In this role, you’ll wear many hats: from relationship management to product marketing to demand generation. On all fronts, you’ll be playing a key role in helping our business grow.
You’ll be charged with identifying the opportunities that make sense for Klaviyo; then planning, executing, measuring and optimizing these marketing programs. You’ll also be counted on to educate and support our platform partners: making sure our they know what we do; understand the value we deliver to their clients and end-users; talk about us in a way that’s consistent with our brand; and think of us whenever they’re advising their customers on how to drive more revenue.

Joint marketing programs with platform partners and strategic tech vendors.

Our co-marketing efforts include things like joint events, sales team trainings, content creation and co-promotion. You’ll be in charge of planning, executing, measuring and optimizing these activities.
Ongoing education for platform partners.
Our partners should know and understand what makes Klaviyo different. Repurpose - and occasionally create - educational materials and distribute them regularly so we can make sure they’re on top of new releases, key features, case studies, tutorials, and more. Plan in-person training sessions, webinars, or regional events - whatever you need to do to make sure they know (and love) Klaviyo.
Klaviyo’s App store listings.
Shopify, BigCommerce, Magento and other platform partners host app stores for products that work alongside their platforms. You’ll be in charge of updating and optimizing Klaviyo’s listings to ensure they’re accurate and on-brand and being found by prospective customers.
Maintain strong relationships.

Whether it’s new opportunities with existing partners, or brand new partnerships, you’ll be in charge of identifying, evaluating, negotiating and executing on new partnerships for Klaviyo.
