About the Role
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.
What You’ll Do
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.
Why Goodwall ?
Above-market compensation package that rewards performance The chance to work on strategic 6-7 figure partnerships with some of the world’s biggest organisations A genuinely global role, meeting and working across markets and with a global youth community A small, ambitious team where you can shape the strategy, not just execute it Real ownership , autonomy and room to grow Flexibility on working environment And most importantly, a mission you can be proud of - helping millions of young people build skills, access opportunity and shape their futures
Requirements
What You Bring
10+ years experience in enterprise sales, partnerships or business development, ideally selling into corporate CSR, sustainability, HR/talent or foundation budgets, in youth, skills, workforce development, edtech or social impact. Strong sellers from adjacent spaces (fintech, HR-tech, digital health) who have sold "soft" outcomes to hard enterprise buyers are also a fit.
You’re naturally commercial, but you’re also curious and creative — you know that the best opportunities often start with a conversation rather than a pitch.
You’re confident building relationships with senior decision-makers and equally comfortable getting into the details with the people who will actually make things happen.
You can take an idea from “this could be interesting” to a signed contract — including shaping the proposal, numbers and business case.
You’re highly self-directed . You don’t need a big team or lots of processes around you to get things done.
You’re comfortable with ambiguity, move quickly and enjoy figuring things out as you go.
