The posting
GET TO KNOW US
At Wellhub we're revolutionizing workplace wellness. Our platform connects employees worldwide to the best partners for fitness, mindfulness, therapy, nutrition, and sleep - all in one simple subscription. Headquartered in NYC with team members in Europe, North America and South America, we’re on a mission to make every company a wellness company.
We believe work should be fulfilling, inspiring, and balanced. Here, you’ll find a team that values wellbeing, collaboration, and different perspectives, where passion and creativity push boundaries to create real impact. Your contributions will help shape a healthier, more balanced world for you and millions of people globally.
THE OPPORTUNITY
We are hiring a Strategic Partnerships Director to our Partnerships team to lead the growth and evolution of our most critical gym and wellness relationships in North America.
This is a high-impact role within our Strategic Partnerships team, focused on the strategic partnership opportunities for our network - the large-scale gym chains and fitness providers that drive our mission forward. You won't just be managing accounts; you will be the architect of long-term, multi-million dollar partnerships. You will source, negotiate, and scale the relationships that define the Wellhub member experience.
YOUR IMPACT
- Strategy & Growth: Own the end-to-end lifecycle of Wellhub’s highest-value gym partners. Develop and execute aggressive business strategies to increase network density and revenue.
- Complex Negotiations: Lead high-stakes negotiations with C-suite executives at national fitness chains, structuring complex deal terms that align with Wellhub’s long-term scaling goals.
- Innovation at Scale: Identify and launch "first-to-market" initiatives with partners - ranging from integrated tech features to exclusive co-marketing plays - that drive incremental usage and revenue.
- Pipeline Excellence: Drive a robust pipeline of new, strategically significant fitness providers from initial outreach through to full-scale implementation with minimal oversight.
- Industry Influence: Act as a face of Wellhub at major industry events (HFA, etc.), leveraging and expanding your existing senior-level network to solidify our market leadership.
- Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with Product, Marketing, and Operations to ensure our most important partners have a seamless integration and high-touch support.
- Live the mission: inspire and empower others by genuinely caring for your own wellbeing and your colleagues. Bring wellbeing to the forefront of work, and create a supportive environment where everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves, taking time off, and finding work-life wellness.
WHO YOU ARE
- A Seasoned Leader: 8+ years of experience in Partnerships, Business Development, or Enterprise Sales - ideally within the fitness, health-tech, or SaaS industries.
- Executive Presence: At least 4 years of experience presenting to and negotiating with C-Suite leadership at major national organizations.
- Industry Veteran: You possess a deep, existing network within the North American fitness and wellness landscape. You know the "who’s who" of the big box and boutique gym world.
- Strategic & Analytical: You don’t just "do deals" - you use data to tell a story. You understand the unit economics of a partnership and can articulate why a deal makes sense for both sides.
- The "Closer" Mentality: You have a proven track record of hitting and exceeding high-seven-figure revenue targets and managing complex, multi-layered sales cycles.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or equivalent leadership experience preferred.
