About the Role
We’re hiring a European Partner Manager to build out our channel sales capability across the UK and Europe. This is a hands-on, revenue-owning role focused on recruiting and scaling a partner ecosystem — referral partners, resellers, and implementation partners — who bring enterprise clients to our AI-powered knowledge management and CX platform, resell it, and/or implement it for their customers.
You’ll own the full partner lifecycle: identifying and recruiting the right partners, enabling them, building joint business plans, and driving those relationships through pipeline to closed revenue.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You’ll Do
- Recruit and onboard partners across three motions: referral (partners who introduce enterprise opportunities), reseller (partners who transact our platform), and implementation (SIs/consultancies who deploy and integrate our solutions)
- Build joint business plans with each partner — mutual goals, target accounts, enablement milestones, and revenue targets
- Enable partners on our platform, positioning, and competitive differentiation
- Drive pipeline generation with partners into enterprise accounts, and manage joint go-to-market motions (co-selling, marketing, events)
- Own channel-sourced revenue as a core KPI — sourced pipeline, influenced pipeline, and closed-won revenue through partners
- Manage the partner lifecycle end-to-end: sourcing, contracting, onboarding, enablement, activation, and ongoing relationship management
- Act as the internal champion for partners — coordinating with sales, marketing, product, and professional services
What You’ll Bring
- 10+ years in a sales-focused channel/partner management role, including at least 5 years building and running channel partnerships
- Proven track record recruiting and enabling partners who refer, resell, and/or implement enterprise software solutions
- Direct experience in CX, contact center, knowledge management, or AI
- Experience at a SaaS or AI company; exposure to software infrastructure/platform companies (e.g., Workday, MuleSoft, Databricks, Snowflake) or CX-adjacent companies (e.g., Kore.ai, Decagon) is a strong plus
- Demonstrated ability to build and execute joint business plans that translate into measurable pipeline and revenue
- Strong commercial instincts — comfortable negotiating partner agreements, deal structures, and incentive models
- Excellent relationship-building skills, both externally with partners and internally across sales, marketing, and delivery
- Based in the UK, with willingness to travel across Europe as needed
