About Bright Harbor
At Bright Harbor, we help communities rebuild stronger after disaster strikes. Our platform redefines disaster recovery by guiding people through the complex process of estimating loss, accessing funding, and coordinating repairs with clarity and confidence at every step.
Our work begins when everything else falls apart. We’re building the navigation system for recovery, and we’re looking for a Partner Marketing Lead who can help to weave Bright Harbor into the heart of the recovery ecosystem, so we can reach people where they most need help.
The Role
We’re hiring a Partner Marketing Lead to build one of Bright Harbor’s most critical growth channels. This is an early stage, high ownership role for a senior, full stack marketer who still loves to execute and can personally own work end to end.
You’ll shape and execute Bright Harbor’s partnership marketing strategy across the full disaster recovery ecosystem, working with both large national institutions and smaller local organizations. This includes some of the largest insurance carriers, brokers, brands, and government entities in the country, as well as grassroots NGOs and regional vendors.
You’ll be responsible for developing integrated campaigns and narratives that partners actively want to participate in. Your work should turn partnerships into meaningful reach and measurable impact for disaster survivors, not just logos or announcements.
The role emphasizes product and content marketing, while requiring comfort owning campaigns across channels and lifecycle stages. You’ll collaborate closely with social, operations, and design partners, while still doing significant hands-on work yourself and retaining clear ownership of outcomes.
What You’ll Do
- Own partnership marketing as a channel: Take full ownership of how partnerships show up in Bright Harbor’s marketing, from positioning and messaging to campaigns, content, and ongoing engagement.
- Develop and execute integrated campaigns: Lead end-to-end partnership campaigns, from concept and narrative development through execution, launch, and follow-through across channels.
- Tell big, important stories with rigor and taste: Translate complex, emotionally charged topics (disaster recovery, risk, climate change, resilience) into clear, compelling narratives that are credible, human, and effective.
- Collaborate with partners: Develop a clear understanding of partner goals across the disaster recovery ecosystem, from national carriers and public agencies to local NGOs and vendors. Collaborate with partners to co create campaigns, toolkits, and materials that align incentives and translate into real reach and real outcomes for survivors.
- Operate as a full-stack marketer: Personally contribute across content, messaging, campaign development, partner toolkits, and other core assets, rather than outsourcing ownership. This includes bridging between partners and their survivor populations, making sure that our collaborative storytelling extends through onboarding and beyond.
- Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with internal marketing, ops, design, and even product teams to ensure cohesive execution, while retaining clear ownership of outcomes.
- Measure and iterate: Define success metrics for partnership marketing efforts and use data, feedback, and judgment to improve impact over time.
What You Bring
- You’ve designed and run multi-channel campaigns that drove meaningful results. (Not just vanity metrics. Actual results that mattered for the business. IYKYK.) We’d expect to see this from folks with 8+ years experience, but years aren’t what matters here: impact is.
- Proven experience working with partners, not just marketing to them, especially in multi-stakeholder or ecosystem-driven environments. You can walk into a room with a lukewarm intro and walk out with 3 ideas for a collaborative campaign that everyone’s excited about. (And you can keep the momentum going so one of them actually happens.)
- Exceptional writing skills and strong editorial judgment; you care deeply about clarity, tone, and quality.
- Deep experience in product marketing and content marketing, with the ability to connect product value to outcomes your audience actually cares about.
- Comfort operating as a high-impact individual contributor in an early-stage environment.
- Strong taste and high standards. You know what good looks like and push work to meet the bar.
- Ability to navigate ambiguity and build structure where none exists.
Nice to Have
- Experience in disaster recovery
- Experience partnering with NGOs, insurance companies, or brands
- Experience working in an early-stage startup environment
