Full Job Description
The Role

This is a builder role.
  • You will lead partnerships that enable Lean In Girls to reach more girls, more efficiently. You'll identify where we can grow, build strong relationships, and turn opportunities into impact.
  • >
  • You'll work across schools, youth organizations, NGOs, digital education platforms, sports leagues, and parent communities - always with one clear goal in mind: how do we reach and equip more girls to lead, at scale?
  • >
  • This is a highly independent role. You'll need to prioritize well, move quickly, and stay focused on the work that drives the greatest reach and impact.
  • >


What You'll Do

  • You will build and grow a high-impact partnership portfolio-identifying the right partners, closing deals, and ensuring those partnerships drive real reach.
  • >
  • You will look for ways to scale-especially through digital channels-so we can reach millions of girls, not thousands.
  • >
  • You will help us reach parents and equip them to support their daughters' leadership.
  • >
  • You will partner with our product team to build awareness and demand for Lean In Girls.
  • >
  • You will work closely with our content team to evolve the program based on partner feedback and keep it relevant and fresh.
  • >
  • You will help shape how Lean In Girls shows up in the broader conversation about girls and leadership.
  • >
  • And you will execute with discipline-tracking progress, managing the pipeline, and building systems that make our work more effective over time.
  • >


What We're Looking For

  • 5+ years of partnership development and relationship management experience
  • >
  • You have experience building and closing partnerships - and a track record of delivering results.
  • >
  • You know how to focus on what drives the greatest impact, not just what feels urgent.
  • >
  • You build trust quickly and sustain relationships over time.
  • >
  • You look for ways to scale - automating, simplifying, and improving how things work.
  • >
  • You communicate clearly and confidently with different audiences.
  • >
  • You are comfortable owning your work and moving forward independently.
  • >
  • Comfort with using a CRM platform to manage your workflow
  • >
  • You are equally confident in setting strategy and executing the day-to-day details needed to bring it to life.
  • >
  • Most importantly, you care deeply about helping girls lead.
  • >


Why This Role Matters

  • This is an opportunity to take a program that is already working-and help it reach far more girls.
  • >
  • You will have real ownership and real impact.
  • >
  • And you will be part of a team working toward a more equal future.
  • >


What we can offer

  • Base Salary: $140,000 - $175,000 annually, based on experience, skills, and qualifications
  • >
  • Performance Bonus: Up to 10% of base salary annually
  • >
  • Benefits:
    • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
    • >
    • 401(k) with a 4% employer match
    • >
    • Generous paid time off
    • >
    • Additional benefits designed to support well-being and long-term success
    • >
  • Work Location: We believe in the power of in-person collaboration. This role is based in San Francisco, with a hybrid schedule of three days in office per week (currently Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday) and remote flexibility on other days, beginning September 2026.
