The Role:
We're looking for a Senior Partnership Manager to join our Commerce team and drive strategic partnerships that fuel our growth pipeline. This role is critical to expanding our market presence and establishing Lazer as the go-to partner for enterprise commerce solutions.

You’ll represent Lazer at industry events, forge new relationships with decision-makers (AEs, team leads, execs), and generate qualified partnership opportunities to keep our sales pipeline healthy and primed.

This isn’t a traditional sales role — your focus is on connection and co-creation, not closing. You’ll identify the right opportunities and tee them up for our sales team, acting as a force multiplier for our growth efforts.

What You'll Do:

• Foster and develop deep relationships with key Shopify stakeholders, including Account Executives, Solution Engineers, Partner Managers, and leadership team members

• Build and maintain a robust network of contacts across the Shopify ecosystem

• Serve as the primary liaison between Lazer and Shopify, ensuring alignment on strategic initiatives

• Generate qualified leads through strategic partner relationships and referrals

• Identify and pursue new partnership opportunities that align with business objectives

• Develop and execute partner-driven marketing initiatives and co-marketing campaigns

• Represent Lazer at key industry events, conferences, and Shopify-sponsored gatherings

• Plan and coordinate strategic attendance at relevant trade shows and networking events

• Organize and host partner events, meetups, and relationship-building activities

• Collaborate with the Sales team to ensure smooth handoff of qualified leads

• Participate in co-selling opportunities with Shopify and other strategic partners

• Provide market intelligence and competitive insights to support sales efforts

• Develop joint value propositions and partnership messaging

• Create and maintain comprehensive partnership strategies and account plans

• Track and report on partnership performance metrics and ROI

• Identify new partnership channels and revenue opportunities

• Collaborate cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, and Delivery teams

Who You Are:

• 5+ years of experience in partnership management, business development, or channel sales

• Proven track record working with technology platforms, preferably e-commerce or SaaS

• Experience with Shopify ecosystem or similar platform partnerships highly preferred

• Background in agency, consulting, or professional services environment is a plus

• Exceptional relationship-building and interpersonal skills

• Experience with CRM systems and partnership management tools

• Self-motivated with ability to work independently in a remote environment

• Deep understanding of e-commerce landscape and trends

• Knowledge of Shopify platform, apps, and partner ecosystem

• Willingness and ability to travel for industry events and partner meetings

• 🚀 Accelerate Your Growth: Work across multiple industries and cutting-edge projects with a team that ships fast.

• 💥 Maximum Impact: Shape the future of the tech industry by helping ambitious projects reach their potential.

• 🏅 True Ownership: Everyone ships code and has real autonomy with minimal meetings.

• 💡 Continuous Learning: Be part of a team of senior engineers and designers who love learning and knowledge sharing.
  

• 🤖 You Resist Modern Tools: We leverage AI and cutting-edge technology to build rapidly and focus our energy on solving the most complex, high-impact challenges for our clients.

• 🏗️ You Crave High Structure: We thrive in an autonomous, fast-moving environment, which means you need to be comfortable with some ambiguity.

• 😴 You Prefer Conventional Careers: Our consulting approach involves varied projects and direct client interaction — it's not for everyone.

• 1️⃣ You Like Staying in One Lane: Our projects require adapting to different tech stacks and modern tooling quickly.

• 🌐 Work From Anywhere: Choose your workspace — all you need is strong wifi and a passion for building!

• 🧘‍♂️ Work / Life Balance: We believe in our team’s ability to have it all; a great career, and time to unplug and live…you know...life.

• 🩺 Employee Care: We provide full benefits (healthcare, dental, vision) for our employees (401k for our US employees)

• 🏖️ Unlimited PTO: Everyone needs a break. Take at least 15 days off a year, and more if you need—just be cool about it and keep the team in mind.

• 🎉 Regular Team Retreat: Join us for a week of team bonding at amazing destinations. Recent trips include the Dominican Republic, Cancun, and Hawaii — plus ones welcome.
