About the role

Acorns is launching a new product for the tipping economy and is hiring a part-time Community Partnerships Manager in NYC to build trust with barbershops and salons, educate them on Acorns’ financial wellness tools, and drive adoption of the Acorns App within a flexible, field-based role.

Responsibilities

  • Drive field outreach and conduct direct, in-person community visits to barbershops and hair salons within your designated territory.
  • Walk your territory - hitting 10–15 barbershops and salons per day on foot in your city and meet the performance goals outlined for you.
  • Walk-in. Open with Acorns. Educate barbers and stylists on Acorns’ financial wellness tools in plain, accessible terms - no jargon. Demo the product. Keep it under 60 seconds.
  • Introduce barbers and stylists to the Acorns app and encourage them to sign up directly on their own device.
  • Log every visit: shop name, contact, social handles, funnel stage, outcome.
  • Build marquee shop relationships (3–5 per city) - these become your local proof points.
  • Represent Acorns at industry events and meetups.
  • Host local events (customer happy hours, meetups, etc)
  • Capture customer content and insights (feedback, insights, content for social media)
  • Prepare for future market expansion into broader cash-tip and gig economy sectors as our field strategy scales.
  • Represent Acorns in the community. You are the mission made visible.

Qualifications

  • A genuine belief that tipped workers deserve the same financial tools as anyone else.
  • The ability to build trust fast.
  • Active listening.
  • Comfort walking in cold. Resilience when outreach doesn’t lead to engagement.
  • Confidence in a room.
  • An instinct for content - knowing when a moment is shareable and capturing it.
  • Familiarity with barbershop and salon culture.
  • Curiosity.
