The Sankofa Impact Collective is seeking a Partnerships Manager to support the intentional growth of its community through trusted, values-aligned relationships. This part-time, contract role is fully remote and open to candidates globally. Sankofa grows through care, integrity, and alignment rather than transactional outreach or rapid scaling. Partnerships are central to this approach. The Partnerships Manager plays a critical role in building and stewarding relationships with organizations, networks, and collectives that already serve engaged communities of women who are seeking sustainability, alignment, and long-term growth. This role ensures that growth happens through invitation, trust, and fit, creating pathways that feel grounded, respectful, and mutually beneficial. Role Overview The Partnerships Manager is responsible for developing and nurturing relationships that support Sankofa’s community growth in a way that aligns with its values and capacity. Rather than focusing on volume, this role prioritizes thoughtful engagement with partners whose missions and communities resonate with Sankofa’s purpose. These partnerships help women doing meaningful work discover Sankofa as a space where their work, leadership, and well-being can be supported over the long term. The Partnerships Manager acts as a steward of these relationships, ensuring they remain values-aligned, reciprocal, and rooted in trust. This is not a sales or lead-generation role. It is a relationship-driven position focused on discernment, long-term engagement, and building an ecosystem of aligned collaborators. Why This Role Matters Sankofa’s growth strategy is centered on sustainability, readiness, and community health. Without careful stewardship, partnerships can become extractive or misaligned, undermining trust and long-term impact. The Partnerships Manager ensures that growth happens at a pace and in a way that feels supportive to both the community and its partners. By cultivating relationships with organizations serving women creatives, entrepreneurs, and leaders, including Black-led spaces and broader communities where Black women are already present and engaged, this role helps create meaningful entry points into Sankofa. The result is growth that feels intentional, relational, and deeply aligned with Sankofa’s mission.
