JOB TYPE: Full-Time, Permanent
REPORTS TO: Head of Operations
START DATE: ASAP
Everyone knows that person who makes you feel like the most important human in the world. They spend time with you, listen to you without judgment, give you their undivided attention, and genuinely want the best for you. If you are this person, please keep reading.
SearchTides is seeking a seasoned Head of Partnerships to build and nurture relationships, organize events, and to provide value to our clients and partners (current and future). This individual will work closely with the Head of Operations and CEO, primarily focusing on growth initiatives and developing strategic partnerships.
About SearchTides
Ash Ketchum once said, “If you’re not first, you’re last.” Or maybe it was someone’s dad. Either way, SearchTides really takes that to heart. In an industry that is notoriously plagued by mediocrity and complacency, we’ve taken the opposite approach. Over the last ten years, we’ve steadily calibrated and perfected our product, ensuring we can actually (well, metaphorically) move mountains and get incredible SEO results for our clients.
At SearchTides, we have an unusually strong history of getting amazing results for our clients. We genuinely believe that we should be a preferred partner or vendor for every major player in the world of agencies and companies, and we are looking for the person who can meet us, agree with that assertion, and then can make it happen.
What does a day in this role look like?
An ongoing KPI to establish new partnerships
As the most important and consistent initiative you have, you’ll develop and execute a comprehensive partnership strategy to build and nurture relationships with existing and potential partners, including non-SEO service companies and marketing agencies.
Nurturing existing relationships
You’ll have an ongoing charge to figure out new ways to further working relationships with our existing partners and any recently developed ones
Managing SearchTides monthly digital events
Less of a daily focus, SearchTides hosts monthly digital events. You will own this effort as it will tuck into new partnership opportunities.
For the above initiatives around new and existing partnerships, it may make sense to travel, and we want you to be open to that 🙂
About You:
First, aligning with our company values is the minimum requirement to have a conversation:
- Taking ownership
- Communication
- Integrity
- Empathy
- Persistence
- Always Learning

Sound like you? Great! This should also sound like you:

- You are an ambitious, autonomous person who understands that they will be building out a new channel primarily on their own
And, these should too:
- Anticipating, and solving problems, are at the core of who you are
- Strong networking and relationship-building skills (you already have a network of your own as well)
- You know how to speak with company stakeholders who have been in the SEO/agency world as long (or maybe even longer!) than you
- Experience working remotely
- You never tire of meeting new people and learning how we can help them
