Senior Client Partner

About the role

Babylist is looking for a Senior Client Partner to own and grow a portfolio of brand partnerships across our media, content, and experiential products. Reporting to the Director of Strategic Partnerships, this role sits at the center of how Babylist brings its brand partners to life â from custom Showroom activations and branded content series to social impact programming and emerging partnership formats. This is a senior individual contributor role for a partnerships leader who thinks in long-term relationships, not just closed deals.

What the Role Is

The Senior Client Partner will drive both breadth and depth across new business development and expansion of current partnerships across Babylist’s media and experiential offerings. They will lead end-to-end deal cycles, from prospecting and pitching to proposal development, negotiation, and contract execution. They will also serve as a strategic consultant to brand partners, understanding their business goals, connecting them to the right Babylist products, and knowing when the fit isn’t right. Collaboration with Content, Showroom, and Social teams is essential for developing pitches, executing activations, and ensuring partnerships deliver on both sides. The role requires tracking the competitive landscape and surface relevant market trends to inform partnership strategy, and representing Babylist at industry events and in external partner conversations.

Who You Are

• 7+ years of experience in media, ad sales, retail media, or experiential partnerships — ideally in a consumer brand or publisher environment
• A consultative relationship builder who leads with trust and plays the long game — comfortable saying no to revenue when the partnership fit isn’t right
• Fully fluent in the full partnership deal cycle: prospecting, pitching, negotiation, contracting, and activation oversight
• A strong cross-functional collaborator who knows how to align internal stakeholders and bring partners along through complex, multi-team executions
• Clear and compelling in how you communicate — both in the room with partners and in the proposals and decks you build
• Comfortable operating in a lean, fast-moving environment where you own your book of business end-to-end
• You’re genuinely excited about what AI can do — not just as a concept, but as something you want to get your hands on. At Babylist, every team uses AI daily, and we’re looking for people who lean in.
