About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Own a portfolio of 2-3 product partnership domains across AI infrastructure (15-25 partners), MCP, IDE integrations, SDK generation, or platform partners — end-to-end: strategy, partner relationship, R&D integration, GTM motion, and impact measurement
  • Drive integration depth - sketch the integration, work with PMs and engineers on both sides to scope it, push it through to launch
  • Build joint GTM motions with each partner: launch comms, co-marketing, joint enablement, sales plays
  • Measure and report partner impact regularly - installs, MAU, joint pipeline, partner-attributed revenue, integration usage
  • Be the partner's primary day-to-day contact at Postman - own the partner relationship, run the cadence, escalate when needed
  • Position Postman Fabric Gateway, the MCP ecosystem, and IDE integrations into partner conversations where relevant
  • Feed insights back into the broader partner strategy and roadmap
  • Document playbooks and patterns reusable by future ICs on the team
