Partnerships Manager for audiobooks 🎧
Most books will never become audiobooks. Not because the stories aren't worth it, but because professional narration is expensive, slow, and hard to scale. We're changing that.
At Elredo Voice, we build AI narration technology that lets publishers create audiobooks faster, smarter, and at a quality that competes with professional studios. Books that would never have had a voice — now do. We already work with some of the biggest publishers in the world, including Wiley and HarperCollins.
About the role
We’re looking for a Partnership Manager to build and grow relationships with global and local audiobook platforms. You’ll own the full partner journey — from identifying and approaching the right platforms through negotiation and onboarding to ongoing account development.
At the start, the role will be heavily focused on acquisition: opening new relationships and getting partnerships live. The partners you win will remain in your portfolio, so over time the role will naturally combine business development with long-term account management — strengthening relationships, solving issues and growing commercial value.
As the network develops, you’ll also build channel partnerships that bring us new publisher business.
What you’ll do
Identify and prioritise platforms such as Audible, Spotify and local retailers; reach decision-makers and negotiate agreements.
Coordinate onboarding with production, operations and technical specialists, and follow through on distribution issues until titles are live.
Grow partner relationships through promotions, new markets and better processes that support hundreds of titles per month.
Keep a clear partner pipeline and build referral and co-selling partnerships that generate measurable opportunities and revenue.
What you bring
Solid mid-level experience in B2B sales, business development or partnerships, including complex deals and longer sales cycles.
Commercial drive paired with strong account and project management: you open doors, prioritise well and follow through after signing.
Excellent business English for meetings, negotiations, contracts and documentation.
Confidence navigating commercial terms and learning technical requirements, with specialists handling implementation.
Independent ownership, persistent follow-up and strong relationship-building skills.
Active use of AI tools and willingness to travel for partner meetings and industry events.
Experience in publishing, audio, digital platforms or channel sales is a plus. An existing publishing network is welcome, but not required.
Do you have the Elredo heart? đź’›
Your actions speak louder than your words.
You take ownership — and mean it.
You're comfortable with uncertainty and see it as room to move.
You'd rather try and learn than wait and wonder.
At Elredo, you become part of something — not just a team, but a shared mission 🚀. In this role, you'll get real ownership over how we build direct partnerships from scratch, and the freedom — and responsibility — that comes with shaping a brand-new part of the business. We support each other, challenge each other, and genuinely care about how things go — for the product, for the team, and for every partner you bring on board.
What you'll get
Ownership over something new: you'll shape how Elredo builds direct distribution and channel partnerships from the ground up — not maintain an existing playbook.
Real traction to build on: our platform already works with major publishers, including Wiley and HarperCollins, so you're opening doors for a proven product, not pitching from zero.
Direct line to leadership: you'll report to the Sales Lead, with autonomy in daily execution and support from production, operations and tech whenever you need it.
Hybrid work: we're not office-obsessed, but we do like being around each other.
Elredo app credits: so you can listen to the product you're helping bring to more platforms.
