Head of Strategic Partnerships

FarmKind

📍Remote (Global) 🕔 Full Time
💰 ~$50,000 USD 🔄 Rolling Applications

Turn your love of meeting new people and building connections into impact: Help us reach hundreds of thousands of compassionate people by building relationships with people who can amplify our message. The right media opportunity can be game changing for a fundraising organisation: a peer organization raised $750k for impactful charities through a single podcast appearance on The Happiness Lab.

You’ll work directly with our co-founders to scale FarmKind’s impact through earned media and strategic relationships with content creators, podcasters, journalists, Substack authors, celebrities, public intellectuals and other highly influential people. You'll take the lead on developing our earned media strategy, building high-value relationships, and securing major media opportunities. We need someone who can identify the right partnerships, navigate complex stakeholder relationships, generate warm introductions and turn them into meaningful coverage.

As FarmKind grows, you’ll be an integral part of the core leadership team, helping to set and develop our strategic direction and build our team. This role is ideal for someone with business development, B2B sales, PR, or influencer relations experience who wants to use their networking superpowers to help end factory farming.

Objectives (Flexible)

• Build and maintain relationships with podcasters, journalists, bloggers and content creators who can feature FarmKind

• Gain access to and attend events and conferences (online and in person) to grow your ‘network’ of relevant contacts

• Develop and execute our earned media strategy, identifying new partnership opportunities

• Secure podcast appearances for our founders on relevant shows

• Secure ‘coverage’ for FarmKind across the traditional media and/or ‘new media’ (e.g. Substack)

• Grow and manage a community of ‘FarmKind Ambassadors’ – influential people connecting FarmKind to relevant opportunities

If you’re interested in aspects of the Head of Growth role, those could be incorporated into the Head of Strategic Partnerships role too.
