Meet AppSumo
AppSumo is the digital marketplace trusted by 1M+ entrepreneurs.

We’ve helped launch top B2B tools like Mailchimp, Evernote, Intercom, and Dropbox, just to name a few.

Our slogan?

Work doesn’t have to suck.

What does that mean?

We don’t want to work soul-crushing 9-to-5s.

We love it here because what we do actually matters: supporting digital creators and entrepreneurs who want to build lifestyles they’re passionate about.

With thousands of successful product launches and over a million entrepreneurs served, we’re on a mission to open the doors of entrepreneurship to everyone.


You in?
The opportunity
This job is all about providing support for our partners (i.e., the folks who list products on AppSumo) through their deal launch.

You’ll serve as a manager over our Partner Operations Associates.

If you’re a natural-born executor who’s hyper-organized, detail-oriented, and overly prepared for any situation, you’re just the kind of person we want to talk to!
What you’ll be doing

  • Leading a team of high performing Partner Ops Associates who oversee partner launches from start to finish
  • Communicate with our partners over email, Slack, and video conferencing
  • Work cross-departmentally with the sales, content, and partner success teams to manage the onboarding process and stay on top of calendar deadlines
  • Provide advice and action items to help our partners level up their products for our customer base
  • Anticipate potential obstacles for our partners and devise creative solutions
  • Work with software such as MixMax, MeisterTask, Slack, and Freedcamp to manage partner communications and deals

This is a unique role that requires juggling a high volume of tasks, adapting to an ever-changing environment, and wearing multiple hats.

Must-have skills

  • 2+ years of previous management experience, preferably over a team of PMs or Project Coordinators
  • Experience at a SaaS, ecommerce, or web-based company
  • A strong attention to detail and an unparalleled level of organization
    – your sock drawer puts Marie Kondo to shame
  • A desire to drive results through well-crafted processes and critical thinking
  • The ability to effectively communicate with different types of learners
  • Familiarity with Excel, Google Workspace, and outbound email sequencing

Bonus skills

  • HTML, JSON, or coding
  • Browser developer tool consoles
  • API-based systems
