Senior Product Partnerships Manager

What You'll Do

• Own the full lifecycle of strategic product partnerships: source, qualify, negotiate commercial and legal terms, structure the integration with Product and Engineering, launch, and scale
• Translate partner capabilities into product opportunities: work side-by-side with Product and Engineering to scope what's worth building, and with Legal on risk, liability, and regulatory framing
• Negotiate complex commercial terms — pricing, rev share, MSA, BAFO cycles, multi-year structure, data and IP rights
• Quarterback launches across Marketing, Sales, and Solutions to make sure customers actually adopt what we ship
• Build durable relationships with senior counterparts at partner organizations and run formal cadences (QBRs, exec syncs) once partnerships are live
• Define and report against partnership KPIs that map to Ramp's product and revenue priorities

What You Need

• 7+ years across Business Development, Strategic Partnerships, Product Partnerships, Product Management, or a related discipline, with a clear track record of owning deals end to end (sourcing through launch)
• Experience structuring and closing partnerships that required real product and engineering work — not channel referrals or reseller motions
• Strong fluency with API-based integrations: comfortable scoping technical work directly with engineers and PMs, and translating between partner-side and product-side stakeholders
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity — you've picked partners in spaces where there was no obvious incumbent and made the call stick
• Strong commercial instincts: pricing, term structure, risk allocation, and the ability to drive a contract to signature without hand-holding from legal

Nice to Haves

• Background that includes one of the categories above. Strong preference for Product Management
• Direct experience negotiating data, API, or model-access governance terms (MCP, model providers, platform data exposure)
• Shipped a product partnership that opened a new vertical, geography, or category for your company
• Prior exposure to ERP or accounting ecosystems (relevant context, not the primary job)
• Experience as a design-partner manager for early-stage products
