Description

About us Sparrow is the first high-tech, high-touch employee leave management solution. Our mission is to make it simple for companies to provide their employees with all kinds of leave (i.e. family, medical, etc.). Currently, the leave management process is painful and inefficient for everyone. Company leaders struggle to keep up with regulations and processes that change frequently, and the employees going on leave are overwhelmed by bureaucracy at an exceptionally important juncture in their career. Sparrow transforms this ordinarily tedious, error-prone, complex to remain compliant, and time-consuming process into a 30-minute end-to-end experience saving teams time (20 - 40 hours per leave) and money (up to $30K per leave). Sparrow is headquartered in San Francisco with remote employees across the country. Sparrow is a diverse, highly talented, and supportive team. Together, we are hardworking, collaborative, smart, and humble—after all, we’re solving real problems. About the role As Director of Consultant Relations, you will drive the development and go-to-market execution of our strategic partnerships, while strengthening and expanding Sparrow’s relationships with key brokers, consultants, and channel partners. This role demands an innovative, solution-oriented leader with expertise in both program development and relationship management. Working closely with the Head of Channel Sales, you will identify new opportunities, nurture long-term partnerships, and spearhead market expansion to solidify Sparrow’s position as the top leave management solution for caring companies nationwide. In this role, you will be responsible for: Channel Enablement & GTM Strategy: Develop and launch innovative programs that incentivize and empower partners to effectively sell and support Sparrow's product.

Drive the adoption of these partnerships, ensuring we’re meeting the expectations of the program and achieving shared revenue goals. Relationship Building & Partner Engagement: Nurture and build long-term relationships with key brokers, consultants, and other influential channel partners to drive awareness and adoption of Sparrow’s services. Serve as the primary point of contact for high-value strategic partners, ensuring open lines of communication and mutual growth. Strategic Growth & Expansion: Identify and secure new strategic growth partnerships that will expand Sparrow’s reach and presence in the marketplace. Collaborate with the leadership team to define and implement strategies for national expansion through channel partners. Work with cross-functional teams to identify opportunities for product and service enhancements based on partner feedback and market needs. Set and track performance metrics to evaluate the success of channel initiatives, ensuring alignment with Sparrow’s overall sales and growth objectives. About you Experience: 5+ years of experience in channel sales, partner management, or business development in the benefits or HR tech industries.
