Role Overview
We’re hiring a Partnerships Lead to help build and run our partner channel. This is a hands-on role for someone who can recruit, onboard, and grow partners—especially consultancies, agencies, and resellers—and who enjoys the “structured hustle” of partner management: agreements, enablement, QBRs, internal coordination, and prioritizing across a diverse ecosystem.
You’ll serve as the day-to-day owner of partner relationships and partner operations, working closely with the Head of Marketing & Partnerships and various cross-functional teams to drive success.
This is a hybrid role based out of our San Francisco office, 3x a week.

- Ensure partners have the right materials (pitch decks, positioning, product updates, enablement guides).
- Keep partner data organized in CRM/partner tooling; maintain clean notes, next steps, and follow-ups.
What You Bring
- 2-4 years of experience in partnerships, channel, alliances, reseller management, partner marketing, or similar roles in B2B software or services.
- Comfort with commercial details: basic contract flow, negotiation support, and coordinating approvals.
- Strong operating cadence: you’re organized, responsive, and great at follow-through across many parallel partner threads.
- Excellent written + verbal communication; confident running partner calls and business reviews.
- Analytical enough to manage partner KPIs (pipeline, sourced influence, activated partners, engagement).Experience working cross-functionally with Sales and Marketing.
- Big plus : Experience in privacy, security, data governance, martech/adtech, or compliance-adjacent SaaS.
- Big plus: Experience supporting a partner program build (tiering, enablement, deal reg/referrals, partner portals).
- Big plus: Familiarity with common partner motions and expectations for agencies/consultancies.
If you're excited by the idea of helping brands respect consumer privacy while unlocking more value from data, we'd love to meet you.
