- Develop simple revenue/enablement toolkits for partner managers and affiliate teams.
Internal & External Collaboration

- Document partnership activity, revenue performance, and recommendations for future investments.
What You’ll Bring
- 5–8 years experience in SaaS ecosystem partnerships, integrations, or business development.

- Experience at a marketplace platform (Zapier, Shopify, Salesforce AppExchange, etc.) shall be an added advantage.
