Because when challenge meets purpose, and passion turns into progress, that’s magic at work, and it’s what we show up for everyday.

Smartsheet is seeking a Principal Partner Marketing Manager to lead and scale co-marketing programs across our ecosystem of strategic technology and channel partners. This role influences and executes partner marketing strategy, program design, and budget. You will own the end-to-end marketing relationship with a portfolio of high-priority partners — designing and executing programs that accelerate pipeline at every stage of the buyer journey. You will operate as a trusted advisor and key connector between Field Marketing, Partner Sales, Demand Gen, and Product Marketing

This role reports to the Director, Partner Marketing and can be based in our Bellevue, WA office or remotely from anywhere in the US where Smartsheet is a registered employer.

You Will:

  • Partner Marketing Strategy & Program Design
  • Own the co-marketing strategy and execution roadmap for a portfolio of strategic technology and channel partners, ensuring alignment to Smartsheet's FY27 Field Marketing transformation priorities and demand generation framework.
  • Design and govern integrated partner marketing programs across multiple channels including events, digital, content syndication, demand generation with clear pipeline and ROI objectives.
  • Establish scalable operating models, playbooks, and execution frameworks for partner marketing that can be adopted across the function.
  • Develop and manage the partner marketing events strategy, including third-party event sponsorships, partner-led field events, and co-branded virtual programs.
  • Pipeline Accountability & Performance Management
  • Own partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline targets across assigned partner portfolio; build reporting cadences and dashboards to track performance.
  • Apply independent judgment to evaluate and optimize program mix; make data-driven investment decisions and present recommendations to senior leadership.
  • Develop and execute company policies and operational objectives for partner marketing that may have function-wide effect.
  • Drive alignment between partner marketing activity and broader demand generation programs, ensuring integrated coverage through the buyer journey.
  • Stakeholder Management & Influence
  • Operate as the primary partner marketing manager for AMS to marketing leaders; navigate complex negotiations and preserve strategic partnerships while driving Smartsheet's agenda.
  • Interact regularly with marketing management on matters spanning multiple functional areas; apply persuasion and subject matter expertise to align stakeholders on departmental outcomes.
  • Collaborate closely with regional Field Marketing leaders, Demand Generation, PMM, and Partner Sales to develop joint go-to-market plans and integrated campaign strategies.

  • Demonstrated ability to design and lead complex, multi-channel co-marketing programs that deliver measurable pipeline impact at scale.
  • Deep knowledge of the technology partner ecosystem — hands-on experience marketing with or through hyperscalers (Google, Microsoft, AWS) and/or AI/data platform partners strongly preferred.
  • Strong strategic thinking and conceptual problem-solving skills; comfortable navigating ambiguous situations and developing solutions where there is no established playbook.
  • Proven ability to persuade, influence, and build alignment across diverse stakeholders — including senior partner executives and internal leadership.
  • Budget ownership experience with accountability for ROI; strong analytical skills and ability to connect program activity to revenue outcomes.
  • Deep familiarity with demand generation, ABM, and field marketing principles; experience operating in close partnership with sales.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
