Head of Partnerships

US, Canada, or the UK - Remote

We are able to hire for this role in the following countries: US, Canada, or the UK

About the Role

If you thrive on building something from the ground up and love creating meaningful, high-impact partnerships, this role is for you. At Workera, we’re redefining how the world measures and grows skills through AI-powered insights. As our Director of Partnerships, you’ll oversee the development and execution of our partnership channel system, managing relationships with integrated partners, resellers, and other strategic collaborators. You’ll report directly to the Chief Sales Officer, serving as a key architect in shaping our global partner strategy.

You’ll lead the creation of strategic, integrated partnerships with large, enterprise clients—helping organizations around the world unlock their talent potential through Workera’s Skills Intelligence Platform. This role is ideal for someone who’s both strategic and hands-on—a builder who’s comfortable experimenting, iterating, and influencing without layers of hierarchy.

About You

You’re someone who thrives in ambiguity and finds energy in creating clarity. You love the challenge of shaping new markets and designing partnerships that don’t yet exist. You’re motivated by impact over status, and you bring a scrappy, entrepreneurial spirit to everything you do.

You’ll succeed here if you:

  • Excel at building trust and driving momentum in 1:1 partnerships

  • Have an opinionated view of how modern partner ecosystems should work—especially around deal recognition, enablement, and partner portals

  • Are excited by AI and believe in its potential to transform work

  • Value collaboration and accountability in a global, async-first environment

What You’ll Do

In your first 2 months, you’ll:

  • Learn our existing partnership ecosystem inside and out—what’s working, what’s not, and where we can grow
  • Build strong relationships with key partners and internal stakeholders
  • Craft a partner engagement and enablement strategy—from onboarding to joint success
  • Define clear KPIs to measure partnership performance

By 4 months, you’ll:

  • Demonstrate measurable partnership-driven impact
  • Refine the onboarding experience for new partners
  • Launch joint go-to-market initiatives with integrated and reseller partners
  • Collaborate with Sales, Marketing, and Product to align partnership goals with company objectives

By 6 months and beyond, you’ll:

  • Drive strong results across all partnership goals.
  • Grow the program by securing new, high-impact partners.
  • Improve how we manage partnerships using data and feedback.
  • Act as the main link between partners and internal teams to keep everyone aligned and successful.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

  • Revenue growth from partnership channels.
  • Number of new partnerships established.
  • Partner satisfaction and retention rates.
  • Success of joint marketing and sales initiatives.
  • Efficiency of the partner onboarding process.

Please note as we are a dynamic and quickly growing scale up, things are always subject to change

What You’ll Bring

  • Deep experience in partnership management within SaaS at a start up or scale up
  • Proven success creating reseller and integrated partnerships that drive business outcomes
  • A hands-on, experimental mindset—you’re not coming from a huge partnership machine, you’re used to rolling up your sleeves
  • Experience working across geographies + experience with Japanese and European markets
  • Comfort using CRM and partner management tools (Salesforce preferred)
  • Strategic vision combined with a bias for execution and continuous improvement

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.
