About the role

  • You will own our channel and marketplace partnership strategy, developing and executing multi-year joint go-to-market plans that directly drive sourced pipeline, co-sell momentum, and closed revenue.
  • You will build and maintain executive-level relationships with priority partners, aligning Help Scout’s revenue goals with partner initiatives and ensuring strong quarterly business outcomes.
  • You will collaborate closely with Sales to lead account mapping, pipeline reviews, and opportunity execution, enabling partner sellers to confidently position and close Help Scout opportunities.
  • You will develop joint marketing and marketplace initiatives — including events, campaigns, and listing optimizations — that generate measurable TCV and pipeline impact.
  • You will track, analyze, and report on sourced, influenced, and co-sell revenue metrics, ensuring our alliance investments deliver clear and repeatable ROI.

Requirements

  • You bring 5–10+ years of experience in partnerships, alliances, or strategic sales roles with direct accountability for driving revenue through channel or marketplace ecosystems.
  • You have hands-on experience working within or alongside partners such as AWS (APN, Marketplace, co-sell), TD SYNNEX, Carahsoft, or similar hyperscaler and distribution models.
  • You have a proven track record of turning partnership strategy into measurable pipeline and closed revenue, not just relationship management.
  • You are comfortable engaging senior stakeholders, navigating matrixed organizations, and aligning cross-functional teams to execute joint GTM plans.
  • You are data-driven, commercially minded, and fluent in SaaS sales cycles, cloud economics, and modern go-to-market motions, with curiosity about how AI is shaping partner ecosystems.
  • You are highly proficient with AI-powered tools and incorporate them into your daily workflow to increase productivity, improve decision-making, and drive measurable outcomes.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary and an internal, transparent salary formula based on market data
  • Flexible time off – you choose the holidays and vacations that make sense for you
  • 12 weeks of fully paid parental leave for all new parents, including adoption and foster care
  • A home office stipend to help you get set up and productive
