Strategic Partnerships Manager

Are you a highly strategic thinker with deep emotional intelligence who excels at turning complex organizational concepts into trusted, long-term relationships? Randstad Professional is currently seeking an exceptional full-time Strategic Partnerships Manager to join the elite team of one of our most innovative clients. Our client is a pioneering advisory firm operating across Canada that specializes in highly sophisticated, high-impact corporate succession planning, organizational transition strategies, and modern wealth-democratization business models.

In this unique permanent position, you will step completely away from traditional, high-pressure "hard sales" environments or aggressive closing metrics. Instead, you will act as a consultative Strategic Partnerships Manager and educational thought leader. Your primary objective will be navigating the critical top of the funnel by identifying mid-market business owners, educating them on specialized corporate transition pathways, and constructing sustainable referral networks with professional channels—such as commercial banks, law firms, accounting practices, and financial advisors.

This role is offered on a hybrid basis, requiring a minimum of one day per week in the Vancouver office, alongside dynamic travel opportunities to represent the firm at nationwide industry conferences.

As a Strategic Partnerships Manager representing a highly sophisticated advisory service, outstanding, clear, and empathetic communication is the absolute foundation of success. Our client operates in a horizontal, transparent, and intensely collaborative startup-meets-corporate culture. The ideal candidate must be highly comfortable navigating ambiguity, taking autonomous ownership of their territory, and reading between the lines to address the natural anxieties business owners face during major transition cycles.

While you do not need to be a technical financial modeler on day one, you must possess immense curiosity and a strong willingness to learn the financial mechanics, valuation concepts, and structural regulations associated with advanced corporate advisory frameworks.

This permanent position operates nationwide within our specialized sales & marketing vertical. While the core team is based in British Columbia, candidate selection is open to top-tier profiles across Canada. Outstanding written and verbal fluency in English is mandatory to effectively engage with corporate partners across national boundaries; advanced fluency or bilingualism in French is considered a highly valuable asset to support the firm's strategic market development across diverse Canadian territories.
