About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Define and own the business development strategy for product enablement. You will work closely with Product Marketing and Engineering to build a deep understanding of the product roadmap and identify where third-party partnerships can unlock, accelerate, or improve planned products.
You will build a proactive pipeline of partner opportunities rather than waiting for inbound requests, and contribute to the broader platform partnerships strategy over time.
Act as the primary business development liaison to the Product Marketing organization. You will develop trusted relationships with product leads and maintain ongoing visibility into the roadmap so that partnership needs are anticipated well in advance of product timelines.
Lead the end-to-end deal process for priority partnerships, from initial outreach and scoping through negotiation, term sheet, and contract execution. You will develop and refine commercial frameworks across a range of deal types, from data licensing and API agreements to broader technology and service partnerships, structuring deals that reduce cost and vendor dependency over time while protecting strategic flexibility.
Develop a clear point of view on build versus buy versus partner tradeoffs across the technology stack and bring well-reasoned recommendations to Product and Engineering leadership.
Work cross-functionally with Finance, Legal, Product, and Engineering to align on partner profiles, model costs and revenue opportunities, define success metrics, and develop contracting frameworks. You will represent partnership opportunities clearly and compellingly to senior internal stakeholders and build the consensus required to move quickly on priority deals.
Develop deep expertise in the data, technology, and service provider landscapes most relevant to the product roadmap, anticipating market shifts and emerging capabilities. You will also define the KPIs, reporting frameworks, and partner feedback loops needed to evaluate new partnerships and capture learnings that allow product partnerships to scale globally over time.
