Consultant Relations Manager - West

ABOUT US

The company is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.).

Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. The company transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave).

The company is headquartered in San Francisco but all employees work remotely across the country. The company is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems.

As a Consultant Relations Manager - West, you will execute the company’s go-to-market strategy across our most strategic partnerships—identifying, deepening, and maintaining relationships with top brokers, consultants, and channel partners. You’ll play a critical role in expanding the company’s influence across the employee benefits ecosystem by creating trusted advisors and raving fans.

This role is ideal for a relationship-driven, innovative storyteller with deep experience working with employee benefits brokers and consultants across the small, mid-market, and/or enterprise segments. You understand how to operate at both the office level (program development, enablement, GTM planning) and the individual level (trusted relationships, influence, credibility).

Reporting to the Head of Channel Sales, you’ll leverage a mix of in-house insights and external data to identify new opportunities, nurture long-term partnerships, and activate brokers and consultants—solidifying the company’s position as the leading leave management solution in the market.
