Partnerships Development Manager

Are you brilliant at building relationships, energised by growing partnerships, and excited to help businesses thrive with Microsoft Dynamics 365?

At Cloud9, we’re looking for a Partnerships Development Manager who’s proactive, people-focused, and ready to make a meaningful impact by growing and strengthening our partner community.

You'll be at the heart of our mission helping businesses transform through Dynamics 365, in a collaborative, fast-paced environment where big ideas, positivity, and creativity are celebrated

This is an exciting time to join us. We’ve already built a thriving network of over 250 trusted referring partners — and now we’re aiming even higher, with an ambitious plan to grow our network to 500 partners. You’ll be joining a team that’s invested in the long-term success of our partner community, where relationship-building is at the core of everything we do.

At Cloud9, we’re proud to be a values-led business. If you feel aligned to our values of lovability, positivity, impact, dependability, and curiosity, you’ll feel right at home with us.

What You’ll Be Doing

Grow our partner family – Take ownership of the full Partner process: from building genuine relationships and creating new opportunities, to pitching, negotiating, and successfully onboarding partners.

Strategic thinker and planner – Co-create and execute on joint marketing plans with partners to promote Cloud9 services to their client base

Proactively drive opportunities through to close – Engage new and existing prospects thoughtfully, build meaningful connections through outreach, and confidently lead opportunities from first conversation to signed agreement.

Keep us organised and connected – Keep our CRM and partner team sites up to date so everyone’s in the loop and handovers between teams are seamless.

Get out there and network – Attend industry and sector events to build relationships, spread the Cloud9 love, and help more people understand the power of Dynamics 365.

Team up with marketing – Collaborate with our internal marketing team to campaigns, generate inspiring content, and help develop our growing Partner-to-Partner (P2P) proposition.

Champion continuous improvement – Manage and refine the Partner Playbook so we’re always improving, sharing best practices, and bringing fresh ideas to the table.

Find new opportunities creatively – Blend methodical outreach with creative thinking to discover and develop new sources of partnership growth.

What Makes You a Great Fit

• You’re a positive, energetic relationship-builder who people remember for the right reasons.
• You’re proactive, commercially sharp, and confident engaging C-suite decision-makers.
• You have a passion for technology and you are keen to grow your expertise within the Microsoft ecosystem.
• You communicate clearly and empathetically, making complex things simple.
• You’re organised, creative, and able to manage multiple opportunities with ease.
• You’re goal-driven, competitive, and love a smart challenge.
• You think outside the box to uncover new opportunities and drive growth.
• You are methodical in your approach and always deliver on promises
• You want to grow in a company where values, culture, and collaboration matter just as much as results.

What We Bring to the Table

• Earning potential - £15,000 OTE, with uncapped commission
• Career growth – Learning opportunities, professional development, and hands-on experiences that stretch your skills. Plus, a whole dedicated learning day every month!
• Flexibility - freedom to work from home two days a week, so life and work stay in sync.
• A values-led culture – We live our values in everything we do — and we genuinely care about how we show up for our clients, our partners, and each other.
• Supportive, friendly team – We’ve built an environment where collaboration, kindness, and having fun matter.
• Awesome benefits – Unlimited unpaid annual leave & top-tier Vitality healthcare insurance.
• Brighton perks – Work from our vibrant Lanes-based office with regular socials, ping pong tournaments, and a dog-friendly vibe!

Why You’ll Love It Here

At Cloud9, you won’t just manage partnerships, you’ll build relationships that unlock potential and transform futures. You’ll be part of a vibrant, supportive team where your ideas matter, your growth is championed, and your work makes a genuine difference.

If you’re looking for a place where you can bring your whole self to work, make a real impact, and enjoy the journey every day, we’d love to meet you.
