Artemis International Solutions

About the Role

We're hiring our first Partnerships Lead to build the partner ecosystem that will become a force multiplier for Artemis's growth.

This is a builder role.

You’ll define Artemis's partner ecosystem strategy from the ground up, recruit and activate strategic partners, establish repeatable partner motions, and build the operational foundation for a world-class channel and alliances organization.

You’ll work directly with the founders and partner closely with Sales, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Engineering.
