• Develop and execute go‑to‑market strategies with partners to drive acquisition of new clients across all relevant markets.
• Track, forecast, and analyze partnership performance; identify and act on growth opportunities within existing relationships.
• Serve as the partner's internal ambassador—aligning Sales, Presales, Product, and Marketing to ensure implementations are delivered successfully.

• Support the implementation of global partnerships at the regional level, establishing relationships and GTM initiatives with regional partner organizations.

• +7 years of experience in strategic partnerships, channel management, or business development in B2B tech—CPaaS, SaaS, telecom, or API‑based businesses preferred.
• Proven track record of growing revenue through existing partner relationships—not just maintaining them.
• Experience managing top‑tier or enterprise‑level partner accounts, including executive relationship management.

• Startup or high‑growth company experience is a plus—agility and initiative are valued.

• Structured, data‑driven approach to planning and reporting; comfortable working in Salesforce.
• Background in management consulting or experience owning a P&L or quota‑carrying role is a plus.
• Thrive with autonomy—create your own path, hold yourself accountable, and decide where to invest time to drive results.

Salary Range: $140,000–$165,000 USD annual base salary (the final amount will be based on a variety of factors such as internal equity, job‑related knowledge, experience, education, and skillset). This role is also eligible for quarterly discretionary bonus.
