Partner Manager

Seeking a Partner Manager to open and scale a new category of partners: creative agencies adopting AI-native creative production. This role combines deep relationship building with aggressive outbound execution and system-level thinking. You will identify, recruit, and activate creative agencies, help them become fluent in AI-driven creative workflows, and turn them into a repeatable revenue and distribution channel. This is a foundational role at a moment of category change. The goal is not partnerships for optics, but partners that drive real adoption, usage, and revenue.

What You’ll Do

• Identify and recruit high-potential creative agencies through proactive outbound
• Build deep working relationships with agency leaders and operators
• Help agencies adopt and become experts in AI creative production
• Design and execute partner motions that generate pipeline and revenue at scale
• Define partner positioning, enablement, incentives, and success metrics
• Launch agency pilots quickly, measure results, and iterate toward repeatability
• Work closely with Sales, Product, and Leadership to align GTM execution
• Own partner performance end-to-end: sourcing → activation → revenue

What They’re Looking For

• Proven ability to drive revenue through partnerships or indirect sales
• Strong commercial judgment and structured thinking
• Entrepreneurial mindset with high ownership and persistence
• Comfort operating without a predefined playbook
• Willingness to do the full scope of the work: outbound, enablement, follow-ups, and closing

Background (Helpful, Not Required)

• Experience in partnerships, BD, or revenue roles at startups
• Experience working with creative agencies, studios, or production partners
• Exposure to SaaS, eCommerce, martech, or AI-first products
• Ability to clearly explain and sell complex, technical products

Non-Negotiables

• NYC-based
• Onsite,...
