2–6 years in partnerships or business development (preferably SaaS or GTM tech).
Experience launching or scaling a partner program from the ground up.
Strong relationship-builder with an instinct for aligning incentives and driving mutual success.
Excellent communicator with operational rigor. You can negotiate, enable, and analyze in equal measure.
(Bonus) Familiarity with public-sector or vertical SaaS markets.
