Partner Marketing Manager

Spot AI · San Francisco, CA · 6 days ago
On-siteMarketing$140k–$155k/yrFull-time

Your assignment.

  • Own the Partner Narrative
  • Enable Partners to Sell
  • Drive Category Creation Through the Ecosystem
  • Build the Partner Pipeline Engine
  • Move Fast and Iterate

Who you are.

  • You are a storyteller, a systems thinker, and a commercial operator.
  • You likely:
    • Have experience owning partner marketing, channel marketing, or ecosystem GTM with clear examples of programs you built and pipeline they generated
    • Understand both channel (VAR/reseller) and technology partner motions, and can articulate why they require different approaches
    • Have worked in B2B marketing at a startup or growth-stage company where the playbook was still being written
    • Know how to write for partners and their end customers, not just internal audiences
    • Think in terms of joint value propositions and shared ICPs, not just product features
    • Are energized by building from scratch and figuring things out without a clear formula
    • Have used AI to meaningfully accelerate your own work: research, content, enablement generation
  • You might be an especially strong candidate if you:
    • Have experience in a startup or category-defining company where you built the partner marketing function from scratch
    • Have worked in or marketed to industries like manufacturing, logistics, retail, or construction
    • Have experience with both channel and technology partner ecosystems simultaneously
    • Are a driven, hungry builder who is more motivated by generating pipeline than managing a content calendar

This role may be a strong fit if you:

  • Want to own outcomes, not just programs
  • Are comfortable moving between writing a partner one-pager and sitting in a joint business planning session
  • Think in terms of the partner’s customer, the shared market, and the category, not just the product
  • Enjoy working across internal teams and external partners to get things done

This role is likely NOT a fit if you:

  • Prefer a defined scope with established partner programs already in motion
  • Have primarily worked in large organizations where partner marketing infrastructure was already built
  • Want to focus on brand or content marketing rather than commercial outcomes through the ecosystem

Compensation and benefits highlights.

  • Annual Base Salary Range: $140,000 - $155,000. The offered salary will depend on your location within the U.S. and your demonstrated skills and competencies for the role.
  • Meaningful early stage equity
  • Medical, dental and vision plan options with little-to-no cost for employees and dependents
  • Company paid short- and long-term disability plans
  • Company paid life insurance
  • 401K with 4% Employer Match
