ServiceTrade is a SaaS company transforming the field service management industry for commercial service contractors. Our platform helps contractors streamline operations, improve customer service, and drive revenue growth.
We are investing in a partner ecosystem to help generate new pipeline, expand influence in our market, and accelerate sales cycles.
The Senior Strategic Partnerships Director is a senior individual contributor who will lead the development and execution of ServiceTrade’s partnership and channel strategy. This is a high-impact, hands-on role focused on building scalable relationships with key industry influencers, associations, ERP vendors, consultants, and technology providers to generate pipeline and create co-marketing/co-selling motions that drive results.
This is not a traditional channel sales role. We’re looking for a strategic operator with a strong bias for action who can build the strategy and do the work to execute it. You’ll be a team of one initially, with high visibility and autonomy, reporting directly to the CRO.
Key Responsibilities: Identify and engage high-potential partners across:
Trade and industry associations for Mechanical and Fire Life Safety Commercial Contractors (e.g., MCAA/MSCA, AFSA, NFSA, FSSA, NAFED)
Collaborate with Marketing and Product Marketing to create and launch co-marketing and co-selling programs (joint webinars, events, content, campaigns) that generate qualified leads and brand awareness.
Secure executive-level relationships with associations and technology partners to establish ServiceTrade as the preferred solution in the commercial contracting space.
Build processes to ensure partner efforts are aligned with pipeline and revenue goals.
Collaborate closely with Sales, Marketing, Customer Experience (Customer Success & Implementation) and Product to identify partnership targets and ensure integrated GTM execution.
Track and report on partner-sourced pipeline, referrals, and marketing impact using Salesforce and other tools.
Build a scalable process for partner tiering, enablement, reporting, and ROI tracking.
Deliver a repeatable partner engagement playbook that enables growth and internal alignment.
Maintain market awareness of evolving industry trends and partner landscape shifts.
What You’ll Bring: 10+ years of experience in partnerships, business development, or strategic alliances in B2B SaaS or technology. Experience in PE-backed SaaS companies is a plus.
Proven track record in building and managing partner ecosystems that drive measurable business impact.
Experience engaging with ERPs, associations, consultants, and technology partners.
Comfortable being a team of one—high ownership mentality with a strong bias for action.
Ability to independently build programs and campaigns while thinking strategically about scale.
Ability to influence and collaborate across Marketing, Sales, Product, and Customer Experience.
Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with external and internal stakeholders.
Strong understanding of field service, commercial services, construction tech, or adjacent verticals is a plus.
