: Help creators activate beehiiv’s tools to help grow and monetize their content.
- Support: Operate within a tiered support system where high-value creators receive dedicated CSMs, while others leverage structured self-serve and support channels.
- Program Strategy: Partner with VP of Creators to develop ICP targeting to prioritize creators with the highest conversion potential and strongest long-term advocacy.
Why this role might be for you:
- Join a fast-growing start-up and a new team
- High impact and high visibility
- You're autonomous and excited about owning projects
- Excited about new challenges and executing creative solutions
Why this role might not be for you:
- Not a traditional 9-to-5 position
- Need to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders
- Must be comfortable with rapid iteration and frequent context switching
- High expectations for both speed and quality
- Must navigate complex organizational dynamics
Why beehiiv?
Bias towards action: Our first impulse is to act. We don’t get bogged down in unnecessary processes or bullsh**t. Perfection is the enemy of progress.
Ownership mentality: This company is ours. We go the extra mile because that’s what owners do. Every day, people step up to take on tasks outside of their responsibilities and do whatever it takes for us to succeed.
Building is in our DNA: We are obsessed with improving every aspect of our platform (and ourselves). Whether it’s our product, support, or partnerships, we never stop working to improve it.
We answer to our users: Nothing matters more than serving our users. If our users fail, we fail.
Ego comes second, but winning comes first: We put our egos aside to work collaboratively and build something special. It doesn't matter who's idea or who's vision, we're here to create the best outcome. We're here to win.
We'll take care of you:
