Partner Development Manager Germany (Remote/ Hybrid)

About Truestory

At Truestory, we believe that great experiences make life more vibrant. We’re a curated marketplace that connects passionate local hosts with people looking for unique, memorable moments – whether as a gift or for themselves.

Founded over a decade ago in Denmark and recently acquired by Smartbox, we are now preparing for our next big adventure: launching in Germany. We’re building a team of experience-lovers who are excited to bring something new to the market.

About the Role – Partner Development Manager Germany

As our first Partner Development Manager in Germany, you will be at the heart of launching our platform in a brand-new market. You’ll build our supply of unique, high-quality experiences by identifying, connecting with, and supporting local hosts across the country.

This is a commercial and relationship-focused role, perfect for someone who enjoys creating partnerships, spotting exciting trends, and getting things off the ground in a fast-moving startup-like environment.

Your Responsibilities

• Research and identify the most exciting, high-potential experience providers (hosts) in Germany
• Conduct outreach and engage with potential hosts via email, phone, video calls, and in-person meetings
• Sign new hosts to the Truestory platform and ensure a smooth, high-quality onboarding process
• Collaborate with our content and operations teams to bring each new experience to life on the platform (text, visuals, setup)
• Support hosts post-onboarding: answer questions, resolve issues, and help them succeed
• Maintain and grow relationships with your host portfolio and spot opportunities to improve or expand partnerships
• Represent Truestory in Germany with professionalism, energy, and a passion for authentic experiences

Who You Are

• Love building strong relationships and creating win-win partnerships
• Have a feel for spotting hidden gems and upcoming trends in the experience or leisure market
• Are structured, reliable, and proactive in your follow-ups and communication
• Are fluent in German and confident in English (our internal language)

Working at Truestory

• We work hard, but smart. We respect boundaries, believe in balance, and don’t romanticize overwork.
• We are kind, open, and direct. We say what we mean and value people who take ownership.
• We are evolving. After our Smartbox acquisition, we’re building the next chapter and are proud to now be one of the best-performing teams in the group.
• We value coziness. The Danish “hygge” is still part of our DNA. We want work to feel human.

The Practical Stuff

• Flexible hours
• Competitive salary based on experience and qualifications
• Start date: as soon as we find the right person
