Justworks is looking for a Strategic Partnerships Program Manager to help turn our most important partnerships into scalable, successful growth opportunities.
Sitting within Revenue Strategy, this individual contributor role will work closely with our Partnerships and Business Development teams to translate complex partnership opportunities into coordinated execution plans and measurable business outcomes.
Bringing a partnership to life often requires many parts of the business to move together—from designing the customer journey and go-to-market motion to enabling product and technology capabilities, operational processes, financial models, marketing programs, and reporting. You will serve as the cross-functional quarterback for these initiatives, connecting the strategy and commercial intent of a partnership with the teams and capabilities required to successfully launch it.
We’re looking for someone who combines strong strategic thinking and commercial instincts with exceptional project management and cross-functional leadership. You can take an ambiguous, complex opportunity, break it into a clear plan, anticipate what could get in the way, and drive a diverse group of stakeholders toward a shared outcome.
You are a strategic, commercially minded operator who thrives at the intersection of strategy and execution. You are equally comfortable understanding the business rationale behind a partnership and getting into the details required to make it work.
You are an exceptional project manager, but your impact goes beyond maintaining a project plan. You understand the objective, ask the questions others haven’t considered, connect decisions across workstreams, and create the clarity and accountability required to move complex initiatives forward.
You are comfortable operating without formal authority across teams with different priorities. You build credibility quickly, communicate clearly, hold people accountable, and know when to push for a decision or escalate a risk.
You are also a modern operator who actively uses AI and automation to reduce administrative work, improve visibility, and create more time for problem-solving and higher-value strategic work.
Our most important partnership opportunities move from agreement to execution with speed, clarity, and accountability. The teams required to deliver each partnership understand what is expected of them, dependencies are identified early, decisions happen quickly, and leadership has clear visibility into progress and risk.
Our Partnerships and Business Development teams have a strong execution partner who can take a complex deal and quarterback the organization required to deliver it—allowing them to stay focused on building and growing strategic partner relationships.
Over time, Justworks becomes better and faster at bringing increasingly complex partnerships to market without adding unnecessary process or organizational complexity.
The base wage range for this position based in our New York City Office is targeted at $121,000.00 to $151,000.00 per year.
