Your Job

The Partner Team at Trustpilot is tasked with developing, implementing and optimizing Trustpilot’s growth strategy through partnerships to drive customer acquisition and revenue.  As a core, founding member of the Partner Team, you will help shape the future of Trustpilot’s partner program and working directly with executives and senior leaders on deals that drive growth and innovation for our customers. This is a strategic role that has multiple touch points across departments and geographies. We are looking for a motivated and analytical self-starter who is comfortable striving in less structured environments and able to take ownership of tasks from start to finish. In addition to forging strong relationships quickly, you have the ability to ‘programize’ the partnership experience for both sides.

The ideal candidate will be in tune with the key players in our industry and have a passion for helping Trustpilot WIN!  You bring strong quantitative skills, strategic thinking and sound business judgement, along with the ability to think about what is and more importantly, what could be.
