Partnerships Manager at FITT Talent Partners

Fitt Talent Partners is a specialized recruitment firm working with top health and wellness companies.

We’re filling this role for a client advancing the future of personalized health through clinical-grade microbiome testing—helping individuals and practitioners uncover root causes and take a more proactive, data-driven approach to gut and vaginal health.

About the Company

We’re a fast-growing precision health company transforming how people understand and improve their health through advanced microbiome science.

This role will work closely with the Head of B2B Partnerships to generate and qualify leads, support and run deal cycles, close new partnership revenue, and build scalable systems across the partnerships function.

Prior experience in microbiome science isn’t required, but curiosity and comfort operating in a science-forward, data-driven environment is important.
