This is a senior, externally-facing role ideal for someone who thrives at:

• building strategic alliances,
• identifying shared ICP opportunities,
• negotiating commercial deals,
• driving co-marketing & co-selling motions,
• and turning relationships into repeatable pipeline.

Your success will be measured by pipeline generated, partner-sourced revenue, and partnership retention.

• Evaluate fit, business case, integration opportunity, and revenue potential.

• Develop commercial agreements including referral terms, rev-share, co-marketing commitments, and joint service offerings.
• Maintain strong relationships with C-level and VP-level partner contacts.
• Run quarterly business reviews to strengthen performance and accountability.

• Drive a consistent stream of qualified e-commerce leads through partner channels.
• Manage a partner pipeline dashboard (HubSpot preferred) with forecasting and attribution.
• Collaborate closely with Sales to route, qualify, and accelerate partner leads to close.
• Track partner-sourced ARR/MRR and contribution to revenue goals.

• Lead the creation of co-branded content, events, webinars, case studies, and playbooks.
• Partner with Marketing to launch thought leadership with partner brands.
• Develop a scalable “partner enablement” toolkit to help partners refer opportunities effectively.

• Work with Sales, Marketing, RevOps, and Client Services to ensure seamless partner integration.
• Provide Sales with partner-specific value props, training, and deal support.
• Partner with leadership to define category expansion opportunities and ecosystem growth.

• 5–10+ years in Partnerships, Business Development, Channel Sales, or Strategic Alliances.
• Proven track record building partnerships in:
  • e-commerce,
  • D2C,
  • paid social / performance marketing,
  • influencer marketing,
  • affiliate/CPA ecosystems,
  • tech platforms supporting e-commerce brands.
• Experience with growth-stage or agency environments preferred.
   

• Strong network in D2C/e-commerce (marketers, founders, agency owners, tech partners).
• Ability to develop commercial structures and negotiate win-win agreements.
• Excellent communicator capable of leading C-suite partnership conversations.
• Pipeline-oriented mindset with an obsession for measurable revenue impact.
• Highly entrepreneurial, scrappy, and able to build while executing.

This role is measured by its direct contribution to revenue growth, specifically:

• Partner-influenced pipeline (monthly + quarterly)
• Partner-sourced closed-won MRR
• Partner onboarding, activation, and retention
• Number and quality of strategic partner relationships
• Co-marketing output and lead flow
• Internal adoption of partner programs

• Total compensation: $450,000+ per year (base + performance bonuses + equity)
• Performance-based bonus tied to partner-sourced revenue

• High-growth environment with the autonomy to build and scale a partner ecosystem from the ground up.
