We're looking for a results-oriented Senior Strategic Partnerships Manager with B2B and B2C experience, exceptional relationship-management skills, and a strategic mindset to drive Lemonade's presence across pet insurance comparison websites and affiliates.

What you'll need:
5+ years of experience in partnerships or affiliate management with aggregators, comparison sites, or similar B2B2C platforms
Significant experience managing and optimizing PPC and Media Buying campaigns on Google and Meta (hands-on experience is a strong advantage)
Proven track record of driving business growth through strategic partnerships
Experience with pet insurance, personal finance, or comparison shopping ecosystems strongly preferred
Strong relationship-building and interpersonal skills, with ability to negotiate mutually beneficial agreements
Strategic and analytical mindset, with ability to identify partnership opportunities and develop actionable plans
