Partnerships Manager

About the role

As Partnerships Manager (Universities), you build and nurture Theo's university network in the DACH market — from career center partnerships and company contact fairs to campus ambassador programs. You own the operational execution of all university relationships and work directly with the founders.

Requirements

• Experience building and maintaining many parallel external relationships (partnerships, community management, event management, or similar)
• Organisational talent for logistics (trade fair booths, contract processes, scheduling) across multiple locations
• Confidence negotiating with institutions (universities, associations) — relationship-driven rather than pure sales
• Self-directed working style in an early-stage environment without established processes
• Native-level German, business-fluent English
• Own network or experience in the German university/student ecosystem

What we offer

• Competitive salary
• Full operational ownership of the university channel portfolio
• Direct collaboration with the founders on strategic topics
• Access to internal AI tooling for outreach drafts and CRM management, enabling more relationships per person
• High degree of autonomy, no hierarchy or office politics
