Head of Partner Marketing

Wispr Flow • San Francisco, CA

6h • $240,000 - $260,000

About The Position

Wispr is hiring a Head of Partner Marketing to turn high-priority partnerships into activated users who value the product experience. Wispr’s products include Flow, a voice interface for use across applications, and Notetaker, which builds context across conversations. Partnerships span OEMs, consumer electronics brands, software platforms, telcos, creators, and public figures, and are growing in depth from co-marketing to integrated product partnerships.

The role owns the work between a signed term sheet and user activation. The Head of Partner Marketing will define and run a partner activation playbook, shape partnership deliverables before deals close, and coordinate partner marketing, product, retail, and PR teams. The role reports to the CMO and works across Sales, Product Marketing, Engineering, Product, and Design. It begins as an individual-contributor role with project management and design support from the existing team; after the model is proven, the role may hire a partner marketing manager.

Requirements

• Personally persuaded a partner to make a significant change to onboarding, packaging, a keynote, or a roadmap, including for a smaller company.
• Can understand term sheets and deliverables schedules, has walked away from a deal, and understands how contract terms affect marketing possibilities.
• Can manage five or more partnerships simultaneously using deliverables tracking, standups, follow-ups, and escalation.
• Has completed at least one large-scale distribution partnership, such as preinstall, app store, carrier, OEM, platform marketplace, or talent, and can explain what converted using actual results.
• Can design and prioritize customer activation experiences across first-run, first success, and day 30, including setup-wizard steps, box inserts, retail demos, and creator plans.
• Defines partnership success using measures such as cost per activated user, cohort reporting, and tracked links, and can explain how results were evaluated.
• Is AI-native and has used agents to create launch plans, presentations, and deliverables trackers.
• Has strong creative judgment and can assess partner marketing assets, and can write clearly enough to approve partner copy.
• Can work across Sales, Product Marketing, Engineering, and partner organizations without direct authority.
• Can describe partnership decisions, supporting metrics, risks, and lessons learned.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in partner marketing, platform partnerships, or distribution at a consumer software company that grew through partners, or experience on the partner side at a hardware, platform, or carrier brand.
• Experience with hardware or OEM partnerships is not required; platform or carrier distribution experience is relevant.
• Experience managing a team is not required; strong individual contributors who have run cross-functional programs are encouraged.

Responsibilities

• Work with Sales and corporate development before deals close to shape promising conversations into committed partnerships with shared activation plans and defined deliverables.
• Create and run a partner activation playbook for every deal, prioritizing tactics such as onboarding, default placement, packaging, retail demos, keynotes, creators, email, offers, codes, device unlocks, and reporting.
• Lead partner-facing launches, including custom launch plans, assets, offers, landing pages, tracked links, copy approvals, and amplification plans.
• Develop messaging for each partner and customer-facing surface by understanding both brands and adapting existing materials as needed.
• Design customer-facing offers and partner commitments, such as free Pro months, codes, device-unlocked entitlements, activation bounties, uplifts, and co-marketing commitments.
• Own partnership measurement and profit-and-loss tracking, using partner and cohort reporting to assess activation, day-30 outcomes, paid conversion, and cost, and recommend whether to renew, scale, or end partnerships.
• Manage execution-side partner relationships through regular standups, deliverables tables, owners, dates, follow-ups, and escalations.
• Specify product and engineering work required from partners or internal teams, such as setup steps, entitlements, and attribution flags, and ensure the required implementation is delivered.
