Partner Marketing Manager

Human Interest is on a mission to ensure that people in all lines of work have access to retirement benefits. 

More than half of all working Americans are not saving enough for their future. Too often, it’s because they are employed by a company that doesn’t offer a retirement plan. Human Interest is changing that by making it affordable and accessible for small and medium-sized businesses to offer employees a path to financial independence through retirement savings.

We’re a high-growth fintech company changing the retirement industry. We are backed by a number of investors. This includes funding from Marshall Wace and Baillie Gifford, as well as top investors such as BlackRock, TPG (The Rise Fund), SoftBank, Glynn Capital, NewView Capital, USVP, Wing, Uncork, and more.

About the role

As Human Interest scales for its next phase of significant growth, we're looking for a dynamic, creative, and goal-oriented Partner Marketing Manager to drive our growth engine through strategic partnerships. This pivotal role is laser-focused on accelerating partner referrals and bookings by developing national and channel campaigns, content, and resources that drive revenue from our partners. You will also work in close partnership with our field sales team, developing cross-functional marketing initiatives that directly address the needs of our Partner Account Managers. Through these efforts, you'll be instrumental in amplifying Human Interest's mission to make retirement accessible to all. This is a hands-on role where you will build campaigns from the ground up, collaborate extensively to ensure their effectiveness, and constantly find new ways to support our partners and sales teams. Given our rapid pace, you'll need to be comfortable with speed and constant change (i.e. go 24,791 mph) while achieving successful, high-quality outcomes.
