About the role
Ramp is building the financial operating system for modern businesses, and our strategic technology partnerships are a core lever for enterprise growth. We're looking for a Senior Channel Partner Manager to own co-sell execution, partner activation, and relationship depth across Ramp's most important technology partnerships — including cloud partnerships with AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle.
Responsibilities
- Own and grow relationships with Ramp’s strategic technology partners, developing executive alignment, joint business plans, product collaboration, and go-to-market initiatives that drive mutual customer value and revenue growth
- Own the end-to-end co-sell motion across Ramp's strategic technology partnerships, driving partner-influenced pipeline generation, marketplace attach rates, and partner-assisted deal closes
- Coordinate joint opportunity registration and deal progression with alliance counterparts at AWS, Microsoft, Google, Oracle, and other key partners; maintain an accurately forecasted co-sell pipeline
- Develop and execute partner activation plans — field seller enablement, co-sell plays, battle cards, and enablement materials for both Ramp's internal sales team and partner field teams
- Drive partner field engagement: account mapping sessions, GTM workshops, joint prospecting, and co-branded events; identify and cultivate partner champions at each alliance
- Own the KPI framework for each partnership — co-sell pipeline, partner-influenced revenue, marketplace transactions, and activation depth — and run quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with partner counterparts
- Build and maintain senior-level relationships (Head of Alliances, SVP of Sales, GTM) at each strategic partner to ensure Ramp is positioned as a preferred co-sell partner
- Support Ramp executive sponsors in joint engagements, partner advisory boards, and strategic roadmap conversations; represent Ramp at partner events and industry conferences
- Manage Ramp's participation in partner programs across AWS, Microsoft, Google, and Oracle — tier maintenance, benefit utilization, and compliance; collaborate with product, legal, and finance on integration roadmaps and deal structures
Requirements
- 7+ years in channel partnerships, alliances, or partner GTM roles with a strong track record in strategic technology partnerships (hyperscalers, enterprise SaaS, or ERP platforms)
- Demonstrated track record building and scaling co-sell motions with AWS, Azure, Google, or similarly structured ISV/marketplace programs
- Experience managing joint business plans, QBRs, and executive-level partner relationships at Fortune 500 technology companies
- Deep knowledge of cloud marketplace mechanics — partner portal workflows, co-sell program structures, and incentive utilization across major cloud providers
- Strong commercial instincts: thinks in terms of pipeline, attach rate, and influenced revenue — improving the overall partnership health
- Exceptional communicator able to run an executive QBR and a field-level account mapping workshop with equal confidence
- Highly organized with the ability to manage multiple partners, cross functional stakeholders, timelines, and deliverables simultaneously; data-driven and comfortable in Salesforce and building metrics dashboards
