- 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
