About The Position

Axelera AI is hiring a Partner Marketing Manager to own marketing with its largest global customers and customer-partners, including OEMs, system builders, and integrators. The role focuses on building and executing joint marketing plans that align Axelera’s strategic goals with partner priorities and create mutual commercial value. The work includes co-branded campaigns and content, demand generation, launch support, event presence, and measuring results such as pipeline influence and repeatable programs. The manager will collaborate closely with Sales, Product, partner marketing teams, and partner executives. This is a highly autonomous role for someone who already knows how to build and run partner marketing programs and can prioritize opportunities using a commercial lens. AI tools are used regularly for research, drafting, and analysis, while the role also relies on building trusted relationships with partner stakeholders. The position is remote in the United States, with expected travel of approximately 15–20% across the Americas and Europe, including periodic visits to Axelera’s Eindhoven headquarters. In the first year, success means establishing joint plans with named accounts, creating a repeatable co-marketing motion, demonstrating partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, and securing partner presence at relevant industry events.
