The Role
We're looking for an organized and proactive Partnerships Coordinator who can tackle projects from brief to final delivery while keeping a lot of moving pieces on track. This is a hands-on, execution role at the heart of our partnerships team.
The ideal candidate is someone motivated by output: building campaign assets, running and improving partner operations, holding timelines and stakeholders on track, supporting inbound advisor calls, and turning performance data into clear reporting. This is an operational and supporting role. You'll be the internal engine that keeps our partnerships running day to day.
To thrive in Willful’s remote-first environment on a small, agile, two-person partnerships team, you will need to be resourceful, proactive, curious, have a bias to action, and be open to direct, clear feedback. If you are someone who requires a lot of continuous oversight, or who needs work to be assigned before you act, this may not be the ideal environment for you.

- Bring fresh, practical creative ideas to the table for new partner activations.
3. Performance & Impact
- Track partner-sourced revenue and transaction volume.
- Build and refine reporting across all partnership channels.
- Share honest, straightforward updates on what is working and what isn'
