Your mission? To drive substantial revenue growth by forging and nurturing key relationships that will define the future of our company.

Partnership Strategy and Prospecting: Lead the development of a comprehensive partnership strategy alongside the executive leadership team. Identify and prospect potential partners, evaluating their suitability for strategic collaboration. Continuously assess market trends and industry landscapes to uncover new partnership opportunities.
-
Ongoing Partnership Management:Build and maintain strong relationships with existing partners, ensuring their ongoing success. Provide exceptional deal support and negotiation expertise for both new and existing partners. Foster cross-functional collaboration to deliver value and exceed partnership expectations.

Program Development and Reporting:Work closely with senior leadership to conceptualize and develop innovative partnership programs. Craft compelling program proposals, reports, and presentations to communicate value and impact. Develop metrics and milestones to measure partnership effectiveness, ensuring alignment with company goals.
-
Business Planning and Execution: Collaborate with partners to create strategic business plans that drive user growth and revenue. Lead complex negotiations with strategic partners and customers to secure mutually beneficial agreements.

-
Market Insights and Analysis: Utilize analytical insights to optimize partnership performance and unlock growth opportunities. Stay informed about industry trends, competitor actions, and market dynamics. Provide actionable recommendations based on data analysis to drive partnership success.

Your Qualifications:

-
Proven Experience: You have over 5+ years of experience in managing strategic partnerships that drove revenue growth, ideally in the B2B saas industry, ideally in a fast-paced scale-up environment.

-
Adaptability: You thrive in unstructured environments and can quickly adapt to changes. You're comfortable introducing structure where needed and can navigate the complexity of a startup with ease.

-
Strategic Thinker:You have a knack for seeing the bigger picture and understand how individual components interact to form a whole. At the same time, you can also foresee the downstream impacts of decisions made today and you use these to inform your approach on partnership opportunities. You understand when it's the right time to build fast and scrappy, or slow to scale, and how to balance these things to meet both short
- and long-term objectives.
-
Communication: You possess exemplary communication skills, with the ability to articulate partnership objectives, goals and expectations. You are equally eloquent and comfortable communicating in writing, in person, and when speaking to large groups. You can always lead a discussion to an outcome, no matter how many people and different opinions are in the room.
