Director, Partnerships (Supply, DiscoBeat)

The Role

You'll open doors with the next wave of commerce platforms (post-purchase, shipping, returns, loyalty, reviews, 3PLs and marketing tools) and turn the partners already live into our biggest revenue lines. You run the partner journey from the CEO conversation through pilot, a fast pilot exit and a hands-on expansion month, then hand off to Growth and Customer Success to scale. This is a biz dev and strategic partnerships role, not a pure sales seat.

What you'll do

• Land new platforms at the CEO level and set up pilots to win.
• Inherit live partners and grow them through new page types, deeper merchant penetration and better yield.
• Map and build relationships across each partner's finance, CS, sales, analyst and executive teams.
• Build forecasts from page volume, page types and order data that a partner's CFO and board will sign off on.
• Shape partner incentive plans and packaging, and own the build vs. buy vs. partner answer.
• Create pitch decks, talk tracks, forecasts and QBRs for C-suite, partnerships, sales and CS audiences.
• Present the best integration path for each partner and bring in Disco engineering. Engineering owns the build.
• Hand scaling partners to CSMs and keep the executive relationship.

What you bring

• Channel or strategic partnerships experience at commerce SaaS, payments or fintech.
• Deep understanding of how commerce software makes money and how partner sales teams get paid.
• Credibility with CEOs, CFOs and partner sales teams.
• Comfort building a forecast yourself.
• Energy for ambiguity. Part of the playbook exists; you'll write the rest.
• Curiosity beyond your lane.

Your first 90 days

• 30 days: Learn our positioning, values, partner map and playbook. Go deep on the pilot phase and how to exit it fast.
• 60 days: Move one prioritized larger partner beyond pilot, with new merchants going live.
• 90 days: Run several new doors at once. Execute a contract with a new platform and set its pilot up to win.
