Partner Success Manager

About Us 

Clasp is a venture-backed, mission-driven startup transforming access to education and career pathways. We are revolutionizing the way employers attract and retain critical talent, while simultaneously tackling the student debt crisis. (Yep, we think BIG.) Our innovative platform meaningfully connects employers, educational institutions, and diverse talent to drive mutual benefit—using accessible education financing as the thread. We like to think of ourselves as more than a fintech; we’re a catalyst for economic mobility. 

A Forbes Fintech 50 company, portfolio company of SHRM (Society of Human Resource Management — the largest HR organization out there!) and recipient of “43 Start Ups to Bet Your Career On in 2025” by Business Insider, Clasp is driven by our commitment to social impact and innovation. We are reshaping the future of the workforce one opportunity at a time. Join us on our journey to give power to learners and unlock fulfilling careers that drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

The Partner Relationships Manager will have ownership of a portfolio of employer partners. They will play a pivotal role in aligning our sales, Implementation, Product, and Marketing teams to deliver streamlined onboarding, realize early wins, and sustain partner loyalty. They will form deep relationships with stakeholders, understand their needs and goals, proactively manage risks, and seek opportunities for value expansion. Finally, they will collaborate in the advancement of the Partner Success function’s priorities and shape broader business objectives and decision-making as the voice of the partner. If you're excited about using education and technology to solve systemic problems in workforce development—and want to grow with a high-impact, high-growth team—we’d love to hear from you.
