Partner Manager

Schedule: full-time Employment: permanent Years of experience: 2-5 Salary: 85000 to 120000 EUR per year Mission Demodesk lives inside an ecosystem: CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive), dialers (Aircall, CloudCall, RingCentral), consultancies and agencies that implement sales tech for mid-market companies across Europe. Every one of those relationships is a channel, and right now they are underbuilt. You will own partnerships end to end: sourcing, closing, activating, and scaling. That means CRM ecosystem partnerships that drive co-selling and marketplace presence, referral and reseller relationships with sales consultancies and RevOps agencies in the DACH region and beyond, and technology partnerships that expand what our AI agents can connect to. This is a build role, not a manage role. You will define the partner motion, prove it works, and lay the foundation for the partnerships function as we scale.
