What You Bring With You

• At least 3 years of experience in a partnership or other customer‑facing role, preferably at a midsized B2B SaaS company or similar technical product organization
• A solid business understanding and the ability to put yourself in our partner's shoes to identify joint goals and develop mutual business plans
• A preference for long‑term results over short‑term wins
• A natural organizational talent who can unite Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success teams to deliver exceptional results. Well‑organized and focused on outcomes
• Exceptional ability to engage with stakeholders, internal and external partners
• Passion for continuously improving and advancing the way of collaborating with partners and colleagues, backed by strong problem‑solving, communication, and analytical skills
• Enthusiasm for building a hospitality platform that can serve any hotel or housing facility on Earth—and beyond!
• Based in Munich or open to relocating, with the ability to work onsite 2–3 days per week

How You Make An Impact

• Take the foundation of existing implementation partners, turn anecdotal successes into scalable, repeatable processes resulting in a structured partner program supporting company goals
• Ensure that the goals of Apaleo and its partners are aligned and both sides benefit from the partnership
• Coordinate with stakeholders (leadership, sales, customer success, onboarding, app success, marketing, community, product) to understand priorities and align with partners accordingly
• Develop existing partnerships further and recruit new partners according to the needs and priorities identified
• Build and develop relationships with key partners, manage the partner lifecycle, and be bold enough to end partnerships that do not perform despite your best efforts
• Take learnings from the collaboration with internal and external stakeholders and apply them to the processes to continuously improve the partner program
