Role Overview  

As the Director of Partnerships, you will own and scale our partner program as a core revenue engine for the business. You will be responsible for the strategy, performance, and operating model of our partner ecosystem — deepening and broadening relationships with our most strategic partners, building the systems and playbooks that allow the program to scale, and personally driving revenue through the channel. 

This is a senior, builder-oriented seat. You will report to the CRO, sit on the revenue leadership team, and operate as a true revenue executive — owning the partner number, bringing diagnoses and points of view rather than questions, and building a program that compounds over time. You will lead a small team while personally owning our top-tier partner relationships. 

The ideal candidate is a high-agency operator with a track record of building partner programs from a less mature state to a scaled, revenue-generating motion. You think programmatically, live in the data, communicate proactively, and have strong opinions held loosely. You are comfortable working cross-functionally with sales, marketing, BDR, and customer success leaders as a peer. 

Key Responsibilities:  

• Own the partner program P&L — partner-sourced revenue, partner-influenced revenue, partner-attached deal size, and partner contribution to total pipeline 

• Define and execute the multi-year partner strategy, including tiering, segmentation, and prioritization across channel, technology, and strategic alliance partners 

• Deepen and broaden our most strategic partner relationships — serve as the executive face to top-tier partners, build joint business plans, and drive co-sell motion 

• Build scalable systems and playbooks for partner onboarding, enablement, co-marketing, lead routing, and QBR cadence — designed so the program scales without the Director on every call 

• Develop and roll out the partner vs. AE motion across the revenue org — clear, written ownership across partner-sourced, partner-influenced, and AE-sourced deals 

• Design and execute the partner marketing menu in collaboration with the Marketing team — tiered, with clear deliverables, capacity envelope, and measurable outcomes 

• Promote consistent collaboration and planning between partners, sales, audit services, marketing, and business development teams 

• Recruit, qualify, and onboard new strategic partners that expand our reach into target ICPs and frameworks (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, HITRUST) 

• Establish KPIs, dashboards, and performance accountability systems for the partner program; report on pipeline, performance, and progress against company goals with diagnosis and action plans, not just data 

• Hire, coach, and hold accountable a small team of partner managers; build the bench for the next phase of scale 

• Allocate time and capacity to the highest-leverage work; programmatize lower-leverage activities; act as a bottleneck on nothing 

• Meet and exceed quarterly and annual partner-sourced and influenced revenue targets 

• Demonstrate high agency in a dynamic environment — default to action, bring drafts and POVs to leadership, surface issues with proposed solutions, and own outcomes end-to-end 
• Work within a revenue team structure to drive customer acquisition, revenue generation, and long-term account growth in line with company vision and values 

Requirements

Qualifications:  

• Bachelor's Degree — business-related field preferred 

• 5+ years of experience successfully building and scaling channel or partner programs within GRC, cybersecurity, audit, or B2B SaaS 

• Proven track record of taking a partner program from a less mature state to a scaled, revenue-generating motion — with the receipts (sourced revenue growth, partner count, tier evolution, co-sell motion) 

• Experience as a player-coach — comfortable carrying top-tier partners personally while managing a small team 
• Demonstrated ability to operate as a revenue leader, not a partnerships staffer — owns the number, brings POVs to the CRO, communicates proactively
• High agency, builder mindset — defaults to action, doesn't wait to be asked, fixes what's broken or surfaces it with a proposed fix 

• Data-driven — lives in the numbers, brings diagnosis with the data, fluent in funnel math, attribution, and partner economics 

• Programmatic thinker — looks at every recurring task and asks how it can be systematized, documented, or removed; allergic to being a bottleneck 

• Strong negotiator with excellent analytical skills 

• Excellent oral and written communication skills; brings drafts to react to, not blank slates 

• Highly developed organizational and time management skills, with the ability to pull projects over the finish line 

• Demonstrated success managing complex business relationships, multi-party deals, and successful programs 

• Professional under cross-functional pressure — disagrees in private, executes in public; resolves friction with peers without requiring executive intervention 

• Highly developed leadership and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build solid relationships internally and externally 

• Familiarity with modern GTM tooling — HubSpot, Crossbeam/Reveal, Clay, partner portals, and adjacent revenue ops infrastructure 

• Deep understanding of, or ability to quickly ramp on, our service offerings (SOC 2, ISO 27001, CMMC, FedRAMP, PCI DSS, HITRUST) and the broader compliance ecosystem 

• Demonstrated consistency in values, principles, and work ethic 

• Interest and familiarity with technology, business operations, and strategy
