About Romance Fiction Club

Romance Fiction Club connects romance authors with creators, newsletter publishers, and engaged readers. We help authors promote their books while giving creators and publishing partners new ways to earn from their influence.

We are a small, ambitious team preparing for our next phase of growth, and we are looking for someone who wants to help build it with us.

The role

We are looking for a Growth & Partnerships Manager to manage and expand our network of creators, newsletter publishers, and other partners.

This is a hands on, people focused role. You will look after existing relationships, bring new partners onto the platform, solve problems, and help identify opportunities to grow. You will also be involved in daily operations and broader customer support when needed.

As RFC grows, this role can grow with it. There is room to take on more responsibility for business development, commercial partnerships, and larger growth projects over time.

What you will do

Partnerships and relationship management

- Serve as a main point of contact for our creator and newsletter partner networks.
- Manage partner communications, questions, support requests, and day to day relationship needs.
- Help onboard new partners and make sure they have a positive experience with RFC.
- Build strong relationships with creators, newsletter publishers, and other industry partners.
- Identify and resolve partner issues, working with the rest of the team when needed.
- Help improve partner satisfaction, engagement, and retention.

Partner acquisition and business development

- Identify and recruit new creators, newsletter publishers, and potential partners.
- Conduct outreach, introduce RFC, and develop new relationships.
- Look for practical ways to expand our reach and grow our network.
- Identify partnership opportunities that can lead to meaningful business growth.
- Help develop and carry out plans to strengthen our creator and partner communities.




- Contribute to larger commercial partnerships, negotiations, and growth projects as the role develops.

Operations and customer experience

- Manage incoming creator and partner support requests through email and our support platform.
- Help with broader customer questions and operational tasks when needed.
- Work with the team to troubleshoot issues and improve workflows.
- Notice recurring problems and suggest practical improvements.
- Help wherever needed to keep the business running smoothly and our customers happy.

Growth and improvement

- Bring forward ideas to improve our platform, processes, and partnerships.
- Track partnership activity, engagement, and performance.
- Take ownership of projects and see them through from idea to completion.
- Contribute to new initiatives as RFC expands its products and services.

Who we are looking for We care less about a perfectly polished resume and more about finding someone who is smart, capable, motivated, and excited to build something.

You might be a great fit if you:

- Have approximately three or more years of experience in partnerships, business development, account management, relationship management, marketing, or a related field.
- Are an excellent communicator who genuinely enjoys connecting with people.
- Are organized, detail oriented, and comfortable managing several priorities.
- Are resourceful and confident figuring things out independently.
- Have strong problem solving skills and good judgment.
- Are comfortable working in a startup environment where priorities can shift and everyone helps where needed.
- Have a natural interest in business growth and spotting new opportunities.
- Take initiative instead of waiting to be told what to do.




- Are comfortable with both strategic conversations and everyday practical work.
- Want to grow alongside a developing company.

Nice to have

- Experience working at a startup or growing small business.
- Experience with influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, creator partnerships, or digital media.
- Familiarity with social media platforms and online creator communities.
- Experience with customer relationship management platforms, customer support tools, or partnership software.
- An interest in books, publishing, or the creator economy.

Publishing experience is not required. We are much more interested in your abilities, initiative, and potential.
