Jobbeschreibung

Who we are:

We're a scale-up growing at supersonic speed, driven by one ambitious goal: making technology accessible to everyone, no exceptions. As Europe's leading company in digital accessibility, we’re looking for a motivated, charismatic Partnership Manager to develop, nurture and grow commercial relationships with our partners across the DACH region.

The role involves identifying new partnership opportunities (software houses, marketing & web agencies, consulting firms, etc.), negotiating commercial terms and managing existing relationships. You'll work closely with several departments to ensure every partnership is managed as effectively as possible.

We're looking for an ambitious person with a natural commercial instinct, strong relationship and management skills, initiative and drive — someone who thrives in a fast-moving environment and loves to think outside the box.

• Take a proactive, self-driven approach to opening new doors: you're energised by finding and winning new partners, not only by nurturing the ones we already have.
• Build a systematic, process-oriented approach to sourcing partners and managing relationships.
• Identify partnership opportunities by following up on inbound leads and, just as importantly, by generating your own through targeted outbound outreach (cold calls and emails) — pinpointing key players and sparking their interest.
• Collaborate with leadership and cross-functional teams to align internal goals with partner relationships.
• Negotiate and finalise agreements in line with company guidelines and contract policies.
• Provide partners with the training, information and recommendations they need to optimise referral activity.
• Deliver an outstanding experience to every partner. You'll represent our brand and be our partners' internal point of reference.
