Head of Partnerships at Sitch

Sitch is a new kind of matchmaking platform, built around the idea that online dating doesn't have to suck and that AI, used thoughtfully, can actually make it better. We launched in NYC in 2024 and are backed by M13, a16z's Speedrun, Jeremy Liew (who wrote Snapchat's first check) and many others. We're expanding to new cities and building a small, high-performance team to help us scale to take on Match Group as the number one way to find your person

• Flexible, founder-backed PTO - We have an unlimited PTO policy, and we actually encourage people to use it

• Ideally NYC-based with flexibility - We do 4 days in the office per week (we're currently scoping space in Manhattan), but we keep things flexible and trust people to manage their own time with 4 weeks of work remotely
