About the job

What You'll Do

  • Plan and execute partner-led campaigns and programs end-to-end, including webinars, co-branded initiatives, events, contests, newsletters, and other activation channels.
  • Convert warm intros into structured partnerships: sponsorships, endorsed-vendor status, member benefits, co-hosted events, and educational programming.
  • Build and maintain partner enablement resources in collaboration with Marketing and Sales.
  • Partner with RevOps to track partner-sourced pipeline and revenue, and surface insights on campaign and partner performance.

  • Experience running a high-volume, repeatable relationship motion across many accounts at once.
  • Presence and polish to be taken seriously by partnership organizations and established business owners on day one.

  • Excellent communication and credibility that earns trust quickly.

Who You Are

  • A closer and a builder, energized by opening a channel nobody else has cracked.
  • Bring presence and credibility, and can hold a room of seasoned business owners.
  • Organized and high-throughput, able to keep dozens of relationships moving at once.
