Manage and define the annual partner budget, forecasting, and ROI reporting to ensure both channels are resourced to perform
Identify, source, and onboard new partners that align with PetDesk's growth strategy (vet groups, buying groups, industry associations)
Develop and deliver partner training and enablement programs so partners can confidently represent PetDesk's value proposition
Collaborate closely with internal teams (Sales, Product, Customer Success) to activate partnerships and deliver seamless customer experiences
Serve as the strategic advisor and point of escalation for partner success and alignment issues, and represent PetDesk at partner events, industry conferences, and joint initiatives to deepen relationships and build market presence
Track and analyze performance across partnerships — partner health and channel KPIs — using insights to continuously adjust strategy and optimize impact
Continuously assess market trends, competitor activity, and the industry event landscape to inform partnership strategy and uncover new value-creation opportunities
About you:
3+ years of experience in field marketing, partner management, strategic alliances, business development, or channel sales — preferably in SaaS or healthtech
Proven track record of building and scaling high-impact partnerships that drive revenue and customer growth
Experience owning a budget and reporting on ROI/performance for a marketing or growth channel
People management experience, or demonstrated readiness to manage and develop a direct report

Highly strategic thinker with operational chops — you can zoom out to see the big picture and zoom in to execute the details
Comfortable working cross-functionally and influencing without authority across sales, marketing, and product teams
Experience working with veterinary buying groups, GPOs, or industry associations is a strong plus
