Partnership Manager

Aria InsurTech | Miramar, FL (Remote Considered)

Who We Are

Aria InsurTech is a technology company building the all-in-one platform that independent mortgage protection agents use for lead generation, direct mail campaigns, back office software, and training. Our founders, former high-performing agents, built and ran a $1 million/month agency with only 56 writers at 87% persistency before shifting focus to create the infrastructure they wished had existed: Aria.

We are carrier-agnostic—not an IMO, and we do not take overrides on agent production. We are not a lead vendor that disappears after the sale. Instead, we provide the full stack any serious independent agent needs to grow, with no carrier ties or downstream obligations.

Over 4,000 independent agents now build their businesses on Aria. We are a 20-person team with real revenue and a proven product. We’re looking for someone who wants to own and drive one of our most critical growth functions—not just fill a seat.

The Role

As Partnership Manager, you will own Aria’s affiliate and partner ecosystem. This is our highest-leverage growth channel and earns significant returns on every dollar spent. Today it is managed by hand—your mission is to build the systems, manage the relationships, and expand the network of high-level partners and affiliates who bring agents to Aria. You’ll report directly to the CEO.

Responsibilities

Partner Acquisition

• Identify, reach out to, and build a pipeline of prospective partners across the country—focusing on those with active mortgage protection agents.

• Lead all outreach, manage conversations, and close new partner relationships (not cold calling random agents—these are influential partners able to bring teams at scale).

Partner Onboarding & Activation

• Oversee onboarding of every new partner, collaborating with AEs and operations to develop effective co-branded onboarding.

• Ensure agents are placed into the right product flows and are set up for success from the start.

Relationship Management

Program Development

• Work with leadership to build and refine the affiliate status ladder, quarterly contests, and annual recognition programs.

• Gather field feedback and drive program improvements.

• Own the affiliate dashboard from the partner side and communicate requirements to the dev team.

Requirements

• Proven experience in a relationship-driven sales or partnerships role measured by partner results, not just deal count.

• Highly organized and self-managing, tracking your own pipeline, follow-ups, and metrics.

• Direct communicator—able to speak credibly with senior industry partners.

• Comfortable working in a growing company, building and refining processes as you go.
