About the Role
Attentive’s Partnerships organization is one of the fastest-growing teams within the company, and we’re looking for experienced partnership and sales talent to help accelerate our growth. In this role, you will collaborate closely with Account Executives and partners to create a seamless buying experience, driving multi-product sales across SMS, Email, and AI solutions. You’ll play a key role in developing and scaling a repeatable co-selling process that increases deal flow and accelerates revenue growth.
As a Senior Strategic Partner Development Manager, you will drive revenue growth by executing a co-selling motion with our agency partners. This quota-carrying role goes beyond traditional partner management as it requires direct sales execution, including running discovery calls, conducting demos, and leading pricing and negotiations. You will be responsible for managing and expanding a portfolio of 20-30 high-value partners while identifying and onboarding new up-market partners to strengthen our ecosystem.

- Provide regular reporting on partner-driven revenue, pipeline health, and key success metrics to senior leadership
Your Expertise
