Partnerships Lead

Waldium is the autonomous content platform for fast-growing startups. We generate and host high-quality guides, resources, and marketing content that help companies explain their product, educate customers, and increase visibility across AI channels.

YC companies use Waldium to scale their content strategy without hiring writers, designers, or content teams. We make it easy for teams to publish polished, accurate content at the speed they ship product.

We’re backed by Y Combinator and trusted by content, marketing, and growth teams across SaaS, AI, and B2B startups.

About the role

We’re hiring a YC Partnerships Lead to bring Waldium to more YC startups. Your job is to identify strong-fit companies, reach out directly to founders and marketing teams, show them what Waldium can do, and guide them through onboarding.

This is a fast, hands-on growth role. You’ll be the first point of contact for many YC teams and will play a major part in how we expand in the YC network.

What you’ll do

• Identify YC startups that need high-quality content but lack time or resources to produce it.
• Run targeted outbound across email, Bookface, LinkedIn, Slack groups, and warm intros.
• Talk directly with founders, marketing leads, and growth teams.
• Run tight demos that show how Waldium generates long-form content from their existing knowledge.
• Guide companies through onboarding and help them publish their first pieces.
• Track pipeline and activation metrics across YC companies.
• Work closely with the founders to refine positioning and improve conversion.

Your success is measured by how many YC companies you get fully activated each month.

Who you are

• You’re comfortable reaching out directly to founders and marketing teams.
• You can communicate value quickly and clearly.
• You like high-velocity outreach and simple, measurable goals.
• You’re comfortable running demos on your own.
• You understand content marketing well enough to speak to pain points around bandwidth, consistency, quality, and distribution.
• You’re organized, persistent, and good at managing pipeline.
• You’re excited to join an early-stage team and work closely with the founders.

Nice to have:

• Experience in growth, partnerships, outbound sales, or customer-facing roles
• Experience with B2B SaaS or marketing tools
• Familiarity with the YC ecosystem

Why this role matters

Content is one of the highest-leverage growth channels for YC startups, but most teams don’t have time to produce it consistently. Waldium solves that, and your job is to get this into the hands of every YC company that needs it. This role has a direct impact on our growth and visibility in the YC network.
