director, ecosystem (partnership sales & management) jobs



At Manifold, we are building a marketplace of cloud-based developer tools and infrastructure services. We are looking for a strong sales/business development/account management professional to help us add more services to the marketplace, grow partnership revenue and help our partners succeed.

We currently have 40+ provider services in our marketplace but we're just getting started. We believe there are thousands of potential partners out there including "tier one" services like Stripe, Twilio, MongoDB, and Fastly all the way down to nascent one-developer services. Your job is to pioneer successful tactics to pursue, secure and manage these partners.

Although we have been doing this for a while, this is a new, dedicated role and a greenfield opportunity: you will define, create, manage and execute the Partnership Management function.

Your compensation will include both a base salary and variable, target-based component.
