About The Position

Statusphere is seeking a driven Senior Agency Partnership Manager (APM) to own and grow Statusphere’s relationships with PR, creative, media, and influencer agencies and their holding companies. The APM will be responsible for achieving revenue goals, building strong relationships with key agency partners, and helping these partners drive business results for their clients using Statusphere's platform. This role requires strong sales skills, collaboration with Client Success Managers, problem-solving abilities, attention to detail, and adaptability. The APM will manage relationships with agencies of all sizes, treating each as a channel for expansion. The goal is to identify suitable brand clients through agency partners, activate new brand accounts, and expand existing ones, often leveraging a single agency partnership to unlock multiple brand relationships. Success depends on a proactive, relationship-driven approach and the ability to balance developing new agency relationships with expanding existing ones.

Requirements

5–8 years of experience in agency partnerships, channel sales, or business development, ideally having worked directly with or inside PR, creative, or media agencies or holding companies or specialized shops.
Established rolodex of relationships with agency decision-makers (account leads, planners, holding-company procurement) able to open doors to their brand clients.
Experience managing a portfolio of channel or agency partners and driving multi-account expansion through a single relationship.
Strong understanding of agency organizational structures, holding company, agency, and account team, and how brand decisions flow through them.
Strong presentation and enablement skills, comfortable training agency teams and running joint pitches with partners.
Proficiency with CRM tools, ideally HubSpot, to manage agency partnership pipelines and track downstream account activity.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, comfortable working directly with agency leadership and their brand clients.

Nice To Haves

Experience in the PR, creative, media, or influencer/creator agency landscape, either agency-side or on an agency-facing sales team.
Familiarity with major holding companies and independent agencies in the beauty, CPG, and lifestyle space.
Track record of scaling a channel or agency partnership program from a handful of relationships to a broad, repeatable pipeline.
Comfort using AI-powered tools (for account research, forecasting, meeting prep, or proposal development) to work more efficiently.

Responsibilities

Own and grow direct relationships with agency partners, PR, creative, media, and holding-company networks, positioning Statusphere as the go-to creator marketing platform for their client rosters.

Develop co-selling and joint go-to-market motions with agency partners, case studies, joint pitches, and shared account plans, to accelerate new-brand activation.
Maintain accurate, up-to-date agency and downstream account records in HubSpot, tracking pipeline, activations, and expansion opportunities across each agency relationship.
Consistently achieve or exceed quarterly revenue and account-growth targets tied to agency-sourced business.
