at Instituto Semear

🏢 About Instituto Semear

Instituto Semear is a unique nonprofit that directly addresses educational inequality by providing comprehensive support to low-income university students, not just through scholarships but also mentorship and professional networking. Working here means contributing to a tangible social impact where you can see how corporate partnerships directly transform young lives and futures. The organization's focus on both financial support and holistic development creates meaningful, lasting change in Brazil's education landscape.

About This Role

As Analista Pleno de Parcerias Corporativas, you'll be responsible for the full partnership lifecycle - from prospecting new corporate partners to managing existing relationships and ensuring accountability for partnership deliverables. This role is impactful because every partnership you secure or nurture directly funds scholarships and support programs that keep talented low-income youth in university, breaking cycles of poverty through education.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might involve morning data analysis in Google Sheets to track partnership deliverables, followed by outreach calls to prospective corporate partners aligned with educational impact. Afternoons could include developing customized partnership proposals, coordinating with program teams on partnership implementation, and preparing accountability reports for existing partners to demonstrate how their support is creating tangible educational outcomes.

  • Has proven experience in corporate partnership development within the nonprofit or social impact sector, not just general sales
  • Demonstrates advanced Google Sheets/Excel skills specifically for partnership data analysis, tracking deliverables, and creating performance reports
  • Shows genuine passion for social impact through previous volunteer work, relevant coursework, or career choices focused on education/inequality
  • Can balance relationship-building with meticulous attention to detail for contract compliance and accountability reporting
