We are looking for a senior partnerships leader to own the commercial success and ongoing relationship with a portfolio of ’s most strategic embedded partners.
This person will be responsible for driving bookings & ARR across partner-sold and partner-sourced motions (quota carrying). They will own the revenue line for these partnerships and will be accountable for making the partnerships successful commercially, operationally, and strategically.
The role sits at the intersection of partner relationship management, sales leadership, go-to-market execution, and cross-functional orchestration. The primary focus is commercial: helping partners generate demand, enable their sellers, close deals, improve conversion, and build repeatable motions that allow them to sell products increasingly independently. At the same time, this person will be the senior relationship owner for the partner, responsible for partnership health, executive engagement, issue resolution, and long-term expansion.
This is not a “manage the partner relationship and hope revenue follows” role. It is a commercial leadership role where the partnership relationship exists in service of revenue growth, partner independence, and long-term embedded success.
Help partner sellers become increasingly independent in generating, qualifying, selling, and closing opportunities.
Build repeatable partner sales motions across partner-sold, partner-sourced, and co-sold opportunities.
Work with partner sales leaders to embed into their teams’ priorities, workflows, sales processes, and incentives.
Partner with enablement, solutions consulting, partner marketing, and embedded sales teams to ensure partner sellers know what to sell, how to sell it, and when to bring in.
Drive a clear path from -supported selling to partner-led selling, with the goal of reducing unnecessary dependency on while improving commercial outcomes.
Own the overall relationship health with strategic embedded partners.
Build trusted relationships with senior / C-level stakeholders within the partner organization across sales, marketing, product, operations, and executive leadership.
Keep partners engaged, motivated, and accountable to the joint commercial plan.
Unblock issues that slow down revenue growth or damage partner confidence.
Run structured business reviews with clear performance insights, decisions, next steps, and ownership.
Ensure the partner sees as a critical strategic partner, not just another integration or referral option.
Define, test, and optimize sales motions across partner-sold, partner-sourced, and co-sold models. Turn successful experiments into repeatable playbooks that can be used across partners.
Create playbooks for demand generation, enablement, sales process, partner seller activation, deal support, QBRs, and partner performance management.
Advise and influence partners to implement best practices for demand generation and embedded sales in their own organizations.
Identify friction between channels and work with Sales, Partnerships, RevOps, and leadership to resolve it. Share learnings so that gets better with every partnership, not just within one account.
Identify opportunities to expand existing embedded partnerships into new products, markets, customer segments, regions, or sales motions.
Manage a team of partner account managers and embedded sales leads supporting the partner portfolio. Set clear priorities, operating rhythms, and performance expectations for the team.
Coach the team to balance short-term deal support with the longer-term goal of making partner sellers more independent.
Act as the commercial and relationship orchestrator across for the partner portfolio.
Work closely with Product, Solution Architecture, Partner Marketing, Solutions Consulting, Legal, Compliance, Operations, CX, Implementation, RevOps, and Partner Success.
Ensure internal stakeholders understand the commercial priorities, partner context, trade-offs, and urgency.
Escalate clearly when decisions, resources, product changes, or executive support are needed.
