Goodwall (https://www.goodwall.io) is a TIME100 award-winning social education app, empowering over 4 million youth with skills in AI, climate, and entrepreneurship through impactful experiential learning.
We deliver meaningful, authentic brand value to our partners by serving as the trusted bridge connecting Gen Z & Alpha with Fortune 500 companies, governments, and international organisations, including Microsoft, Accenture, HP and UNICEF. Goodwall co-builds engaging experiential learning campaigns for the next generation to help young people across the globe gain the confidence, skills, and networks to achieve better livelihoods.
Backed by leading investors, Goodwall has been recognised as a World Economic Forum Global Innovator, TIME100 Top EdTech, and featured by FastCompany, Bloomberg, CNBC and Forbes.
We are looking for a Strategic Partnerships Director to help take Goodwall into its next stage of growth. This is a big role in a small team: you’ll be responsible for winning new partnerships, growing relationships with major organisations, and turning ambitious ideas into high-value programs that deliver real impact for young people.
You’ll have a multi-million-dollar revenue target across multiple 6-7 figure partnerships, and will be expected to build a significant part of your own pipeline. You’ll work with senior leaders across global companies, Fortune 500 corporates, foundations and public sector organisations - opening doors, building trust, shaping opportunities and getting contracts over the line.
But this isn’t a role where you’ll be selling a fixed product from a playbook. Goodwall is evolving quickly, and our best partnerships are built around what our partners are trying to achieve. You’ll listen, spot the opportunity, bring the right people together and work with the team to create something bespoke that works for everyone.
You’ll have a lot of autonomy. We’re a lean team, so you’ll have real influence over how we sell, who we build relationships with and where we focus. If you see a better way of doing something, we expect you to run with it. This is not a typical 9-5 role, and we trust you to manage your time around your partnerships.
Build and close big opportunities: Own a multi-million-dollar target, create your own pipeline and turn conversations into significant new partnerships.
Open doors: Use your network, our existing relationships and smart outreach to build relationships with the people who can make things happen.
Build great partnerships: Understand what organisations care about and find the intersection between their goals and what Goodwall can deliver.
Grow what’s working: Develop existing partnerships, find new opportunities within them and build relationships that last.
Bring ideas to life: Work closely with our programs, product and leadership teams to shape compelling proposals and partnerships.
Own the full journey: From the first conversation through to proposal, negotiation and close, you’ll take ownership and keep things moving.
Help shape how we grow: We’re still building our approach to partnerships. You’ll have a voice in where we focus, how we sell and how we build a high-performing partnerships team.
