Responsibilities
- Joint Go-to-Market Programs: Build and run co-marketing programs with strategic partners, from end to end: partner alignment, asset development, campaign execution, field activation, and measurement. Own the pipeline contribution from partner marketing activity and be accountable for reporting it clearly.
- Joint Events and Activations: Own the partner presence at key industry events (including our own, BreakThrough), co-hosted webinars, and joint field programs. Coordinate logistics, messaging, and follow-up across both sides of the partnership to ensure activations generate pipeline.
- Partner Relationships: Serve as the primary marketing counterpart to partner marketing and alliances teams at key accounts. Build working relationships where partner counterparts actively seek us out. Create opportunities for 6sense to co-present at joint events and develop trust to accelerate joint programs.
- Partner Marketing Metrics: Define what success looks like for partner marketing at 6sense. Work with marketing operations to build reporting infrastructure and communicate results to marketing leadership and BD stakeholders regularly.
- Performance Measurement:
- Partner-Sourced Pipeline: Volume and velocity of pipeline generated through co-marketing programs and partner activations, tracked with clear attribution.
- Partner Marketing Engagement: Depth of engagement from partner counterparts: co-investment in programs, co-branded content produced, joint events executed, and partner-sourced leads generated.
- Enablement Adoption: Usage and effectiveness of partner-facing enablement materials, measured by partner sales team feedback and co-sell conversation rates.
- Program Execution Quality: On-time, on-brief delivery of co-marketing programs—with the partner relationship strengthened as a result.
Competencies and Behaviors
- Influence Without Authority: Operate effectively in an environment where key collaborators (partner counterparts, internal sales, product marketing) don’t report to the same leadership. Build alignment through credibility and relationships.
- Revenue-First Thinking: Connect every program to pipeline and revenue. Measure success by outcomes, not just activities. Ask, "What did this produce?" and design programs to answer that question.
- Partner-Facing Presence: Comfortably represent 6sense externally. Show up in partner conversations with confidence and preparation to be a genuine asset.
- Execution Discipline: Manage the complexity of co-marketing at pace. Deliver joint programs even when approval chains are complex.
- Cross-Functional Orchestration: Work fluidly across product marketing, demand generation, content, field marketing, and BD to bring partner programs to life.
Requirements
- 5+ years in B2B marketing, with at least 2 years in a field marketing, partner marketing, alliance marketing, or ecosystem marketing role where you owned outcomes and field programs.
- Experience working directly with external partner stakeholders, including presenting to partner leadership, negotiating co-marketing agreements, and maintaining productive relationships through disagreements.
- A clear point of view on how to measure partner marketing impact, including handling attribution ambiguity.
- Familiarity with the B2B SaaS technology ecosystem: how ISV partnerships, technology integrations, and co-sell motions work in practice.
