Partnerships Executive

Indexed builds innovative SEO systems designed for the future of search. We partner with ambitious brands to deliver full-stack SEO solutions, supported by high-performance design, development, and strategic insights. Trusted by global clients, Indexed has driven millions in revenue, clicks, and conversions, along with top-ranking results in highly competitive markets. We create scalable, enduring growth systems for enterprise brands across the US, UK, and Europe.

We're looking for a Partnerships Executive to build a referral and partner program from the ground up — starting relationships with adjacent agencies (web design, PPC, dev shops) and similar B2B partner ecosystems, rather than waiting for partner interest to come to us.

This is an outbound, relationship-first role. You'll initiate and build partnerships yourself, bring creative ideas for co-marketing, sponsorships, and events, and keep a real pipeline of partner relationships organized so nothing falls through the cracks. You'll represent Indexed externally to other companies, so the presentation bar is the same as our client-facing roles.

Build the partner program

• Build a referral and partner program from the ground up, targeting adjacent agencies (web design, PPC, dev shops) and similar B2B partner ecosystems
• Draw on experience building referral or partner programs elsewhere to shape how Indexed's program is structured and run

Initiate relationships, don't just manage them

• Proactively identify and reach out to potential partners — this role initiates outbound relationships rather than only managing inbound partner requests
• Build genuine, lasting relationships with partner contacts, not just transactional referral arrangements

Bring creative ideas to the table

• Propose co-marketing opportunities, sponsorships, and events — not just run a fixed outreach cadence
• Identify new formats and angles for partnership as the program matures

Keep the pipeline organized

• Manage a real pipeline of partner relationships — tracking status, next steps, and follow-ups so nothing falls through the cracks

• 5+ years of experience, including experience building referral or partner programs, ideally with adjacent agencies or similar B2B partner ecosystems
• A natural relationship-builder who initiates outbound relationships, rather than only responding to inbound partner interest
• Creative — comfortable proposing co-marketing, sponsorships, and events, not just executing a fixed cadence
• Organized enough to manage a real partner pipeline without anything slipping through the cracks
• Professional English and presentation — this person represents Indexed externally to other companies, the same bar as our client-facing roles

• Ownership of a new partner program, built from the ground up rather than inherited
• Direct access to leadership, with no layers of approval slowing you down
• Room to bring creative partnership ideas to life, not just execute a fixed playbook

Two steps. You need to do both to be shortlisted.

1. Apply through LinkedIn.

2. Email [HIDDEN TEXT] with the subject line Partnerships Executive — [Your Name], and include:

• Your CV
• A referral or partner program you've built, including how you found and initiated the first partners, and how you kept the pipeline organized.
• A creative partnership idea you've proposed and run — co-marketing, a sponsorship, or an event — and how it came together.

Applications without the email will not be reviewed. We're looking for someone who's actually started partnerships from scratch, not just managed ones that came in. If it's a fit, we will move fast.
