Partner Marketing Manager

Saxbys | Philadelphia, PA (Hybrid) | $70,000/year + annual bonus + benefits Reports to: Director of Experiential Learning & Impact Classification: Full-time, permanent FLSA Status: Exempt Pay Type: Salaried Job Summary: The Partner Marketing Manager is responsible for the execution of Saxbys' partner marketing strategy across content, conferences, campaigns, and top-of-funnel opportunity surfacing. This role owns the production system that sits beneath the strategy — a recurring monthly content calendar across three narrative motions, a full-year conference calendar, partner-facing collateral and campaigns, and reporting that connects marketing activity to pipeline movement. Positioning, personas, and content strategy are established; this position translates that direction into published, on-brand work delivered on schedule, partnering closely with Partnership Leadership, who set strategy and voice, and using AI-supported workflows to accelerate research and first drafts. The Partner Marketing Manager is measured on consistent execution and shipping cadence rather than one-off campaigns. What You Will Own Content Production & Publishing Cadence: Run the recurring monthly content calendar across the three narrative motions — Always-On (daily engagement, partner announcements, Grand Opening and Capstone highlights, conference moments, market highlights), Thought Leadership (the Chief Growth & Strategy Officer's monthly curated post and supporting research from the Director of Experiential Learning & Impact and Director of Learning & Development), and Human Interest (CEO Signature Series, former Student CEO profiles) — plus case studies. Own Always-On writing, support leaders’ writing on other content, copy editing, scheduling, publishing, and engagement in the first hour after each post goes live. Partner Announcements & Grand Openings: Own the announcement process end to end — collect inputs per the SOP, draft to template in the correct voice, and publish the full set: company post, individual leader posts for the CEO and Chief Growth & Strategy Officer, and the partner-facing asset. Conference & Event Activation: Own the full conference lifecycle — registration, travel, booth shipping, session proposals, speaker coordination, and target-attendee lists with pipeline-prep documents in advance; real-time content capture and booth hosting on site; and personalized follow-ups within 48–72 hours, HubSpot logging, debrief documentation, and budget reconciliation after. Build and maintain the annual conference calendar and project plan. Campaign & Collateral Production: Produce partner-facing collateral — one-pagers, website copy, pitch-deck support, and onboarding materials — in partnership with Brand & Design. Draft and coordinate campaign content for Grand Openings, the annual Impact Report, and channel partners including Follett and Dining Service Providers. Lead Pipeline Management & Reporting: Activate campaign workflows, document processes and handoffs, and build reporting that connects marketing activity to pipeline movement from Awareness to Interest. Lead weekly Partnerships meeting reporting on metrics and progress. Establish and track a LinkedIn performance baseline across impressions, follower growth, and engagement by content type. Partner Opportunity Surfacing: Monitor the experiential learning, campus retail, and higher-ed innovation landscape for signals — new initiatives, leadership changes, strategic plans, funding announcements — that indicate alignment with the Saxbys model within our Serviceable Obtainable Market. Turn surfaced opportunities into ready-to-send, peer-to-peer outreach for the Partnership team to send, and maintain a lightweight tracker of schools, news hooks, routing, and status. This is a listening and pattern-matching function, not a lead-generation quota. AI-Supported Workflow Design: Use Claude-supported workflows for research and first drafts, and help design and publish the in-development C…
