About The Position

The HubSpot Partner Strategy and Operations team is looking for a Senior Manager to lead our Partner Strategy and Programs function. Partner Strategy & Operations is part of the Operations organization, responsible for designing and executing long-term partner strategy and facilitating daily operations for the Solutions Partner Program. Partners are critical to HubSpot's growth, helping millions of customers grow better. We are seeking a results-driven leader with a strong track record in SaaS GTM strategy and program execution. As HubSpot shapes how businesses achieve new customer outcomes through agents, workflows, and automation, our partner ecosystem is central to delivering on that promise. This role is pivotal in building the programming, incentives, and frameworks that position partners to drive those outcomes — elevating their capabilities and ensuring they are equipped to grow alongside HubSpot in an AI-first world.

Requirements

7+ years of professional experience in the software (SaaS) industry with a strong background in GTM strategy, program management, or revenue operations.
2+ years of experience leading or managing Senior or Principal-level ICs, with a proven track record of coaching high performers, growing teams, and elevating output - not just overseeing it.
True player/coach mentality: comfortable setting strategic direction while staying close to the work and contributing directly on the highest-priority initiatives.
Strong analytical mindset with experience using data and KPIs to make informed decisions and measure program impact; comfortable partnering closely with data and analytics teams.
Technically fluent: able to write clear, concise business requirements and translate complex program needs into specifications that Product, FinOps, FinTech, and systems teams can act on, and can coach your team to do the same.
Leading in the agentic era; you have a clear point of view on how AI tools can transform the way strategy and operations teams work, and you actively use and advocate for them to accelerate your team's impact.
Ability to communicate complex concepts simply and clearly to an executive audience.
Deep care for customer-centricity and HubSpot's mission of helping millions of organizations grow better.

Nice To Haves

Experience in channel/partner strategy is a plus (the right operator with strong GTM fundamentals can learn the partner ecosystem.)
