THE OPPORTUNITY

Certinia's partner ecosystem — systems integrators and strategic alliances with Salesforce and AWS — is one of our most important growth engines, already sourcing a meaningful share of company bookings. We're hiring a Partner Marketing Director to build and run the marketing function at the center of that ecosystem: the brand and content that represent our partner program, and the co-marketing engine that helps partners generate pipeline alongside us. This is a high-visibility, hands-on role for someone who can operate at both altitudes: setting the strategy for how Certinia shows up to partners, and personally writing the copy, building the deck, or launching the campaign that brings it to life. You'll work daily with Alliance Managers, Partner Account Managers, Enablement, Events, Product Marketing, Marketing Communications, and Growth Marketing with a direct line to partner and alliance leadership.
