Technology Partnerships Manager - Americas

About the Role

The Airship Partnership team drives business relationships with leading technology vendors and agencies to jointly deliver high-impact customer engagement and expand Airship's presence across the MarTech ecosystem.

We are hiring a Technology Partnerships Manager for both our Americas and EMEA regions. You will be responsible for managing a portfolio of strategic ISVs (like Google Cloud, Twilio, Salesforce, and leading CDPs, Personalization, Analytics and other MarTech platforms) and driving revenue and market share by sourcing and influencing sales opportunities within your region.

This is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role. You will work in coordination with the VP of Global Partnerships and regional partnership leadership, who provide strategic direction and executive air cover, while you execute day-to-day partner development, activation, and co-sell motions. You will also be a key bridge between our partners and Airship's Sales, Product, and Marketing teams.

What You'll Do

• Build and execute a systematic co-sell motion: define playbooks, identify joint targets with priority tech partners. Foster collaboration with Airship AEs and enable partner sales teams to ensure Airship stays top-of-mind
• Drive Sourced & Influenced Revenue: Generate new pipeline through proactive outreach, joint solution positioning, and partner introductions. Accelerate existing deals by leveraging partner networks, providing critical deal help, intel, new contacts, and highlighting integration value
• Act as GTM connective tissue: Collaborate with Sales, Customer Success, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, and Product to align partner initiatives with Airship's GTM priorities
• Represent Airship: Attend partner events, technology conferences, and ecosystem forums, with a goal to generate and accelerate opportunities
• Track, report, and achieve partner-attributed pipeline and revenue goals, using market and partner intelligence tools (e.g., Crossbeam) to quantify impact and refine priorities
• Operationalize Tech Alliances: Lead the daily relationship, joint business planning, regular syncs, and QBRs with key tech partners (Salesforce, Google, Twilio, Movable Ink, etc.). Serve as the primary bridge between partner and Airship teams within your region
• Enable and Activate Tech Partners and Airship Teams: Train partner teams on Airship's value proposition and use cases. Develop and maintain joint assets (one-pagers, battle cards, integration briefs) to empower partners to independently refer opportunities. Ensure Airship teams are knowledgeable on all tech partners and serve as their primary interface
• Expand the Ecosystem: Identify and onboard new technology partners by assessing joint value proposition, customer overlap, technical fit, and strategic alignment with Airship's roadmap
• Drive Co-Marketing: Help Airship and partner Marketing teams develop joint content, co-branded campaigns, and event activations that amplify partner relationships
• Facilitate Product Collaboration: Work between Airship and partner Product teams to develop or enhance integrations and joint solutions that address customer and market needs. Encourage adoption by collaborating with Customer and Product Marketing teams

What We're Looking For

• 7–10 years of experience in technology partnerships, business development, or channel sales within the SaaS or MarTech industry
• Demonstrated track record of generating partner-sourced pipeline and/or influenced revenue in a quota-bearing or target-driven partnerships role
• Existing network of relationships with technology partners and platform vendors relevant to the MarTech ecosystem (CDPs, Marketing Clouds, cloud platforms, engagement and personalization ISVs)
• Strong commercial acumen and ability to connect partner activities to measurable pipeline and revenue impact
• Able to understand and articulate integration use cases, API-based workflows, and data flows in partner conversations without being an engineer
• Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Product, and Marketing in a SaaS environment
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders at all levels both internally and with partners
• Experience experimenting with AI tools in your personal or professional life - or an eagerness to learn!

We'd Be Delighted If You Also Have

• Deep understanding of customer engagement, mobile marketing, or digital marketing solutions
• Previous experience at a high-growth SaaS company in the $50M–$300M revenue range
• Familiarity with partner intelligence and CRM tools (e.g., Crossbeam, Salesforce)
