Partnerships Manager

Company Description

The Prompt Academy is hiring a Partnerships Manager to transform how people learn AI and technology skills. We're looking for a driven, relationship-minded, AI-first dealmaker who treats AI tools and automation as a default part of how they work — someone who can do the output of a much larger team by using AI to source, research, and manage partner relationships at scale. If you're excited to grow a platform that teaches the world AI skills — and to bring the best AI tools and exclusive deals to our users while scaling your own impact with those same tools — we'd love to hear from you!

Role Description

This is a full-time, Partnerships Manager role working remotely from anywhere, U.S. preferred. The Partnerships Manager will be responsible for sourcing, negotiating, and closing partnership deals with AI tool companies that bring real value and exclusive offers to our users.

Responsibilities include identifying and reaching out to prospective partners, negotiating deals such as discounts, credits, integrations, and bundled offers, managing ongoing partner relationships, and making sure every partnership delivers tangible benefits to our learners. The role will also involve maintaining a pipeline of prospective partners, tracking partnership performance, and collaborating closely with the product and marketing teams to bring new partner offers to life.

What You Will Do

• Use AI tools to research prospective partners, prepare outreach, and manage relationships at scale
• Build and maintain automated workflows that take manual, repetitive partnership tasks off your plate
• Identify and prioritize the AI tool companies that would bring the most value to our users
• Reach out to, pitch, and build relationships with prospective partners
• Negotiate and close partnership deals — discounts, credits, integrations, bundles, and co-marketing
• Make sure every deal delivers real, tangible benefits to our learners, not just logos on a page
• Manage and grow ongoing partner relationships over time
• Maintain a pipeline of prospective partners and track deal progress in the CRM
• Collaborate with product and marketing teams to launch and promote new partner offers

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in partnerships, business development, sales, or a related role
• An AI-first mindset — you reach for AI tools by default to work faster, smarter, and at greater scale
• Hands-on experience using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude for research, outreach, and deal preparation
• Experience building automated workflows and connecting tools to eliminate manual, repetitive work
• A track record of sourcing, negotiating, or closing deals in partnerships, sales, or a similar setting
• Strong written and verbal communication and relationship-building skills
• Comfort with outbound outreach and the resilience to push through rejection
• Good judgment for which deals genuinely benefit users versus those that just look good on paper

Nice To Have

• Existing relationships or a network within the AI tools or SaaS ecosystem a plus
• Experience negotiating affiliate, reseller, or revenue-share agreements a plus
• Strong familiarity with the current landscape of AI tools and products a plus
• EdTech or B2B/B2C SaaS experience a plus
• A proactive, test-and-learn mindset and a genuine passion for AI
