About this role
ABOUT CLARK
Clark is building the trust infrastructure for the AI economy. We support firms in high-trust environments—where reliability, accuracy, and security are as critical as product functionality—by automating complex workflows, enabling safe AI deployment, and driving operational rigor. As we scale, we're assembling a high-impact team that thrives on ownership and outcomes.
THE ROLE
We're seeking a Partnership Lead to drive and execute Clark's partnership strategy. In this high-ownership role, you will identify, establish, and nurture strategic partnerships to accelerate our growth and market reach. You’ll work closely with Clark's founders and cross-functional teams to develop, negotiate, and close partnership agreements that add significant value to our business.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Develop and own Clark’s partnership strategy, from pipeline building to deal execution
- Source, negotiate, and manage relationships with key partners across technology, services, and industry sectors
- Forge new alliances that enhance Clark’s offering, expand our reach, and contribute to revenue growth
- Collaborate with Sales, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success to identify opportunities for joint initiatives and integrated solutions
- Represent Clark at industry events, conferences, and in partner-facing engagements
- Establish reporting and measurement systems to track partnership impact and ROI
- Continuously refine partnership processes for scale and efficiency
WHO YOU ARE
- 2+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, or a related field, ideally within B2B technology or SaaS
- Proven track record of identifying, negotiating, and managing complex partnerships
- Outstanding communication, relationship-building, and negotiation skills
- Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-ownership, and fully onsite environment
- Creative, adaptable, and driven to build from zero
- Highly organized with strong project management instincts
- Ambitious and excited to make a direct impact in an early-stage company
BONUS
- Experience partnering with enterprise clients, AI, or infrastructure-related companies
- Partnership experience at an early-stage startup
- Understanding of accounting, audit, or high-trust service sectors
HOW WE WORK
- Fully onsite in NYC, five days a week — not remote or hybrid
- High pace, high ownership, and direct access to founders
- You own your outcomes and get real recognition for successes
COMPENSATION & BENEFITS
- Competitive salary + meaningful early-stage equity
- Comprehensive healthcare, dental, and vision coverage
- Unlimited PTO (and we mean it)
- Wellhub Platinum membership (gyms, studios, wellness apps)
- Dinner covered every night you’re in the office
- Top-tier equipment and tools of your choice

About this listing
Published on Ashby under the board identifier Clark, which is the name the employer’s own job board carries. RoleSprint has not verified the company’s registered or trading name, so it is shown exactly as published rather than tidied up.
RoleSprint is not the employer and not a recruiter. Applications are made on the employer’s own site and never reach us; what RoleSprint does is help you decide whether a role is worth your time and prepare for it if it is.
Published 27 August 2026, last checked about a month ago. A posting stops being advertised here 90 days after the employer published it, and one the employer takes down is marked closed rather than quietly removed.
