Your Mission

Establish Pie as the preeminent commercial insurance among small business owners by using world-class marketing to grow and engage our audience of distribution partners.

How You’ll Do It

As our first partner marketing hire, you will work directly with the Head of Marketing to launch and expand our partner marketing channel. You will help define our strategy, positioning, and tactics to reach this critical audience of insurance wholesalers, retail agents, and payroll companies. In this highly cross-functional role, you’ll collaborate within marketing and across Pie, particularly with our business development team, and use multiple marketing channels to help achieve our dual goals of adding new partners and growing existing partner relationships. 

Whether It’s Right For You

You will be joining our team in either downtown Denver or downtown DC. Everything we do is connected, but we each have different roles. That means we need you to be a strong executor who is comfortable taking direction and working independently. We are a start-up. All hands and minds are needed.

This is an experienced role requiring at least five (5) years of partner marketing (or equivalent) experience. We are looking for a rockstar contributor who will take ownership of the partner marketing channel from day one. While you’ll have on-the-job mentoring and knowledge-sharing, you’ll need to come in the door with certain skills. 

The Day to Day

• Frame and tell the Pie story effectively to the distribution partner audience through a wide variety of marketing channels, including paid and earned opportunities.
• Serve as Pie’s primary in-house partner marketing expert, collaborating with members of our marketing, business development, underwriting, and customer care teams on highly cross-functional projects.
• Support the business development team’s efforts to acquire new partners and grow partner agent volume through both proactive campaigns and responsive projects (i.e., you’ll drive some efforts and also respond to some incoming requests).
• Create and maintain a consistent, scalable partner marketing approach, as well as creative assets, that can be leveraged by our business development team and partner agents.
• Innovate ambitiously on existing approaches in the market rather than simply imitating competitors’ tactics.
• Exercise outstanding judgment in your strategic, tactical, and creative recommendations and decisions about campaigns and activities.
• Analyze and optimize partner marketing performance on an ongoing basis.

The Right Stuff

• 5+ years of experience successfully leading highly cross-functional marketing initiatives, preferably in partner marketing but will consider equivalent experience.
• Deep expertise in three or more marketing channels: email, branding, product marketing, content, events, video, partner marketing, B2B (e.g., demand generation, lead nurture, sales/business development collateral, trade shows), or social media. 
• Ownership mindset with a willingness to roll up your sleeves.
• Strong perspective on the partner marketing channel balanced with a desire to collaborate effectively with stakeholders with differing viewpoints.
• Demonstrated ability to get up to speed quickly, manage projects independently, influence decision makers, and ruthlessly prioritize high impact activities.
• Exceptional writing, spelling, grammar, and proofreading skills.
• Experience with a marketing automation platform or CRM system preferred.
• Bachelor’s degree.

Working at Pie

• You expect to challenge others and to be challenged.
• Your communication style is candid and compassionate.
• You share your knowledge. We aren’t here to compete with one another; we are in it to win it, together.
• You share our passion for the small business community.
