We are seeking a Senior Partner Manager to build, scale, and operationalize high-impact strategic partnerships that drive product innovation, dynamic co-marketing, and building pipeline, revenue, and product adoption.

This role is ideal for a commercially minded partnerships leader who thrives at the intersection of strategy, go-to-market execution, and cross-functional leadership. You will own a select portfolio of strategic technology ecosystem partners, penetrating partner org charts, developing joint value propositions, enabling field teams, and generating measurable business outcomes.

This is not a channel operations role. Success is defined by partner influence, innovative partner campaigns, deal acceleration, and long-term partner leverage.

Key Responsibilities:

Strategic Partner Ownership

Own a defined set of strategic partners

Develop joint business plans with clear pipeline targets (and revenue goals), well-defined GTM motions, and partner executive sponsorship
