We are Hiring: Strategic Growth & Partnerships Lead 

Remote | USA-based | Part-Time | Contract-to-Hire Potential | Pacific Time 

Deadline to apply: Oct 17, 2025

Summary


Weekly Hours: ~20
Role Type: Contract

At Racial Equitecture® (R+E®), we guide organizations through moments of fracture, emergence, and reimagining.

We achieve this by anchoring our strategy in belonging, reframing our relationship to uncertainty, and building offers that hold complexity rather than collapse under it.

Now, we’re seeking a strategic and relational partner to support our next chapter of growth, through curated, intentional opportunities and some lighter social media outreach.

This role goes beyond a traditional sales, grant writing, or RFP response role.


It’s a position for someone who can help to create a brand new opportunity development function, feel timing, read resonance, and frame atypical offers with precision and care.

You’ll partner with our CEO and internal staff to shape the way our work enters the world—how it’s positioned, who it reaches, and how we build relationships that are ready for transformation.

This is a part-time, remote role in the U.S. with flexible scheduling, but aligned with Pacific Time hours.

What You'll Do

As Strategic Growth & Partnerships Lead, you will be responsible for building a pipeline of aligned opportunities. You’ll hold three main areas:

Pipeline Development + Licensing Pathways

  • Build and maintain a 20+ lead quarterly warm pipeline with relational tracking
  • Develop and implement high pipeline conversion strategy: 50% or more
  • Ability to Drive Relationship-Driven Discovery & Create Credibility-Trust Acceleration Assets
  • Maintain shared ‘Top 10 Opportunities’ list by stage, projected value, and revenue contribution toward quarterly goal

Revenue Forecasting + Strategy/Ops

  • Build a Forecast Scenario Plan that maps offer sequencing, team bandwidth, and revenue pacing
  • Close a target number of deals/quarter, regardless of offer format
  • Design, test, & iterate on three high-conversion invitation pathways (insight letters, warm introductions, catalytic convenings, etc.).
  • Track and report interest signals, client feedback, and pipeline status monthly to the CEO

Strategic Offer Positioning

  • Co-author insight memos, opportunity maps, and strategic invitations
  • Co-refine premium offer decks that communicate urgency, transformation, and ROI (differentiated by client type)
  • Partner with CEO and other in-house staff to draft quarterly opportunity memos (what to pursue, pause, or reshape based on current conditions)
  • Coordinate insight sessions, roundtables, speaking engagements, and conferences (private and public) with/for the CEO 
  • Package emerging offers into polished, relationship-forward invitations
  • Collaborate with the CEO and other staff to evolve premium offers in real-time
  • Translate lived impact into compelling offer architecture with other staff members

 

You Might Be a Perfect Match, if...

What You’ve Led or Built

  • You’ve led revenue strategy or business development in a firm, foundation, or consultancy that delivers strategic, not transactional, services
  • You have worked closely with executive teams on offer design, client positioning, or major opportunity cultivation

How You Operate

  • You are fluent in nuance — you can feel when a deal is resonant, when a frame lands flat, or when a lead is not aligned
  • You understand power, discretion, and timing — and how to move revenue forward without urgency or spectacle
  • You have no interest in mass marketing — you’re driven by quiet momentum and clear positioning
  • You bring a relational, anti-extractive approach to growth and outreach

What You Excel At

  • Exceptional writing and synthesis — you translate nuance into clarity
  • Executive-level design sensibility with decks, reports, dashboards, and storytelling tools
  • You can work independently while partnering well with a visionary founder/CEO
  • Building operational workflows to support efficient output and efficacious outcomes

What Tools You’re Fluent In

  • Building AI Workflows, responsibly
  • Make, AirTable, ClickUp
  • Canva, Descript, Google Suite, and Dubsado 

 

You might not be a match if:

  • You’ve only held VA, outreach, or execution support roles and haven’t directly stewarded or shaped major opportunities.

  • You require frequent step-by-step guidance to move through ambiguity.

  • You excel at visibility, but not at discernment or high-fit lead cultivation.

  • You’ve never contributed directly to a deal valued above $25K.

 

 

What to Expect

We approach hiring the way we approach our work—with intention, depth, and care. We’re not looking to simply fill a seat. We’re looking for alignment. For resonance. For the right match, in the right moment, for the work that’s ready to be carried forward.

Our interview process is multi-step and rigorous—not as a test, but as a shared inquiry into complementariness, right reciprocity, and possibility.

When You Click "Apply"...

The application form will ask for a short note—written or recorded—where you share a moment you helped shape or close a meaningful opportunity. Something that felt aligned, well-timed, and thoughtfully led.

The form is simple, and you don’t need to build anything new or overexplain, we’re looking for evidence of how you work, and you’re welcome to redact sensitive details.

You’ll also be invited to upload three supporting materials from your actual work:

  • Closed Deal Snapshot – A one-page outline of a deal you helped move forward. No need to include confidential terms, we want to see how it originated, how you moved it forward, and what approach you used.

  • Revenue Scenario Plan or Pacing ModelA lightweight forecast or planning tool you’ve built or used to help a team hit a revenue target with intention.

  • Narrative Framing Document or Insight MemoA sample of strategic writing used to reposition an offer, frame a moment, or help a client organization “see the why.”

If the request resonates, we look forward to learning from what you’ve carried and created.

We'll be reviewing submissions on a rolling basis.
