About the role
We're looking for a Channel Partner Manager with a startup mindset and a builder's instinct. You'll own the full lifecycle of partner relationships end to end — from acquisition through business outcomes — with no hand-offs and no waiting for someone else to figure it out. You'll identify and recruit high-potential partners, onboard them effectively, build joint business and channel plans, develop co-created solutions, and relentlessly measure and drive results. This isn't a maintain-the-program role. It's a build-the-program role — high-impact, high-visibility, and central to DevRev's go-to-market expansion across the United States.
Location: North East (NY, PA, NJ) or Chicago only.
Background and experience
-
Currently a solo marketer covering marketing, events, SDR, and pipeline follow-up — broad, high-autonomy scope.
-
Mentors junior field marketers and founders on event strategy.
-
Previously partnered with Christopher Martin on ~3 sponsored events via Startup Grind, so she comes with an existing tie into DevRev's network.
Business acumen
-
Demonstrated strong judgment: turned down a misaligned Dreamforce partnership because the partner was targeting enterprise rather than her ICP — prioritizes pipeline quality over volume.
-
Bias to action: when SDRs produced zero invites for an upcoming dinner, she personally stepped in and invited 12 guests.
-
Frequently mistaken for the CEO at events — executive-level presence and ownership.
Network
-
Self-described "super connector" in the Bay Area startup scene.
-
Strong relationships with Startup Grind and similar organizations, which approach her to recruit sponsors rather than the reverse.
Fit for the role
-
Comfortable with the dual scope of field marketing plus events and understands how the two connect.
-
Bay Area based — aligns with the West Tier-1 city requirement.
-
Strong communication and rapport; described her first call with Laura as a "tête-à-tête, not an interview."
Areas to validate in later rounds
-
Metrics rigor: how she attributes events/campaigns to sourced vs. influenced pipeline.
-
Handoff discipline: how she passes engagements into sales/SDR follow-up and retargeting so momentum compounds.
-
AI and tooling: where she uses AI to speed up research and personalization.
What you'll do
-
Drive partner acquisition — Identify, prospect, and recruit high-value channel partners (VARs, resellers, SIs, and technology alliances) aligned with DevRev's ICP and growth strategy.
-
Own partner onboarding end to end — Design and execute a structured onboarding experience that gets partners productive fast — including technical readiness, sales alignment, and go-to-market activation.
-
Build and drive business plans — Co-develop joint business plans and channel plans with each partner, setting clear revenue targets, pipeline commitments, and milestones.
-
Measure and drive business outcomes — Define partner KPIs, track pipeline contribution, revenue attainment, and deal velocity. Hold partners accountable and course-correct when results fall short.
-
Develop joint solutions — Work with partners and DevRev's product team to co-create integrated solutions, use cases, and offerings that differentiate in the market and accelerate customer adoption.
-
Enable continuously — Deliver ongoing training, certifications, and enablement programs that deepen partner expertise and independence.
-
Align with direct sales — Collaborate closely with DevRev's sales organization to coordinate on accounts, avoid channel conflict, and maximize co-sell impact.
-
Advocate internally — Be the voice of your partners inside DevRev, working with marketing, product, and customer success to ensure partner needs are met.
-
Represent DevRev externally — Attend partner events, QBRs, and industry conferences to strengthen relationships and build brand presence.
What we're looking for
-
4–7 years of experience in channel sales, partner management, or alliances — ideally in SaaS or enterprise software.
-
Startup mindset — you operate with urgency, resourcefulness, and zero entitlement. You don't wait for playbooks; you write them.
-
Builder at heart — you've created something from scratch before (a partner program, a territory, a team) and you're energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it.
-
End-to-end owner — you take full accountability from strategy through execution through outcomes. No "that's not my job" in your vocabulary.
-
Proven track record of acquiring partners and scaling those relationships into measurable revenue.
-
Experience building joint business plans and holding partners to outcome-based metrics.
-
Strong understanding of the SaaS go-to-market landscape and partner ecosystem dynamics.
-
Excellent communicator — comfortable presenting to C-level stakeholders at partner organizations.
-
Based in or willing to work from New York or Texas.
Nice to have
-
Experience co-developing joint solutions or integrations with channel partners.
-
Background in CRM, customer support, or DevOps tooling.
-
Existing relationships with SIs or resellers in the mid-market or enterprise space.
What we offer
-
Competitive base salary + commission structure.
-
Equity participation.
-
Full benefits package.
-
Opportunity to shape DevRev's partner program from the ground up.
This role can be based in NY, PA, NJ and Chicago only.
