About the Team

AlphaSense Marketing is a revenue-focused team encompassing demand generation, product marketing, corporate communications, PR/AR, brand, customer marketing, content marketing, and experience marketing. The team drives AlphaSense’s growth by contributing to pipeline and revenue, developing a widely recognized brand, and fostering user engagement both within the product and with the brand. The Student Program, one of the team’s highest-conviction long-term pipeline investments, provides complimentary platform access to students at 30+ leading MBA programs and financial education organizations, building relationships with the next generation of buy-side professionals before they enter the workforce. This role owns the program end-to-end.

About the Role

AlphaSense is seeking a strategic, organized, and commercially minded Student Program Manager to own and grow the AlphaSense Student Program. This new role transitions program ownership from Strategic Initiatives to Marketing, evolving it from a well-built foundation into a fully operational growth channel. You will manage day-to-day operations, including school relationships, user activations and deactivations, partnership agreements, and building a student communications infrastructure. You will also collaborate with Demand Generation and Sales to develop the post-graduation pipeline, converting today’s students into tomorrow’s enterprise customers.

The ideal candidate has experience managing university or professional community partnerships in a B2B or SaaS environment, is comfortable working across Sales, Marketing, RevOps, and CS stakeholders, and understands the long-cycle, relationship-first nature of building a talent and pipeline program. Reporting to the Senior Director of Strategic Marketing Programs, this role is ideal for a program manager with 5-8 years of relevant experience.

Responsibilities

• Program Operations
  • Own the end-to-end student activation and deactivation cycle, coordinating with Revenue Operations to ensure new cohorts are provisioned each semester and graduating classes are deactivated on schedule.
  • Serve as the primary point of coordination with RevOps for all student account activity, submitting activation batches, tracking ticket status, and escalating issues.
  • Maintain SFDC data integrity for all student users, ensuring Pilot and Division fields are accurate and up to date, and working with RevOps to correct data issues promptly.
  • Document and continuously improve the activation process, including edge cases and escalation paths, to ensure the workflow is captured in writing and any team member could run it independently.
• School & Partner Relationships
  • Serve as the primary AlphaSense point of contact for all 30+ approved institutions, including MBA programs, investment clubs, and financial education organizations.
  • Build and maintain a school-by-school relationship map: key contacts, cohort timelines, sensitivities, and relationship history.
  • Work with Customer Success and Marketing to execute outreach to onboard new schools, using a defined eligibility framework to prioritize target institutions.
  • Manage relationships with financial education and professional training partners and identify new partnership opportunities with organizations focused on institutional investment professionals.
• Legal & Agreements
  • Drive completion of the partnership agreement process with all active schools, ensuring every institution has a signed agreement or approved terms of use on file.
  • Coordinate DocuSign outreach and follow-up with school contacts, working with Legal to resolve any outstanding objections.
  • Ensure all new schools are onboarded with a signed agreement as a prerequisite for access.
• Student Communications & Nurture
  • Work with Customer Marketing to build and manage the student communications calendar: welcome messages, mid-term engagement nudges, and off-boarding sequences for graduating cohorts.
  • Collaborate with Demand Generation to develop the post-graduation outreach sequence, bridging student access to commercial conversations for graduates joining target firms.
  • Work with Sales leadership to define and implement the SDR handoff protocol for graduating students.
  • Promote AlphaSenseIQ and other self-serve training resources to maximize student engagement and platform adoption.
• Strategy, Reporting & Growth
  • Own the program scorecard and track active user rates, engagement depth, partnership coverage, and post-graduation conversion metrics.
  • Present program performance to Marketing and Sales leadership on a regular basis.
  • Work with RevOps to solve the SFDC graduate tracking challenge: linking student email addresses to commercial contacts once graduates join target firms.
  • Lead the program strategy, including recommendations on geography expansion and new partnership categories.

Requirements

• 5-8 years of experience in program management, partnership management, or university relations in a B2B SaaS or financial services environment.
• Excellent relationship management skills, comfortable building trust with academic administrators, club leaders, and professional training organizations.
• Strong operational instincts: ability to document processes, manage ticketing workflows, and maintain data hygiene in a CRM without needing to be asked.
• Experience with Salesforce or a comparable CRM; comfortable working with data to track program health and report on outcomes.
• Commercially minded: you understand this is a pipeline program, not just a community program, and are motivated by conversion metrics as much as relationships.
• Excellent written communication skills; able to write clear, on-brand student-facing copy and crisp internal reports.
• Self-directed and comfortable with ambiguity: this role inherits a well-documented foundation but requires significant independent build in the first 6–12 months.
• Familiarity with financial services, investment management, or buy-side research is a strong plus.

Pay

Base compensation range: $116,000—$145,000 USD. Final offer amounts are determined by multiple factors including candidate experience and expertise and may include a performance-based bonus, equity, and a generous benefits program.
