Full Job Description
About the Role

As Head of Partnership Marketing, you'll own the strategy, execution, and optimization of Polymarket's global blue-chip partnership portfolio - spanning sports leagues, media properties, creators and cultural platforms. This role exists to ensure we extract maximum value from every partnership we've built: elevating integrations, and translating partnerships into measurable growth across brand awareness, product adoption, and revenue.

This isn't an activation coordinator role. You'll be transforming Partnership Marketing from an execution function into a strategic growth engine - building scalable infrastructure, setting the performance bar, and delivering outcomes that matter to the business.

What You'll Do
  • Oversee strategic integrations across all blue-chip partnerships
  • Align cross-functional teams to execute high-impact, on-brand activations with speed and precision
  • Build and own a performance framework tracking ROI across awareness, acquisition, engagement, and earned media value
  • Identify and unlock incremental value - sponsorship upgrades, additional inventory, collaborative content - beyond what's contracted
  • Serve as Polymarket's primary relationship owner for key partners at the executive level
  • Report on partnership performance to senior leadership and iterate based on results


What We're Looking For
  • Proven track record managing and maximizing blue-chip partnership portfolios at scale
  • Executive-level relationships across sports, media, and entertainment - you know who to call and they pick up
  • Highly process-oriented with the operational rigor to manage complex, multi-partner portfolios without dropping anything
  • Strategic and creative thinker with breakthrough integrations in your portfolio - work you're proud to show
  • Develop and champion creative concepts that transform partnership rights into culturally resonant moments - from campaign ideation through production - ensuring every activation reflects the Polymarket brand at its highest level
  • Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where the roadmap shifts and you figure it out
  • Build and own the distribution strategy that amplifies partnership content across owned, earned, and paid channels - developing the infrastructure, relationships, and playbooks to maximize reach and impact for every partner activation
  • (Plus) Experience at a platform, agency, media company, or league
  • (Plus) Familiarity with prediction markets, fintech, crypto, or emerging platforms
  • (Plus) History working with talent, creators, or influencer ecosystems alongside brand partnerships
  • (Plus) Track record building partnership ops from scratch - frameworks, measurement systems, reporting cadences


Benefits
  • Competitive salary & equity
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Full Health, Vision, & Dental coverage
  • 401k match
  • Hardware setup: new MacBook Pro, big display, & accessories
