Strategic Revenue Partnerships Lead

HeyGen•Los Angeles, CA

2d•$200,000 - $400,000

About The Position

HeyGen is looking for a Strategic Revenue Partnerships Manager to build and scale our revenue partnership motion. This is a quota-carrying, deal-closing role. It is not a traditional alliances role focused only on partner relationships, logos, or co-marketing activity. You will be responsible for sourcing, structuring, negotiating, and closing revenue-generating partnerships with technology platforms, agencies, system integrators, and enterprise ecosystem partners. The goal is to create partnerships that directly produce pipeline, revenue, distribution, and enterprise adoption for HeyGen. You will operate like a strategic AE with a partnership lens: identifying high-value opportunities, building the business case, aligning internal teams, negotiating commercial terms, and getting deals signed. Partnerships will be a key growth lever for HeyGen as we expand into enterprise customers, platform integrations, and partner-led distribution. The right person will not just manage partnerships — they will close deals, create revenue, and define how HeyGen scales through the broader ecosystem. This role offers the opportunity to win a category and build an ecosystem in the most dynamic part of the industry (AI video) and to architect deals with the most influential companies in software.

Requirements

5+ years of experience
Experience in strategic partnerships, business development, channel sales, enterprise sales, or platform partnerships within SaaS, cloud, AI, or marketing technology.
Proven closing ability
You have independently sourced, negotiated, and closed complex commercial deals. You are comfortable owning the full deal cycle from first conversation to signed agreement.
Revenue ownership mindset
You are motivated by pipeline, bookings, and revenue impact. You do not measure success by meetings, partner announcements, or relationship activity alone.
Strong commercial judgment
You know how to evaluate whether a partnership can become real revenue. You can separate nice-to-have ecosystem relationships from high-impact commercial opportunities.
Executive communication skills
You can build trust with senior partner stakeholders, lead commercial conversations, and represent HeyGen clearly and credibly in strategic discussions.
Cross-functional leadership
You can work effectively with Sales, Product, Engineering, Marketing, Legal, Finance, and executive teams to move complex deals forward.
Builder mentality
You are autonomous, resourceful, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. You can build a new function from the ground up while still closing near-term revenue.
