Are you a skilled and experienced software partner manager?
As head of partnerships at Cambridge Intelligence, you’ll build a partner network that drives business growth. This is an exciting opportunity to join an established and category-leading company in an expanding market.
What’s involved?
You’ll build our indirect market access through a set of strategically-aligned partners.
We mostly work directly with our customers but want to grow our network of strategic partners to expand our commercial reach. It’ll be your job to boost this area of our business, by identifying and managing productive relationships with regional and international partners, solution and integration partners, and technology partners.
Who’s the ideal candidate?
You’ll need extensive experience in partner management or senior business development, ideally in a company selling technical products to a technical audience.
You’ll have a talent for identifying and managing partnerships to drive market penetration and ultimately revenue growth. You should also be a natural negotiator, able to build rapport and influence stakeholders at all levels.
You might also have
- A strong understanding of software product development, APIs, and integration technologies.
- An additional language to English, to communicate effectively with our growing European customer base.
Who you’ll work with
You’ll work alongside our established marketing and sales team to proactively generate opportunities with net new businesses.
Opportunities to grow
Everyone here gets funded professional development time, with up to five days each year allocated to learning – whether that’s learning new skills and strategies, attending events and conferences related to your role, or anything else you’d like to improve.
Be yourself
We want to build a fair, respectful and welcoming company, where everyone feels at home. That means taking a long-term approach to equality, diversity and inclusion – not treating it as a tickbox exercise.
With the help of our EDI group, we’re working to make every aspect of the business – including recruitment – fair, respectful and inclusive.
