Partner Marketing Manager

Partner Marketing Manager

Yardstik is a partner-first business. A large share of our growth comes through the platforms our customers already use every day.

You'd own the marketing side of that: campaigns and content built with partners, events we host and attend, and enablement for partner sellers and our own team.

Yardstik is growing fast because we built the Human Trust Platform for a market facing real, growing risks. Thousands of companies use it to know who they're hiring and to keep trusting them long after day one. Behind those companies are millions of workers trying to get hired, get paid, and stay safe on the job. When this works, good candidates move faster and the ones who shouldn't be there don't get through.

Plenty of fast-growing companies work on things nobody will remember. Plenty of meaningful companies move too slowly to feel like anything is happening. But Yardstik is growing fast and the work has a meaningful impact for real people. That's why we work hard every day. And you can be part of it.

We've been a Best Place to Work 6 years running, and first in our category the last 2. This year we added Top Workplaces and the Inc. 5000 to the list. We look for people who are hungry, humble, and smart, and who would rather build something this month than plan something for next year.

If you want to do the best work of your career next to people who will match your effort, this is a good place to do it

We have strong integrations and partners who want to do more with us. This role turns that into consistent programs and real pipeline.

What you'll do:

• Co-marketing with strategic partners through joint content, campaigns, webinars, announcements
• Communicating with partners' internal teams so they know what we do, when to bring us in, and develop a strong affinity toward Yardstik
• Planning, hosting, attending, sponsoring, and following up on various conferences and partner-related events
• Building, measuring, and reporting on the success of our partner engagement programs
• Building and maintaining marketplace listings, demos, customer-facing materials, and co-branded assets
• Internal enablement on our partnerships and integrations

What success looks like: new opportunities created through partners and shorter cycles on the deals they're part of.

You have 2+ years of partner, channel, or alliance marketing at a B2B software company

You write well, you can build a partner campaign, and you know what good content looks like

You like being the person who makes things happen across two companies at once
