About the Job
We are currently taking a major brand partnership to market for The Tripman, the internet’s most loved unscripted rideshare karaoke experience. Across YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, and Instagram, he commands an audience of over 2,000,000 followers. By turning his car into a karaoke club, his content captures raw human chemistry, spontaneous passenger moments, and organic reach that standard car commercials cannot match.
We are hiring a Head of Automotive Partnerships to own the sales strategy, lead C-suite outreach, and close The Tripman's official Global Automotive Partner.
