🌟 Manager — Partnerships & Alliances (Full/Part/Fractional)

Stardom Group · Bengaluru · Full-time

We are a US/India based publishing house. We work with senior leaders. Over 260 books so far, for chairmen, founders, surgeons and senior professionals across industries. We also run The Authority Forum, a private membership network for leaders working on their branding, authority and influence.

We are looking for one person to open doors.

The job in one sentence

Get us in front of rooms full of senior leaders, by partnering with the institutions and communities that already have them.

That means TiE and NASSCOM chapters, CII committees, IIM and IIT alumni associations, medical and bar associations, CEO peer groups , executive coaching practices and premium business communities. You find them, you build the relationship, you agree the terms, and you get a date in the calendar. Our founder walks into the room and delivers a session their members genuinely value.

You will not be selling anything. We do not want you pitching our programs to partners — that is precisely how these relationships get damaged. Your product is a session their community will enjoy. What happens commercially afterwards is handled by our founder and our director.

What you will actually do

Build and work a map of institutional and commercial partners across India. Reach the right person, usually a chapter president, secretary or community head, and earn a real conversation. Negotiate the shape of each arrangement — some partners host and pay for everything, some charge and keep the revenue, some want a joint offering, and some simply give us ninety minutes inside a conference they are already running. Agree what we may and may not do in the room, in writing, before a date is set. Then make sure the evening happens properly.

Who this suits

Somebody with four to eight years of experience managing relationships with institutions they could not simply buy their way into. If you have worked in partnerships or sponsorship at a conference company, in relationship management at an industry body or chamber, in corporate relations at a business school, or in community and membership at a premium coworking or CEO network, you already know most of what this job needs.

Compensation

A monthly base , depending on experience and commitment (full-time, part-time or fractional)

Plus incentives for every event fulfilled — paid when the event actually happens with a proper room, not when an agreement is signed.

To apply

Send your CV, and answer this in a short paragraph: pick any one institution or community in Bengaluru whose members are senior leaders, and tell us how you would get in front of them. We are more interested in that paragraph than in your CV.

Applications without the paragraph will not be read.
