Responsibilities:

  • Folio is the official purchasing technology provider for the AAHOA Marketplace, serving 20,000+ hotel owners across the country.
  • We're looking for a Partnerships Manager to be the face of Folio within the AAHOA ecosystem: owning the on-the-ground relationship, driving co-marketing execution, and helping grow marketplace adoption across the membership.
  • This is a high-visibility, high-autonomy role.
  • You'll be traveling a significant amount, at AAHOA conferences, regional events, town halls, and golf tournaments building relationships with hotel owners, AAHOA leadership, and supplier partners.
  • Between events, you'll coordinate co-branded campaigns, track & work on hitting adoption milestones, and work cross-functionally with our product and operations teams to support AAHOA member needs.
  • You'll be measured on the health and growth of the AAHOA partnership -- member adoption, marketplace engagement, and the strength of the relationships you build across the ecosystem.

Requirements:

  • 5–8+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, account management, or a senior client-facing role, ideally in hospitality, procurement, or a high-growth startup environment.
  • You've managed complex, multi-stakeholder partnerships involving associations, GPOs, franchise networks, or membership organizations.
  • You have strong executive presence. You're comfortable presenting to a room of hotel owners, navigating a golf outing with AAHOA board members, or running a webinar for 200 attendees.
  • You're organized, detail-oriented, and thrive when you're juggling events, campaigns, and relationship touchpoints across a portfolio of stakeholders.
  • You're willing to travel 30–40%+ of the time, including to major hospitality conferences and AAHOA regional events.
  • Bonus points for: Gujarati language fluency (a significant portion of the AAHOA membership prefers to conduct business in Gujarati)
  • Experience in hospitality, hotel operations, or deep familiarity with the independent hotel ownership community
  • Existing relationships within the AAHOA network
  • Familiarity with GPOs or hospitality procurement.

Benefits:

  • We're a remote-first company. Quarterly, we travel to work together in-person and stay with one of our hotel partners.
  • For the most part, we rely on Google Meet, Linear, Notion, and Slack to make decisions and get things done day-to-day.
  • You will have the opportunity to travel frequently and meet our customers and partners in person.
  • We're a small team who work collaboratively and meet daily for stand up.
