Strategic Partnerships Manager - Remote

The Opportunity Fizion is creating a new category of performance products built around one simple belief: Performance should fit into real life. Our mission is to help people perform on their terms through products that are flexible, convenient, and enjoyable to use. We are looking for a builder-not someone to inherit a mature sales territory, but someone to create one.

You will design and scale our Strategic Partnerships program from the ground up, establishing relationships that become a long-term competitive advantage for the brand. What You'll Build · Develop the Fizion Performance Partner Program and turn it into a repeatable national growth engine. · Create partnerships with boutique fitness studios, specialty retailers, running communities, universities, hospitality groups, corporate wellness organizations, and performance-focused events.

· Design systems that allow the partnership channel to scale efficiently over time.

Key Responsibilities

· Coordinate partner launch kits, merchandising, training materials, and marketing assets. · Work closely with Marketing, Operations, and E-commerce to ensure partner success. · Track KPIs and continuously improve the partnership playbook. · Represent Fizion at key industry conferences and trade shows.

What Success Looks Like · Build an organized prospect database and outreach cadence. · Launch the initial partnership program. · Secure the first 25 active partners. · Document the first version of the partnership playbook. · Build a scalable partnership acquisition system. · Establish 200+ active performance partners.

· Create measurable customer acquisition through partnerships. · Develop wholesale relationships that generate recurring revenue. · Build a channel capable of growing for years to come. Ideal Background · 3-7 years in strategic partnerships, business development, channel sales, account management, or related experience.

This is a rare opportunity to build a function-not simply fill a role. You will help define how Fizion reaches consumers beyond traditional advertising and create a national network of partners that becomes a core growth engine for the business. If you enjoy building systems, creating relationships, and helping shape a brand from its earliest stages, we'd love to meet you.
