Founded in 2013, Spring was created with the goal of solving the biggest problem facing advertisers today:  bridging the gap between digital marketing and in-store sales.  To do this, we built a platform that is directly plugged into the payment ecosystem of American Express, Visa and MasterCard and created integrations that allow us to connect promotions to actual consumer spend behavior.  We’ve also strategically partnered with top shopping mall operators, to build an audience of high-intent, in-mall shoppers.

Spring is currently seeking a motivated, technology-savvy Partnership Manager to join our quickly growing Chicago-based startup. This person will be a proactive, detail oriented self-starter comfortable working in an unstructured, start-up environment and have a hunger for finding problems and building innovative solutions.  As Partnership Manager, you will be involved in all facets of the National Enterprise business.  The Enterprise division of Springs provides malls and retailers insight into the Spring operating system, working with them to maximize its success, thus driving greater shopper traffic and increased transaction size.  As part of the Enterprise team, the Partnership Manager will interface closely with the operations and content teams to launch, nurture and help grow our current portfolio of Mall Partnerships.
