• Partner Go-to-Market: Lead joint marketing and sales efforts with partners to bring Parloa's AI solutions to market with confidence.
• Partner Performance: Run regular check-ins and quarterly business reviews to track progress against goals and speed up partner-driven growth.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Work with sales, marketing, and product teams so partner priorities, messaging, and goals stay aligned.

• A proven track record of entering new markets and building partner programs from scratch.
• A deep, existing network of partners and enterprise decision-makers across Eastern Europe.

We're at the beginning of a new era in customer experience, one where AI doesn't just respond, but understands, reasons, and takes action. We're building agentic AI that enterprises trust with their most important customer moments: complex questions, high volumes, real stakes. When millions of people reach out to a brand, those interactions aren't just support tickets; they're defining experiences. We're here to raise the standard: making every conversation seamless, intelligent, and genuinely helpful. If you care about shaping how businesses and customers connect at scale and want your work to matter in real, everyday moments, this is where you do it. At Parloa, ownership isn't a buzzword; it means being accountable for outcomes, not just tasks. We operate in a category that's evolving fast, where the bar is high, and the problems are complex. We hire people who think in solutions, communicate with clarity, and follow through. People who are comfortable making decisions, taking responsibility, and raising the standard for themselves and those around them. Backed by leading global investors like General Catalyst, EQT Ventures, and Altimeter Capital, we're scaling with a clear ambition: to become the global category leader in enterprise-grade conversational AI. Parloa is committed to upholding the highest data protection standards for our clients' and employees' data.
