Senior Engagement Manager

Role Overview

• Own the relationship. Build and manage high-touch relationships with leaders, implementing partners, and key stakeholders across your track — whether that's local organizations in priority cities or points-of-contact within national organizational networks.
• Drive activation strategy. Develop and execute activation strategies tailored to the conditions of each market or network rather than applying a single model.
• Build the leader pipeline. Identify and recruit leaders into the BTP community, working alongside partners to accelerate onboarding and integration.
• Create reciprocal models. Build partnership structures and engagement approaches where partners and leaders feel genuinely connected to BTP's mission — not extracted for content or stories.
• Run activation touchpoints. Execute convenings, partner events, and leader onboarding moments in close coordination with your Community Manager.
• Generate the learning. Capture what drove engagement and what didn't — and feed that signal back into the operating model systematically.
• Build toward self-mode. Develop relationships and structures that create self-sustaining activation pipelines over time.
• Track what matters. Monitor progress toward activation goals and surface clear signals on what conditions enable self-sustaining growth.
• Coordinate with Partner Engine. Work with the Partner Lead, relationship managers, and relevant colleagues to ensure activation is coordinated with broader partner and donor-engagement work.
• Connect across tracks. Partner with the other Sr. EM to identify where regional and organizational activation intersect and reinforce each other.
• Support platform adoption. Collaborate with the Platform team to ensure leader onboarding is smooth and the platform actively supports activation on the ground.

Requirements

• Demonstrated experience managing high-stakes, multi-stakeholder partnerships in a civic, nonprofit, philanthropic, or corporate community context — where the relationships are the work, not a means to it.
• A proven track record as a partner manager who can hold complex relationships across organizations, community leaders, and institutional stakeholders simultaneously.
• Comfort working across multiple markets or partners at the same time, with the discipline to prioritize and the adaptability to respond to what each context needs.
• Strong listening and facilitation skills — the ability to earn trust quickly with diverse stakeholders and make them want to be part of something larger.
• Experience in a role where you had to build the playbook as you went — and did it.
• Willingness and ability to travel. Regional track — Frequent. Significant in-market presence across priority cities is a defining feature of the role — this is a road role. Organizational track — Regular. Consistent travel to partner headquarters, affiliate convenings, and network events.
• Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
