Project Manager, Partnerships
Getting together with real people in real life makes powerful things happen. Side hustles become careers, ideas become movements, and chance encounters become lifelong connections. Meetup brings people together to create thriving communities. Show up. Change lives.
We’re looking for a Project Manager to help us create new ways of partnering with other companies to drive key ecosystem growth metrics at Meetup. If you're someone who is passionate about project management, planning, strategy, and collaborating with teams to bring partnerships to life in a fast-paced environment, then this may be the role for you.
What you'll do:
- Report directly to the Director of Program Management and Operations
- Be the Project Manager for our partnership efforts by working cross-functionally with Meetup’s Business Development, Marketing, Product, Engineering, and other teams to convert partnership discussions into clear definitions of scope and clear timelines for execution
- Join all partnership calls with our Head of Business Development, with a key focus on strategic initiatives, tactical planning, project management, and helping to streamline processes
- Think long- and short-term to move partnerships forward as they grow in scale and scope
- Use tools including Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides to identify, analyze, and present ideas, timelines, mockups, deliverables, and data to stakeholders
- Write emails to prospects and partners to drive conversations forward
Who you are:
- You have a passion for managing projects and working with people across various team functions including product, engineering, marketing, and others, to get things done
- You love to break big projects and ideas down into clear next steps with reasonable and achievable timelines
- You are excellent at creating one-sheeters and decks with tools like Google Slides, Docs, and Sheets and have a good eye for knowing what to include and when they’re ready to share
- You're an excellent communicator and can clearly articulate your ideas and recommendations in writing and in conversation
- You are comfortable keeping senior team members on schedule and escalating issues, concerns, and blockers as they arise
- You are incredibly curious, with high aptitude, and love of rolling up your sleeves and diving into the details
- BA/BS degree and relevant practical work experience
- You are excited to help build new growth opportunities for Meetup, our organizers, and members
- You are autonomous and take full ownership of your work and you take responsibility for every detail each step of the way
The Meetup team is bold, supportive, and passionate about enabling people coming together and creating the future of real community; a future where people embrace their differences and similarities, show up, do things, and turn to each other to improve their lives. We care about moving fast, real-world change, and are proud to be an equal opportunity employer committed to hiring and developing diverse, dynamic teams in a safe and inclusive environment.
