WHO WE ARE:

Zwift is the fitness company born from gaming. We use the fun of gaming and the power of communities to inspire and encourage everybody to turn their fitness goals into achievements, from start to finish, wherever your finish line is.

We took the boring indoor running training routine and game-ified it, creating a rewarding social experience shared by a global community.

We’re a fast-growing, solidly backed company defined by a passionate group of creative people. Zwift HQ is located in sunny Long Beach, CA with offices in NYC, London, and Rio de Janeiro.

Partner Strategy: Contribute to strategy evolution. Our strategy around running will evolve as we grow, test, and learn, the guiding principles of which will need to be communicated with partners on an ongoing basis. You will need to balance delivery of existing projects alongside future priorities.


Implementation: Own new and existing programs of many shapes and sizes. You will need to coordinate project contributors and ensure that everything is on track for a successful outcome. You might be responsible for coordinating an event owner, a shoe brand, and Zwift stakeholders to deliver an innovative training partnership.


Learning and improving: Listen, learn, report, recommend, adjust, try again and again! Many of the programs we will run will be first of their kind or new derivations of existing programs. This role requires someone with the curiosity to ask hard questions, the ability to learn from mistakes and a constant desire to optimize the next version.

  • 4+ years Partnerships Experience - Bonus points for Running Industry experience
  • Experience interacting with senior management teams at companies of any size
  • Experience with project leadership and execution
  • Experience of delivering against Growth KPIs
