The Urban Land Institute is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit research and education organization supported by its members. Founded in 1936, the Institute has more than 48,000 members worldwide representing the full spectrum of land use and real estate development disciplines across private enterprise and public service. ULI's mission is to shape the future of the built environment for transformative impact in communities worldwide.
ABOUT THE TEAM
ULI's Corporate Partnerships program is one of the organization's most important engines. More than 70 active corporate partners, from global real estate firms to major institutional brands, contribute over $11 million in annual revenue through memberships, event sponsorships, and strategic investments. That support powers ULI's annual meetings, District Councils, research, and educational programs.
The Partnership Services team is the group these partners rely on. It manages the day-to-day relationships across the full portfolio and executes every sponsorship at ULI's flagship Spring and Fall Meetings, from deliverables and registrations through on-site activations. It is a small, close team with a high service bar, and it is growing.
THE ROLE
This is a new position, created because the program has outgrown a team of two. Reporting to the Vice President, Partnership Services, the Senior Associate becomes the go-to contact for a set of corporate partners and the operational backbone of sponsorship delivery for ULI's largest meetings.
Most of the job is service and execution done well. Partners notice when a registration is handled the same day, when a stewardship report lands on time and reads cleanly, and when the person on the other end of the email knows their account. This role is for someone who takes pride in that standard.
There is a clear growth path. You will start by learning the portfolio alongside the VP and Senior Manager, attend the Fall Meeting early in your tenure, and step into managing your own portfolio of corporate partner accounts as you build confidence, with real relationships and renewals attached to your name.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
Partner Service and Account Support
- Serve as the day-to-day contact for a portfolio of corporate partners: registration requests, member roster updates, access needs, and general problem solving.
- Deliver the white glove experience ULI's partners expect, including managing their registrations for major meetings.
- Support partner renewals across the year, working 60 days ahead of each renewal date, and over time own renewals for your own accounts.
- Handle ad hoc partner research and time-sensitive requests with speed and grace.
Sponsorship Execution for Major Meetings
- Support sponsorship delivery for the Spring and Fall Meetings: tracking deliverables, invoicing sponsors, managing event registration requests, and supporting on-site activations.
- Attend the Spring and Fall Meetings, working alongside the team on site and building relationships with partners and members face to face.
Reporting and Stewardship
- Pull and analyze partner data from ULI's CRM with the Operations team.
- Prepare annual engagement reports that show each partner the full value of their relationship with ULI: memberships, event participation, speaking opportunities, and more.
- Produce post-meeting stewardship reports for sponsors, up to 50 per meeting, to a consistently high standard.
Communications
- Own the quarterly corporate partner newsletter, from content coordination through deployment via Real Magnet.
- Draft clear, professional partner-facing correspondence and materials.
Cross-Team Coordination
- Work with the meetings, product council, and other ULI teams to deliver on partner expectations.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR
Required
- 2-3 years of experience in account management, partnerships, client services, sponsorship fulfillment, or nonprofit development, ideally including responsibility for your own accounts or client relationships.
- Genuine comfort communicating with external contacts at every level, from executive assistants to CEOs and CMOs, with polish and confidence.
- Strong Excel skills beyond the basics: you can build, manipulate, and maintain spreadsheets and work comfortably with data every day.
- Exceptional organization and prioritization. Renewals, meeting deadlines, and partner requests overlap constantly, and this role requires knowing what matters most right now.
- Strong written and verbal communication; you can draft professional correspondence and reports without heavy editing.
- A collaborative, positive, no-ego approach: you work well in a small team, take feedback, and pitch in wherever needed.
- Grace under pressure and a customer service mindset.
- Proficiency in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
- Bachelor's degree required.
Preferred
- Experience in an association, nonprofit, or membership organization.
- Event or conference sponsorship experience.
- Familiarity with email marketing platforms (Real Magnet or similar) and CRM or AMS systems (such as NetFORUM).
- Interest in real estate, land use, and the built environment. Sector knowledge is not required; curiosity and a willingness to learn ULI are.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
In your first 90 days, you will learn how ULI and its partnerships work by sitting alongside the team, meeting the internal groups you will work with most, and experiencing a Fall Meeting up close. You will not be thrown into the fire; onboarding here is deliberate and thorough. By the end of year one, you are the trusted first call for your partners. Your accounts renew on time, your stewardship reports and newsletter are consistently strong, and the team is measurably faster because of the work you have taken on. Over time, your portfolio grows, your partner relationships deepen, and you are contributing directly to the retention and growth of one of ULI's most important revenue programs.
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
The salary range for this position is $65,822 to $71,581. Actual compensation will be based on experience, education, skills, and other job-related factors. ULI offers a comprehensive benefits package including health, dental, and life insurance; generous vacation leave; and retirement plan with employer match. Travel is not a formal requirement of this role, though attendance at ULI's Spring and Fall Meetings is expected.

Tips for Your Partnerships Associate Job Search
Quantify your partnership pipeline contributions
Hiring managers want to see deal counts, revenue influenced, or partner onboarding numbers, not vague descriptions of relationship management. Pull specific figures from your current or past role and lead every bullet with an outcome, not a task.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists partnerships associate openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Tailor your resume to partner type
Channel partnerships, integration partnerships, and affiliate programs each have different workflows. Reframe your resume language to mirror the specific partner type the job description emphasizes, because recruiters in this space read for that alignment immediately.
Research the company's existing partner ecosystem
Before your interview, map out who the company already partners with and identify one or two gaps or expansion opportunities. Bringing that analysis into a conversation signals commercial awareness that generic preparation never will.
Demonstrate CRM and co-selling tool fluency upfront
Partnerships roles increasingly require hands-on experience with partner relationship management platforms and CRM systems. Name the specific tools you have used in your resume summary and again during the interview, rather than waiting to be asked.
Negotiate scope, not just compensation
When you receive an offer, clarify which partner verticals you own, what your quota or KPIs look like, and whether you have budget authority for co-marketing. Ambiguity on those points causes role mismatch more often than any compensation gap does.
Partnerships Associate Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most partnerships associates?
The companies hiring the most partnerships associates right now include DoorDash, Meta, and Sony Music Entertainment, with the largest share of openings in California, New York, and Illinois, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. SaaS companies and fintech platforms consistently account for a large portion of partnerships associate demand.
How many partnerships associate jobs are remote?
About 69% of partnerships associate openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting the relationship-driven nature of the role, which often requires flexibility in time zones. Integration and technology partnership tracks tend to offer the highest share of remote arrangements compared to channel or field-facing roles.
How do you become a partnerships associate?
Most partnerships associates start in sales development, account management, or marketing before transitioning into a dedicated partnerships function. Building familiarity with co-selling motions, partner onboarding workflows, and CRM tools accelerates that move. Networking within partner teams at your current company, or taking on cross-functional projects that touch external relationships, is often the most direct path in.
Can you get a partnerships associate job with little experience?
Yes, entry-level partnerships associate roles exist and typically value sales or customer-facing experience over a specific partnerships background. Framing internships, account management, or even collegiate club leadership in terms of relationship-building and external stakeholder management makes a resume more competitive. Smaller companies and startups are generally more open to candidates who demonstrate commercial instincts over a lengthy resume.
What does the partnerships associate interview process look like?
Most partnerships associate interview processes include an initial recruiter screen, a hiring manager conversation focused on your experience managing external relationships, and at least one case study or presentation exercise where you develop a mock partnership pitch or co-marketing plan. Final rounds often involve meeting cross-functional stakeholders in sales, marketing, or product, since partnerships associates work closely with all three functions day to day.
Where can I find and apply to partnerships associate jobs?
You can find and apply to partnerships associate jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your experience level and specialization, then apply directly to each listing that fits your background and goals.
