About The Position

The Strategic Partnerships Manager role is pivotal to FieldPulse’s efforts to expand its partnerships ecosystem and reinforce its best-in-class position within field services. In this role, you’ll own a unique partnership channel for which you’ll source and acquire new Partner relationships. You’ll work closely with our team of Partner Success Managers (PSMs) to vet new partnership opportunities, modeling the impact to the business, and creating collaborative go-to-market (GTM) plans emphasizing mutual success. You’ll own the Partner relationship from first contact to signature, ensuring a smooth transition from negotiation through to activation.
