ABOUT THE ROLE
The Strategic Alliances Manager drives high-impact corporate partnerships that expand access to books and educational resources for children in need.

This role is ideal for a partnership, fundraising, or account management professional who is eager to deepen their experience in corporate social responsibility and cause marketing within a mission-driven organization. The Manager serves as a key contributor on the Strategic Alliances team, helping steward existing relationships, execute campaigns, and identify opportunities for engagement and growth. This position offers meaningful exposure to partnership strategy, cross-functional collaboration, and portfolio development. Over time, the role offers opportunities for expanded responsibility based on demonstrated performance and organizational needs.
The Manager collaborates extensively with colleagues across the organization to ensure partnership initiatives align with First Book’s mission and operational goals. This position reports directly to the Sr. Director of Strategic Alliances, Corporate Partnerships.
