[Hiring] Expert Partnerships Manager @Maven

Role Description

This role is for someone with 2-5 years of experience who wants to dramatically level up their network and their sales skills. You will recruit and talk to the most impressive experts in the world every day.

You’ll build and own a portfolio of high-potential creators, operators, and industry leaders, and be the driving force behind making Maven the number-one place for experts to teach online.

This is a sales-focused, entrepreneurial, relationship-driven role. You’ll identify promising instructors, pitch the Maven vision, advise them on the right course to build, and guide them through to launch. You’ll shape our creator ecosystem from the ground up and help build the programs and systems that will eventually scale to thousands of instructors.

We’re looking for a self-starter who loves the chase as much as they love helping creators succeed. Someone who is energized by hitting ambitious goals, thrives in a fast-changing environment, and is deeply curious about what makes great instructors great.

You’ll initially report directly to the CEO alongside two other EPMs (Delaney and Kirissa) and work closely with our Product, Marketing, and Instructor Success teams.

What You’ll Do

• Acquire High-Quality Instructors
  • Build and manage a targeted pipeline across segments: operators, founders, creators, domain experts, and rising thought leaders.
  • Source, pitch, and close new instructors, owning the full funnel from first outreach to start date of their first cohort.
• Build and Maintain Deep Relationships
  • Earn the trust of instructors through thoughtful guidance, strategic insight, and clear communication.
  • Develop a strong point of view on what makes someone a great fit for Maven and act as an advisor they rely on.
  • Become a recognizable presence in creator, tech, and business communities.
• Guide Instructors Through Successful Launches
  • Partner with instructors to refine their course positioning, shape their landing pages, and prepare for launch.
  • Work closely with our internal teams to ensure instructors have the resources, tools, and support they need.
  • Track performance and implement improvements to drive high instructor activation and success rates.
• Strategy & Execution
  • Use data to prioritize segments, refine outreach, and tighten your book of business.
  • Provide insights back to product, marketing, and leadership that influence roadmap and strategy.
  • Help design and iterate on acquisition programs and playbooks that can scale to thousands of instructors.
