The primary objective is to create opportunities for Admonk Academy workshops, masterclasses and events, which can subsequently generate qualified leads and registrations for our paid programs.
This is not primarily an event-management role.
It is a business networking + partnership development + lead-generation role, where events and workshops become the gateway to building relationships and acquiring Academy participants.
Key Responsibilities1. Build the Partnership Network
- Research and identify relevant incubation centres, startup communities, associations and business networks.
- Build and maintain a structured database of potential partners.
- Identify the right decision-makers and initiate conversations.

- Introduce Admonk Academy and its workshop offerings to potential partners.
- Schedule meetings with incubator heads, community managers, association leaders and other decision-makers.

- Coordinate with partner organizations to finalize topics, dates and formats.
- Maintain a pipeline of upcoming partnership and event opportunities.

- Coordinate with the partner organization.
- Manage registrations and participant information.

- Ensure maximum participation.
- Work closely with the Admonk Academy team and trainers.
5. Lead Generation & Follow-up
Every event should create a measurable business opportunity.
- Capture attendee and lead information.
- Identify participants interested in Admonk Academy programs.
- Coordinate timely follow-up with prospects.
- Maintain the lead pipeline and update CRM/lead sheets.
- Track enquiries, counselling conversations and registrations generated from each event.
6. Partnership Performance Tracking
Maintain a monthly dashboard covering:
- Organizations contacted
- Conversations initiated
- Meetings scheduled
- New partnerships
- Events scheduled
- Registrations generated
- Qualified leads
