Marketplace Program Director
Job Description: Marketplace Program Director
About Us
Openforce powers the independent contractor (IC) vendor economy across logistics (delivery), home healthcare, personal care, field services, installation, and beyond. Our Small Business Marketplace is a fast-growing benefit where active IC vendors (small business owners) discover discounts on business expenses to help reduce overhead.
We're looking for a sharp, relationship-driven program director to own and scale our Marketplace program, a role that sits at the intersection of partner sales, program development, marketing, analytics, and IC vendor success.
You'll do more than manage relationships. You'll build the systems, strategies, and feedback loops that turn marketplace offers into real, measurable value for our IC vendors who depend on them. If you thrive at the crossroads of business development and operational execution, and you care about outcomes, not just activity, this role was built for you.
Position Summary
Reporting directly to the CMO, the Marketplace Program Director owns the full growth equation, more partners, better deals, stronger IC vendor engagement, and increased RevShare revenue. Partners don't just get ad placement; they gain access to a verified audience of small business owners who are actively engaged with a platform they trust. You'll need the chops to own this narrative fluently with little hand holding.
What Success Looks Like (over 1st 6 months)
You've mapped the current partner landscape and identified top-priority acquisition targets.
Partner revenue is growing and IC engagement metrics are trending up.
You understand where performance gaps live, and how to steer any conversation toward the highest-value outcome.
Marketplace is a recognized value driver for IC retention and a meaningful revenue stream for Openforce.
Partners view program as top-tier channel for reaching IC Vendor segment, and they're coming to you.

Acquire and Manage Partners, and Generate RevShare Revenue

Reconcile reports to ensure Openforce data matches up to partner reported data.
Grow IC Vendor Engagement
Own the end-to-end marketplace experience for all segments, including onboarding, offer setup, performance tracking, etc... This position will allow you to place your mark!
Grow engagement by championing marketplace visibility across every channel, collaborating with Product to embed promotion within the platform, aligning with Marketing to secure consistent placement across owned and earned channels, and equipping Sales to weave marketplace into the core value proposition for prospects.
