Community & Partnership Lead

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in Germany.

📋 Description

• You enjoy connecting individuals, fostering innovative partnerships, and making brands so relatable that people genuinely feel part of them.

• As a Community & Partnership Manager, you are not just a typical influencer manager or a pure community manager.

• We are seeking someone who can seamlessly integrate both roles.

• A person who establishes authentic relationships.

• Someone who has a deep understanding of communities.

• Who can discern when brand communication is genuine versus when it is not.

• In this position, you will oversee two equally crucial areas: forging strategic external partnerships and nurturing an authentic internal community.

• Simultaneously, you will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of Community & Partnerships at Funzy, including the mid-term growth of a small team.

• You will cultivate long-term relationships with creators—from micro to macro—and focus on forming genuine partnerships rather than short-lived agreements.

• You will develop innovative brand collaborations and co-marketing initiatives with relevant family and lifestyle brands.

• You will manage a seven-figure creator and affiliate budget, evolving our partnerships with an emphasis on long-term brand development and sustainable ROI.

• You will plan creator events, community activations, and formats that unite people.

• You will establish YouTube and TikTok partnerships with potential for long-term growth.

• You will create an active Funzy community that extends well beyond traditional comment management.

• You will ensure that user-generated content (UGC) is systematically collected, activated, and utilized across various channels.

• You will relay the community’s voice back to the company, influencing areas such as product development, CRM, or content.

⛳️ Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in community development and/or creator partnerships.

• Demonstrated success in building communities, creator networks, or brand collaborations.

• You possess an intuitive understanding of the experiences of families with young children, particularly mothers.

• You can think strategically while also executing tasks hands-on.

• You are accustomed to working independently and building initiatives without a large team.

• You have experience managing seven-figure budgets and can accurately analyze performance and ROI.

• You have a keen understanding of brand communication and write in an inviting, sincere manner without resorting to marketing clichés.

🏝️ Benefits

• Insights into the dynamic world of a rapidly growing e-commerce startup with ample opportunity to influence and shape initiatives.

• An inspiring company culture marked by innovation, flat hierarchies, direct communication, and swift decision-making.

• Ample opportunity to actively shape both a brand and a community.

• A focus on responsibility rather than micromanagement.

• Quick execution instead of prolonged approval processes.

• A team that genuinely tests out ideas.

• The chance to contribute to building one of the most exciting family brands in the DACH region.

• Modern work conditions: access to a shared office desk, a MacBook, flexible working hours, and the option to work remotely.
