About Topsort

At Topsort, we believe in the mission of democratizing the secret technologies of the walled gardens and creating a privacy-first cookie-free world of clean advertising with modern tech, friendly products, and AI. We believe in making advertising intuitive, intelligent, and genuinely cool, without any of the creepy ads or cookie-obsession (well, maybe just the chocolate ones). In a rapidly changing industry, we're on a mission to democratize monetization access for all and ensure that advertising doesn't leave any brand or seller feeling confused or overwhelmed.

Today, Topsort has 5 major hubs worldwide, and employees in 13+ countries, including Menlo Park, Boston, Santiago Chile, Sao Paulo Brazil, Barcelona Spain, and Sydney Australia. We are a truly global company that was born in the pandemic that's had rapid growth since out of a genius product, a customer-first mentality, and a hardworking team of talented individuals. Since our founding in 2021, we've gained customers in retail, marketplaces, and delivery apps in 40+ countries and quickly approaching the #1 position in the industry.

Do you enjoy a fast-paced environment? Do you like seeing your work create real-time impact, being part of a rocket ship from the very beginning? Let's do the unimaginable - let's make ads clean and cool again, with AI and modern technology.

What it's like to work at Topsort

Our team is all about straightforward communication, embracing feedback without taking it personally, and fostering a super collaborative environment. It's a sports team that's hyper focused on winning, collaborative internally, and competitive externally - never the other way around. We thrive on working in the open, lifting each other up, and getting things done with a sense of urgency. We're the kind of team that loves making bold choices, sharing extraordinary opinions, and maintaining a 100 mph pace. No endless meetings here - if it can be done today, we're all about getting it done today.

What is this role like?

We are looking for an entrepreneurial and execution-focused Partnership Manager to join our growing team at Topsort. In this role, you will take ownership of identifying, negotiating, and launching strategic partnerships that accelerate our growth across markets and verticals.

You'll work closely with product, marketing, and executive leadership to define partnership strategies, build meaningful alliances, and turn opportunities into scalable revenue-generating relationships. This role is ideal for someone who has deep experience navigating complex partnership structures and thrives in a fast-moving, ambiguity-rich environment.

You will :

  • Own the partnership strategy : Define and execute Topsort's global partnership roadmap across technology, channel, agency, and integration partners.
  • Drive partner sourcing and deal-making : Proactively identify, engage, and negotiate with high-potential partners that align with our product and business goals.
  • Lead relationship development : Build strong, long-term relationships with key decision-makers across partner organizations.
  • Build go-to-market plans with partners : Co-develop initiatives that drive awareness, adoption, and mutual value creation.
  • Collaborate across teams : Work closely with product, marketing, legal, and engineering to align internal efforts with external partner execution.
  • Develop scalable systems : Establish processes, metrics, and reporting structures for partnership success and health.
  • Represent Topsort externally : Act as a key spokesperson and evangelist for the company at events, conferences, and strategic meetings.

What (we think) you need to be successful - but we're open to surprises :

  • 7-10 years of experience in business development, strategic partnerships, or related roles, ideally within SaaS, marketplaces, advertising, or retail tech.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead partnerships end-to-end-from sourcing to execution to scaling.
  • Strong deal-structuring and negotiation skills, with a bias toward building long-term, win-win relationships.
  • A builder's mindset-you enjoy creating new channels and making things happen in uncharted territory.
  • Excellent communication and executive presence, with experience working across C-level stakeholders.
  • Ability to balance strategy and scrappy execution in a high-growth environment.
  • Global perspective and the ability to work across time zones and cultures.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field from a top school; MBA is a plus but not required.
  • What We Value

    At Topsort, we seek professionals who embody the following qualities to drive our mission forward :

  • Deep dive into details : Professionals who are not content with superficial answers and dive deeply into the details to uncover root causes and optimal solutions.
  • Team first : A low need for individual recognition, always prioritizing collective results over personal credit.
  • You thrive with ambiguity : Exceptional ability to tackle open-ended problems in unstructured environments, turning chaos into structured innovation.
  • Adaptability : Willingness to learn, mentor, lead, and follow as the situation demands, fostering growth at all levels.
  • Urgency : A disproportionate sense of urgency in execution, while keeping scalability and the creation of replicable processes in mind to ensure long-term success.
  • Curiosity : Genuinely curious individuals who can quickly learn difficult concepts and apply them effectively.
  • Do you sound like the right fit? Let's dive right in!
