Senior Partner Programs Marketing Manager [Remote]

Mon, 09/21/2026 - 04:14

Client Advisory Services are changing how CPA firms, outsourced accounting providers, BPOs, and fractional CFO firms support their clients. These firms are building higher-value advisory practices that depend on stronger financial management technology, scalable processes, and better client insights.

Sage Intacct Advisory Practice sits directly in that shift. Sage Intacct is the only software solution endorsed by the AICPA, giving Sage a strong credibility point with the accounting profession and a clear opportunity to help advisory firms build, scale, and grow with Sage Intacct.

The Sage Intacct Advisory Practice supports this ecosystem by helping advisory firms understand, adopt, and grow with Sage Intacct as a platform for modern finance and accounting services. As Senior Partner Programs Manager, Sage Intacct Advisory Practice, you will build and manage the programs that help bring this strategy to life across North America.

This is primarily an internal-facing partner programs role. You will create and manage the program frameworks, onboarding experiences, communications, partner portal resources, MDF-related activity, vendor support, reporting, and operating processes that help Partner Marketing Managers and partner-facing teams activate the Sage Intacct Advisory community at scale.

While the role may support partner-facing activity through program rollout, communications, events, or feedback gathering, the core focus is not owning individual partner relationships. The focus is building the repeatable program engine that helps Sage engage CPA firms, BPOs, fractional CFO firms, and Client Advisory Services practices more consistently and effectively.

This is a hands-on programs role for someone who understands B2B SaaS partner ecosystems, indirect channels, marketing programs, program operations, and how partner engagement connects to pipeline, revenue, and long-term partner growth.

This role is a strong fit for someone who likes building structure around a high-potential partner ecosystem: turning ideas into programs, programs into measurable engagement, and engagement into stronger partner participation, pipeline, and revenue impact.
