The opportunity for you is to shape Drift’s Strategic Alliances from basecamp to a $100M business unit in one of the fastest growing SaaS companies of all time.

What you’ll be doing as an Head of Strategic Alliances on the Partner team at Drift:

• Responsible for Drift’s Strategic Alliance relationships. 
• Responsible for influenced & sourced pipeline, revenue, and go-to-market motions with an initial primary focus on Adobe and key Global Systems Integrators.

About you and what type of skills you'll need:

• You are a curious learning machine. You seek feedback openly and frequently.
• You have a bias for action and are not afraid of showing daily results.
• You read the Drift Leadership Principles and say “this is how I’ve always wanted to work.” These are not negotiable, you either live them or make a decision this is not the company for you. They are practiced and enforced daily.
• 5+ years experience managing high-profile alliance relationships with companies larger than the company of your employment.
• 5+ years of experience selling or managing alliance relationships in marketing technology and/or sales technology
• A demonstrated background in driving revenue and strategic plans through alliances and technology partnerships.

At Drift, team members:

• Have complete ownership and accountability over their role and functional area
• Have complete transparency into the rest of the company (and are expected to show their work and do the same)
• Have a sense of urgency. We are building a once in a lifetime company at Drift, so we move fast every single day
