Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've scaled B2B SaaS partnerships or account expansion (Salesforce, HubSpot, Shopify, Stripe ecosystem partner model, etc.) and obsess over partner health metrics and unit economics.
  • You thrive building systems from scratch—scorecards, QBRs, playbooks—that scale across teams and create accountability without micromanagement.
  • You're comfortable owning P&L impact: NDR, expansion pipeline, CAC/LTV fluency, and can translate partner success into revenue narratives.
  • You lead with data, not anecdotes—you'll design health scores, dashboards, and KPIs that drive decisions across Ops, Finance, Marketing, and Sales.
  • You see partner management as a growth lever, not a service function; you hunt for expansion and build relationships that generate unsolicited referrals.
Won't Work If
  • You're an order-taker who wants to support partners reactively—this is about proactive, systematic growth and partner transformation.
  • You don't have hands-on experience building repeatable programs (playbooks, onboarding, QBR frameworks) or managing scorecards and dashboards.
  • You lack appetite for cross-functional influence—you'll need to align Ops, Finance, Marketing, Sales, and Technical Services without formal authority.
  • You're looking for a "Head of Account Management" role managing day-to-day client hand-holding; this is strategy + team leadership + expansion.
