About You
You've led at scale. You have 10+ years of experience in channel partnerships, partner sales, or alliances, including leading teams from ICs to senior managers. You've turned market insights into strategies that delivered measurable business impact.
You're strategic and revenue-minded. You've owned partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue targets, designed coverage and capacity models, and built the accountability frameworks that connect partner activity to ARR.
You embrace AI. You don't just use AI tools, you design workflows, build agents, and create playbooks with them. You leverage AI to synthesize partner insights, automate reporting, and shape go-to-market strategies that scale.
You're a channel program architect. You've built tiering structures, benefit frameworks, co-sell/co-market motions, and enablement programs that attract, retain, and activate high-performing services partners.
You're a partner ecosystem builder. Your foundation is in services and consulting partners, and you have a clear point of view on how to evolve into large SIs, alliances, and hyperscalers as the program matures.
You bring financial acumen. You can model partner economics, build business cases, and translate partner-sourced and partner-influenced activity into pipeline and ARR impact for executive audiences.
You're an exceptional communicator and cross-functional operator. You synthesize complex opportunities into clear narratives and drive planning and alignment across Sales, Solution Architects, Customer Success, Partner Operations, Partner Marketing, Finance, Legal, and Product.
You're can define and size new services opportunities. You know what a strong partner services practice looks like, and build the case for why Zapier is the right platform to build it on.
You lead from the front. You're comfortable directly managing high-potential partner relationships when the stakes call for it, using those relationships to model the standard and shape program strategy.
You're data-driven. You set goals, measure outcomes, and adapt based on insights. You build the reporting that gives leadership clear visibility into partner-sourced and partner-influenced business impact.
