Syndication Partnerships Manager

Twitter is seeking a Syndication Partnerships Manager to handle partner acquisition, management and growth with publishers and content websites for a new Twitter business pilot. These partnerships will be based around an existing portfolio of Twitter products, tools, and services that serve to monetize the vast distribution of Twitter’s content off-platform. This person will balance the pure execution of partner pitching and on-boarding with the strategic mindset of identifying the best prospects and determining the best ways to maximize value from each partner as we grow the program. We’re building something truly new and unique for publishers and content owners across the globe — and looking for the right person to be a founding member of this team.
