Role:
The Alliance Partnership Manager contributes to revenue growth by owning the strategy, development, activation, and growth of MuniBilling's partner ecosystem across PropTech, GovTech, multifamily, managed service operator (MSO), association, consultant, reseller, referral, and technology channels. This role turns external relationships into measurable partner-sourced pipeline, co-selling opportunities, market intelligence, and long-term strategic value.

• Expanding market reach by developing partnerships that produce qualified referrals, co-selling opportunities, and strategic access to target buyer communities.
• Building an integrated ecosystem around MuniBilling through complementary PropTech, GovTech, property management, submetering, payments, financial, cost-recovery, and consulting relationships.
• Translating partner and market insight into clear commercial opportunities, product feedback, enablement needs, and Voice of the Market intelligence.
• Establishing MuniBilling as a trusted utility billing platform in multifamily and public-sector ecosystems through disciplined partnership execution and thought leadership.

• Develop and execute an ecosystem strategy for multifamily, MSO, PropTech, GovTech, associations, consultants, referrals, resellers, and technology partners.
• Identify, qualify, prioritize, and recruit partners based on strategic fit, market access, solution complementarity, commercial potential, and ability to execute.
• Own partnership development from initial outreach through discovery, mutual value definition, agreement, onboarding, enablement, activation, and ongoing growth.
• Lead partnership discussions and coordinate NDA, agreement, commercial-term, and governance workflows with executive, Finance, Legal, Product, and Revenue stakeholders. Build joint business plans that define target markets, use cases, referral or co-sell motions, responsibilities, enablement, metrics, and review cadence.
• Create and maintain partner profiles, stakeholder maps, account maps, activity records, opportunities, next steps, and attribution in HubSpot CRM.
• Collaborate with Account Executives and the Value Engineering Lead to convert partner introductions into well-qualified, supportable opportunities without duplicative discovery.
• Collaborate with Marketing on co-marketing campaigns, partner communications, event strategy, webinars, case studies, and sales enablement.
• Collaborate with Product and technical stakeholders on integration opportunities, partner requirements, product gaps, and enhancement requests while ensuring commitments align with confirmed product capabilities.
• Use AI-enabled tools to support partner research, account mapping, enablement materials, meeting summaries, follow-up communications, nurture content, and co-sell activity updates.
• Leverage AI-driven insights to identify ecosystem trends, partner-fit signals, engagement risks, pipeline patterns, and recommended next actions, while validating AI-generated claims, attribution, market intelligence, and enablement content before use.
• Maintain human ownership of strategic partner selection, relationship commitments, commercial terms, confidential information, and representations of product capability.
• Represent MuniBilling at partner meetings, industry associations, conferences, executive conversations, and strategic networking events. Maintain market, competitor, channel, regulatory, and ecosystem intelligence and translate observations into actionable recommendations.
• Provide weekly, monthly, and quarterly visibility into partner activity, pipeline, risks, decisions, and projected outcomes.
