Partnerships Lead
Every morning, 11,000 Americans wake up and begin their first day of retirement. While retirement should be an exciting, empowering, and fulfilling part of one’s life, the reality today is that retirement brings along with it a fundamentally new set of challenges that make it an overwhelming time for many.
At Chapter, we believe that the current infrastructure for retirement is broken, and we’re on a mission to fix it. We’ve started by building industry leading technology to solve the first major obstacle in retirement: navigating Medicare (healthcare coverage for retirees over 65). Our products help seniors sign up, choose an insurance plan, and leverage their plan after they are enrolled. And, unlike most Medicare advisors who only search plans that pay them, Chapter searches every Medicare option nationwide. This allows us to find savings and benefits that others miss.
But our ambition doesn’t stop with Medicare — we seek to transform the way that Americans navigate and experience retirement. If this sounds exciting to you, we’d love to speak with you.
About The Role
As a Partnerships Lead, you will run the strategy of designing marketing and outreach, lead and facilitate calls and in-person meetings with C-Suite executives at Fortune 500 companies, construct the strategy for our expansion, and, ultimately bring in new partners.
Over the past year, Chapter has cultivated partnerships with several of the largest organizations across the Healthcare, Financial Services, Retail / eCommerce, and Technology sectors. With these growth partners, Chapter acts as a trusted Medicare resource, supporting their retirement-aged customers and members to find and enrolll in the best healthcare coverage.
We’re looking for an enterprise partnerships leader, reporting into our Head of Business Development & Partnerships, to further scale our partnerships work, as the critical channel that fuels Chapter’s growth. Your time will be spent rapidly growing the number and size of our partnerships. You’ll help to set the goals and overall strategy for our B2B growth work with our executive team, and you will over time build out the team to support our partnership work. You’ll work cross-functionally with our Product, Advisory, Marketing, and Operations leaders to further define new products and offerings that are compelling to new potential partners.

- The ability to take ownership over a critical growth lever for the company.
- The ability to develop core leadership skills (sales, storytelling, recruiting) that are normally reserved for professionals many years into their careers.
How You'll Contribute To Our Mission
- Own the entire top-of-funnel deal life-cycle for Chapter’s partnerships (outreach through deal-close), the fastest-growing and most effective segment for Chapter
- Cultivate and close deals with some of the largest and most impactful healthcare and financial services firms in the United States
- Define the goals and broader strategy for Chapter’s partnership work with our senior leadership team, including which segments we should prioritize, what channels we should use to reach partners, and what value proposition we should convey
