Director of Partnerships - Brazil

About the Role

The Global Partnerships team is seeking a seasoned professional to drive the strategy for our partner ecosystem in Brazil. As the Director, Partnerships, you will be a critical leader responsible for transforming how we engage, enable, and scale our regional partners, including Value-Added Resellers (VARs), Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs), and Referral Partners. This is a builder’s role. You will be an integral part of an emerging LATAM team at Fastly, working alongside colleagues in Brazil to build our next emerging market through strategic, value-driven partner alliances.

Your core mission will be to establish our platform as the foundational engine for partner growth in the region, enabling our partners to launch, sell, and support next-generation, margin-rich services built entirely on our modern platform. This role is about developing a high-impact, channel-first motion that drives recurring revenue, competitive differentiation, and long-term customer success for the partner. You will own the executive relationship, strategic vision, and overall business outcome for our key partners in Brazil.
