Job Description

As Partner Growth Manager, you will play a pivotal role in fueling the growth of our platform by sustaining and energizing our established partnerships. This role owns a portfolio of channel partners to create movement through active engagement, education, and growth.

You will act as a trusted advisor to long-standing partners, maintaining strong relationships while proactively identifying opportunities for expansion. You'll directly contribute to company goals by balancing relationship health, partner education, and retention with a genuine drive to uncover growth through channel-led sales.

This is a high-impact, cross-functional role responsible for cultivating long-term partner success and turning relationships into revenue.

Key Responsibilities

Portfolio Management & Partner Health
  • Own and manage a portfolio of established partners, using data and health scoring to prioritize outreach across the book of business.
  • Diagnose the root causes behind plateaued or disengaged partnerships, such as champion turnover, shifting priorities, or feature under-adoption, and build a tailored re-engagement plan for each.
  • Identify patterns across the portfolio and translate them into repeatable playbooks, scaling reactivation efforts rather than solving each account from scratch.

Growth & Expansion
  • Identify and pursue cross-sell, upsell, and expansion opportunities within long-established partnerships, building the case for growth using partner performance and usage data.
  • Lead conversations that re-energize dormant accounts, introducing new features, use cases, or account structures that unlock renewed value.
  • Exercise judgment on when to push for expansion and when a partner needs support to prioritize long-term relationship health over short-term wins.
  • Identify and lead growth opportunities that contribute to revenue goals.

Retention & Partner Education
  • Serve as a trusted advisor to established partners, maintaining strong relationships built on responsiveness, consistency, and follow-through.
  • Deliver ongoing education on new features, best practices, and platform updates to keep partners engaged and reduce the risk of stagnation or churn.
  • Monitor partner health and satisfaction on an ongoing basis, proactively addressing concerns or needs.
  • Pursue and lead regular check-ins with partner stakeholders to reinforce value and surface new opportunities.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Work closely with leadership and cross-functionally across departments to align on partner strategy and priorities across the portfolio.
  • Partner with the net-new-focused Partner Success Manager to ensure smooth, eventual hand-offs of maturing accounts into this portfolio.

Qualifications
  • Experience in partnership management, account management, or B2B sales, ideally within SaaS or a channel-based model
  • Proven ability to manage a large portfolio of accounts (30+) with a structured approach to prioritization
  • Strong track record of reviving stalled or disengaged relationships, not just growing healthy ones
  • Comfortable running product demos and communicating technical concepts without over-engineering conversations
  • Demonstrated ability to drive measurable business outcomes
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including experience presenting to senior leadership
  • CRM proficiency and strong organizational habits for documentation and reporting
  • Experience in the ATS, HR tech, or related SaaS ecosystem is a plus

Compensation & Benefits
  • 401(k) plan with regular and Roth options available
  • $100/month telecom reimbursement
  • Up to $50/month fitness reimbursement
  • Comprehensive healthcare benefits
  • Opportunity for professional development
  • Open PTO policy
  • Participation in employee stock option plan
  • 9 annual paid holidays for full-time employees
  • Fully remote environment
  • Company equipment provided
  • $85k - $100k OTE
    • Base salary: $85k
    • Commission: $15k targeted comp
