Full company description
Whether you’re a beginning or advanced meditator, Waking Up opens the door to a deeper understanding of yourself—and a new way of being in the world. Description While there is nothing wrong with reducing stress, sleeping better, or boosting productivity, at Waking Up we have a very different focus. Our goal is to fundamentally change the way our users see the world—and to improve their lives in the process. We bring together modern teachers, scientists, and scholars to pressure-test ancient wisdom in ways that no other resource does. Our areas of expertise include mindfulness, Zen, Advaita, neuroscience, psychedelics, contemporary ethics, Stoicism, effective altruism—and we will explore new territory whenever inspiration strikes. But our goal is always to produce a radical shift in perspective. So join Sam Harris—neuroscientist, philosopher, and best-selling author—on a meditation course for beginners and experienced meditators alike. What makes Waking Up different? There are hundreds of meditation apps on the market, and several do a fine job of teaching the basic principles of mindfulness. But Waking Up dives deeper, with both a “Practice” and an accompanying “Theory” section that supports your practice of meditation.

About Waking Up
Waking Up is a meditation and philosophy app founded by Sam Harris. Since 2018, we've helped millions of people understand their own minds, combining guided practice with lessons from neuroscience, philosophy, and psychology. The approach is secular: no beliefs required, only a willingness to examine your own experience. We also give a free membership to anyone who can't afford one, no questions asked.
We're a small team running a subscription business at scale. That means real ownership, visible work, and a high bar.
The role
You'll own partner success and the operational side of our partnerships program. Our partners include platforms, other podcasts and apps, sponsors, and creator affiliates. Most of those relationships will be yours to manage day to day, and a small number of strategic ones stay with leadership.
The job is mainly coordination and relationship health. We want the person partners are glad to hear from, who never lets a detail slip, and who can own the work without being closely managed.
Reports directly to the Leadership team
Contract-to-hire
$100,000-130,000 USD
What you'll do
- Keep every partner relationship on track, coordinating timelines, deliverables, and assets with our marketing and content teams.
- Notice early when a partner goes quiet or a deliverable slips, and get it back on track.
- Run onboarding and kickoff for new partnerships, including the ones leadership brings in.
- Find and pitch new creator affiliates within our standard terms, and bring larger or more complex opportunities to the team. You may take on bigger pitches as you grow in the role.
- Manage affiliates in Impact (onboarding, tracking links, commissions, accurate records) and make sure they have the assets and answers they need.
- Keep a clear record of every partnership and document processes as you go, so the program scales without chaos.
- Work with our data team to report on partner and affiliate performance, and tell us plainly what's working and what isn't.
Requirements
What we're looking for
- Ideally 2–3+ years in partnerships, affiliate management, or creator management
- Strong organization: you keep many threads moving and rarely drop one
- Clear, warm communication, especially in writing
- Comfort with outreach and pitching, including hearing "no" and following up gracefully
- Familiarity with Impact or a similar affiliate platform, and comfort with performance data
- Good judgment about when to handle something yourself and when to ask for help
Experience in meditation, wellness, or podcasts is a bonus, not a requirement.
How we think about AI
We want partnership operations to run on automation wherever it makes sense. You don't need to write code, but when you face a task you'll do two hundred times, your first thought should be how to make it run itself. You'll have engineering support and real say in what gets automated. We want someone who finds that exciting and who is also the person in the room asking how it fails.
Fit
Our members come to Waking Up to think more clearly, and we'd like the same from the people who work here. You don't need to meditate, and you don't need to agree with everything Sam has ever written, but a genuine interest in what we're building will make this a much better job than the same title somewhere else.
Benefits
Healthcare, unlimited PTO, and eligibility for a discretionary bonus
