What does a day in the life of a partnerships manager look like?
Honestly, it's a lot of sending emails, pretty much living in my inbox. I'm managing those relationships, and there's a lot of back and forth.
We talk about different deals that are in the works and brand campaigns that are in the midst of starting or about to kick off. I also check in to make sure those are going well and reach out for renewals where we can, if the partnerships are going well.
Although there's a lot of day-to-day email sending, I'm also always on the lookout for new brands that might enter the podcast influencer space. I also set up calls with our clients to make sure everything's going smoothly on that end. But yeah, for the most part, it's a lot of emails.
