Who We Are
We’re a fast-scaling software startup redefining how businesses solve complex challenges. Our platform is helping enterprises transform and simplify critical operations, and as we accelerate growth, we’re looking for a dynamic VP of Partners & Alliances to build and lead our global partner ecosystem.
This is a senior leadership role for a strategic thinker who’s equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves. If you’re passionate about building from the ground up, forging high-impact partnerships, and scaling revenue through innovative go-to-market strategies, we want to hear from you.
The Role
As VP of Partners & Alliances, you’ll own our global partner and alliance strategy, focusing on scaling revenue through consultancies, system integrators (SIs), ISVs, and software partners. This is a foundational role with both strategic and execution responsibilities—you’ll build a scalable partner program, lead a high-performing team, and collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success to drive indirect growth.
You’ll define how we partner, who we partner with, and how we win together.
