• Execute full‑funnel co‑marketing with partners, including webinars, events, ABM, content syndication, email, and digital campaigns.
• Build partner enablement assets such as co‑branded content, solution briefs, pitch decks, joint case studies, and campaign‑in‑a‑box kits.
• Coordinate launch moments and joint announcements, amplifying Perplexity product launches and major industry moments through the ecosystem.
• Instrument measurement and attribution, tracking partner‑sourced and partner‑influenced pipeline in CRM and reporting ecosystem impact to leadership.

• Proven track record running joint go‑to‑market initiatives with technology and ISV partners, cloud providers, or system integrators, delivering campaigns that generate real pipeline.
• Strong accountability and operating discipline to build plans, hold two organizations to them, and drive follow‑through when commitments slip.
• Exceptional storytelling ability to craft a crisp, differentiated, and credible joint narrative for buyers and executives.
• Full‑funnel campaign execution expertise across webinars, events, ABM, content, and digital, comfortable with hands‑on execution.
• Analytically rigorous with experience setting up attribution and reporting for partner‑sourced and influenced pipeline; proficient in CRM and revenue operations tools.
