Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.
Stand Together Ventures partners aren't passive donors - they're co-investo
rs in transformation. Our success depends on partners moving from only financial contributions to actively shaping solutions and outcomes: bringing their expertise, their networks, their judgment, and their investments to the initiatives they believe in.
We are looking for a Partner Engagement Lead to build and run the engine that makes that transformation happen - recruiting the right partners, deepening their engagement over time, creating space for them to lead alongside each other, and holding the system accountable to real results.
This is a relationship-intensive role balanced with strategy and execution of programming, and you'll be expected to apply Principled Entrepreneurship to determine the highest-value path forward. We expect you to apply your judgment and initiative to create the most value, not just execute a checklist. Mutual benefit is the standard, not a nice-to-have - every partner relationship should create real value for the partner and for the mission, not one at the expense of the other.
Design events, salons, and working groups where the value comes from peer-to-peer connection, not from content delivered top-down.
Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
A track record of building and running high-touch relationship programs - major donors, LPs, board members, or a comparable high-value, low-volume group.
- Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
- A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutions to complex social challenges.
- Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
- Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.
For this role, the anticipated base salary range is $150,000 – $225,000 per year. In addition to base salary, additional bonus earnings may represent a meaningful portion of total compensation. Total compensation will align with an employee’s overall contribution and the value created for the organization.
Our Principles-Based Management™ (PBM) compensation philosophy is grounded in an individualized approach that rewards the long-term value each person creates for the organization. Compensation decisions are informed by a variety of factors, including relevant experience, capabilities, demonstrated skills, role responsibilities, and expected contribution. Consistent with this approach, base salary may vary within or outside of the anticipated range based on these considerations.
Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.
We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success. That is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
