Title: Expert Partnerships Manager Location: Remote (US time zones) Job Description: ROLE OVERVIEW This role is for someone with 2-5 years of experience who wants to dramatically level up their network and their sales skills. You will recruit and talk to the most impressive experts in the world every day. You’ll build and own a portfolio of high-potential creators, operators, and industry leaders, and be the driving force behind making Maven the number-one place for experts to teach online. This is a sales-focused, entrepreneurial, relationship-driven role. You’ll identify promising instructors, pitch the Maven vision, advise them on the right course to build, and guide them through to launch. You’ll shape our creator ecosystem from the ground up and help build the programs and systems that will eventually scale to thousands of instructors. We’re looking for a self-starter who loves the chase as much as they love helping creators succeed. Someone who is energized by hitting ambitious goals, thrives in a fast-changing environment, and is deeply curious about what makes great instructors great. You’ll initially report directly to the CEO alongside two other EPMs (Delaney and Kirissa) and work closely with our Product, Marketing, and Instructor Success teams. WHAT YOU’LL DO Acquire High-Quality Instructors - Build and manage a targeted pipeline across segments: operators, founders, creators, domain experts, and rising thought leaders. - Source, pitch, and close new instructors, owning the full funnel from first outreach to start date of their first cohort. Build and Maintain Deep Relationships - Earn the trust of instructors through thoughtful guidance, strategic insight, and clear communication. - Develop a strong point of view on what makes someone a great fit for Maven and act as an advisor they rely on. - Become a recognizable presence in creator, tech, and business communities. Guide Instructors Through Successful Launches - Partner with instructors to refine their course positioning, shape their landing pages, and prepare for launch. - Work closely with our internal teams to ensure instructors have the resources, tools, and support they need. - Track performance and implement improvements to drive high instructor activation and success rates. Strategy & Execution - Use data to prioritize segments, refine outreach, and tighten your book of business. - Provide insights back to product, marketing, and leadership that influence roadmap and strategy. - Help design and iterate on acquisition programs and playbooks that can scale to thousands of instructors. WHO YOU ARE - Pace-driver. You have a natural burning desire to constantly move forward and attack a goal. Anytime an opportunity is in front of you, you barrel towards it to get what you want. - Taste. You don’t need to be an expert at what makes a successful course, but you do need to be someone who has stellar taste in a field you know well. If you’re on Instagram, you can tell the difference between a good video and a bad one. - An empathetic closer. You understand people and are able to talk to creators, operators, and founders even though they likely have a decade+ more experience than you. And you empathize so well that you can figure out what each individual person needs to get to the next step in their Maven journey. ABOUT MAVEN Maven is the home for human expertise on the Internet. We started with practical, professional courses on key skills taught by leading experts in your field. Think: learning AI Product Management from a head of product at OpenAI or an engineering lead at Meta. Our cohort-based model means engagement rates are 80-90% instead of the 5-10% from video-based learning. Over 500 experts use Maven and they earn $40M/year on the platform. Maven now aims to be the #1 destination for expert creator businesses that include workshops, courses, corporate consulting, 1:1 coaching, and educational products. Today, we're direct to consumer but eventually we'll offer certificate programs, MBA-like programs, and sell directly to businesses. We’re the industry leaders in a growing segment of the creator economy. As the need to learn AI grows, Maven has become the place to learn valuable skills. As AI takes over more mid-level IC tasks, access to human expertise is ever-more important. We've raised $25 million from Andreessen Horowitz, First Round, and a supportive network of industry angels. Join us to do the best work of your career, and help every professional access the world’s most impressive human experts.
