Industry Partnerships Lead

myBlueprint•Toronto, ON

2d•CA$65,000 - CA$80,000•Hybrid

About The Position

This role combines corporate/industry sponsorships, program management, and educator engagement. We’re looking for a unique blend of commercial drive and customer empathy - someone who is just as comfortable building a pitch deck and securing a new corporate agreement as they are collaborating with education stakeholders to maximize student participation. You’ll work closely with industry partners, school boards, educators, and internal teams (including Customer Success and Marketing) to help create meaningful industry-connected opportunities for students, increase adoption, and strengthen program delivery. If you are highly resourceful, comfortable working toward revenue targets, and love balancing big-picture program strategy with hands-on execution, this could be a great fit for you.

Requirements

Full-Cycle Partnership Experience: A proven track record in partnership management, corporate fundraising, or account management where you were directly responsible for prospecting, pitching, and closing corporate sponsorships or institutional agreements.
K-12 Education or EdTech Familiarity: Experience working within or alongside the K-12 education system, with an understanding of how to communicate effectively with school board leads, guidance counsellors, and educators, along with a genuine passion for strengthening the Canadian labour market by connecting students with emerging career pathways.
A "Customer Success" Mindset: You understand that securing a partner or signing up a school is only half the effort; you genuinely enjoy doing the outreach, training, and support required to ensure deep, long-term program adoption.
Target-Driven & Resourceful: Comfortable working toward measurable goals (like sponsorship revenue targets, teacher sign-ups, or student participation metrics) and independent enough to move initiatives forward in a fast-paced environment.
Strong Operational Skills: Highly organized and able to seamlessly manage timelines, event logistics, communications, content workflows, and administrative details across multiple distinct initiatives.
AI-Driven Builder Mindset: You love using modern digital tools to find shortcuts, experiment, and multiply your output. You have a "try, fail, learn" attitude and are comfortable or eager to learn AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or v0 to spin up standalone program landing pages. You don't wait for a development team to build a prototype; you figure out how to ship it yourself.

Responsibilities

Cultivate and grow our network of corporate sponsors, industry organizations, and community partners. Own outbound prospecting, pipeline management, relationship management, and annual renewals.
Lead the continued growth and delivery of our career exploration programs. Drive the outreach, communications, logistics, and participation efforts needed to run these initiatives successfully, while focusing on improving the participant experience and long-term scalability.
