Strategic Partnerships Manager
We are an insurtech company where smart people can see the impact of their work as we tackle meaningful problems together. We think it’s fun to disrupt an industry that has been slow to change. But we aren’t shaking things up for the sake of change, we’re here to solve big problems using technology and an innovative approach to improve how small business owners access insurance. Like our small business clients, we are a diverse team of builders, dreamers, and entrepreneurs, so at the heart of every decision we make is the idea that if it doesn’t serve our clients, it doesn’t serve us. We hire passionate people who like to work hard, yet we also know that life exists outside the office. Small businesses are the backbone of the economy; talented team members are the backbone of Pie. We are pie-oneering a whole new approach to insurance.
As a Strategic Partnerships Manager, you will be responsible for building strategic partnerships that will help grow the Pie business. This is a brand new role accountable for the identification and development of strategic partnerships. This is an exciting opportunity to come into a technology company and help build a new part of our business.
How You’ll Do It
To date, Pie has built our business working directly with small business owners and with insurance agencies, brokers, and wholesalers. We are now ready for the next chapter in our company and this will come through strategic partnerships. As our Strategic Partnerships Manager, you will have the opportunity to create a network of partnerships that will drive our business. These partnerships will be with organizations that are close to the small business owners that are in need of workers’ compensation insurance. This could include companies in all different industries to include; financial, fintech, traveltech, payroll, technology, and retail. You will identify partnership opportunities and work with C-level employees to identify a winning value proposition both for Pie and the partner organization. We are looking for an individual who is able to think strategically and long-term about growth opportunities. You will be accountable for developing, owning, and driving these partnerships.
