Role Description HeyMax partners with everyone from yuu to banks, airlines, and hotels — and every partnership comes with marketing firepower behind it. That's where you come in. You'll be the marketing engine for our Partnerships team. They close the deals and brief you on what's needed; you turn those briefs into campaigns that ship — fast, sharp, and flawless. And when the moment calls for it, you'll sit at the table with partners directly: pitching co-marketing ideas, shaping the campaign, and running it end-to-end from first whiteboard to final send. This isn't a "pass it to another team" role. You own it — the brief, the copy, the creative direction, the CRM build, the deadline. What You'll Own - Be Partnerships' go-to marketer — take briefs from the internal Partnerships team and turn them into ready-to-ship campaigns, juggling multiple partners and deadlines without breaking a sweat. - Face partners directly when it counts — join partner discussions, propose co-marketing campaigns, and own them end-to-end from ideation to execution. - Run a tight ship — timelines, stakeholders, deliverables, follow-ups. Nothing slips, nothing's late, nothing ships with a typo. - Write the copy that works — EDMs, push, landing pages, co-branded assets. Clear, on-brand, and built to convert. - Brief creatives like a pro — translate fuzzy asks into briefs so sharp the first draft is nearly the final one. - Tell the story — connect partner offers to what members actually care about, and build campaign narratives around it. - Ship CRM comms hands-on — segment, build, QA, deploy. Email, push, in-app, Telegram — you run the full pipeline yourself. Qualifications - 3-5 years in B2B or partnerships marketing — loyalty, fintech, travel, or e-commerce a big plus. - Highly organized, thriving in environments with multiple partners, shifting priorities, and tight timelines. - Ability to engage with diverse teams, from a bank's brand team to a merchant's growth team. - Strong writing skills and ability to brief effectively. - Experience shipping CRM campaigns hands-on (Customer.io) — not just planning them. - Preference for owning projects end-to-end rather than handing them off halfway. - Comfortable in startup environments; energized by ambiguity and speed. Bonus Points - Experience working directly with banks, airlines, hotels, or big merchant loyalty programs. - Knowledge of the APAC miles-and-points world (or being a points nerd). - Experience managing agencies or freelance creatives.
