We're growing fast, and the partner channel is a core part of how we scale. We're looking for someone to own it.

The roleYou'll build Spacelift's reseller partner program from the ground up, starting with two high-priority partners: Ahead and Presidio. This isn't a "manage the existing program" job. You'll define how we work with resellers, what good looks like, and how we grow through them.

• Work closely with Spacelift's direct sales team to align on pipeline, territory, and rules of engagement
• Build the reporting and tracking infrastructure to measure partner-sourced pipeline, revenue, and engagement

What we're looking for

• 3 or more years in partner management, channel sales, or alliances at a B2B software company
