Senior Partnerships Manager

About Realm

Realm is on a mission to help homeowners complete their renovations and new builds with confidence, ease, and financial clarity. We guide them through every step of the pre-construction journey—from understanding timelines and permitting to refining scope and securing financing. We then match homeowners with high-quality contractors, help set expectations, and support them even after construction begins.

We’re an early stage startup founded in 2019 building a category-defining platform for home renovation, a 450+ billion dollar industry with no growing, scaled competitor. Our small but mighty team is based primarily in Los Angeles (Culver City).

In 2024, we doubled revenue and tripled gross profit--and are now ready to go on the offense and prepare to scale. 

Role Overview

We are looking for a strategic, execution-oriented Senior Partnerships Manager to drive the next phase of Realm’s growth through high-impact partnerships. This individual will be responsible for identifying, structuring, and scaling partnerships across consumer acquisition, financing, and materials. You’ll work cross-functionally with product, marketing, and operations to create value for both Realm and our partners, while owning the full lifecycle from initial outreach to long-term relationship management.

This is a highly visible, Los Angeles-based hybrid role (3 days in office) reporting directly to the CEO.

• Serve as the primary relationship manager for Realm’s top-tier partners

• Analyze partnership performance metrics and optimize for growth and impact

• Stay ahead of industry trends and proactively pursue new opportunities in the homeownership ecosystem

Qualifications

• 5–8+ years of experience in business development, strategic partnerships, or GTM roles—ideally in proptech, fintech, or consumer marketplaces

• Demonstrated track record of closing and scaling impactful partnerships at an early stage startup (Series A- Series C)

• Entrepreneurial & resourceful: able to perform your own analytics, create presentations, and devise a strategy from scratch

• Strong negotiation and communication skills, both written and verbal

• Experience reporting to C-Suite or VP level 

• Based in Los Angeles
