Founder Partnerships Lead - Accelerators and Incubators

Full-time

London, United Kingdom
• In office, Hybrid or Remote

GoGorilla is the world's first performance marketing company built on financial technology. We've engineered a platform that hardwires client objectives into every campaign, ensuring transparent, auditable results that traditional agencies can't match. When our clients win, you win. You'll join a high-performance London team where your commercial impact directly shapes your career trajectory and financial rewards.

As Founder Partnerships Lead, you will be responsible for building and managing our relationships with the world's leading accelerators and incubators. You'll create a scalable programme that provides high-potential start-ups with access to our performance marketing platform, helping them to achieve rapid, sustainable growth. This is a strategic role where you'll be a key player in building our brand and pipeline in the global start-up ecosystem.

Day to day, you'll be building relationships with the partners and programme managers at top-tier accelerators, designing and delivering workshops and content for their portfolio companies, and managing a pipeline of new business opportunities. This role requires a blend of strategic thinking, relationship management, and a deep understanding of the start-up journey.

This is a mid-level role available in-office (London), hybrid, or fully remote. For in-office, expect to be in our central London office 3-4 days a week for strategic collaboration. A high degree of flexibility is offered for high performers who consistently exceed their targets. Time tracking is required for any hybrid or remote work to ensure security and progress monitoring, which is an industry-standard practice.
