Job description

Partnership Strategy & Prioritization

  • Maintain a prioritized view of the identity and security technology landscape (IAM/IGA, PAM, SIEM/SOAR, CSPM/CNAPP, ITSM, DevOps/CI-CD, cloud service providers) and identify which vendors represent the highest-value alliance opportunities for Britive.
  • Score and rank prospective partners against clear commercial criteria - overlapping customer base, co-sell motion, deal size influence, and pipeline/revenue potential - rather than technical novelty alone.
  • Say no to partnerships that lack a credible path to revenue, even when they are technically compelling, and be able to articulate why.

Deal Development & Business Casing

  • For each prioritized partner, define and document the value proposition: what joint problem is solved, why customers would buy the combined solution, and how the partnership differentiates Britive competitively.
  • Author the business requirements for how the two platforms should integrate - use cases, API/data touchpoints, deployment model, and shared customer workflows - in partnership with product and engineering.
  • Define the monetization model for each partnership (co-sell, referral, OEM/embed, marketplace, technology royalty, etc.) and the commercial terms needed to make it work for both parties.
  • Negotiate and close partnership agreements, working with legal and finance as needed.

Go-To-Market Execution

  • Translate signed partnerships into active go-to-market programs: joint solution briefs, co-sell playbooks, enablement for sales and SEs, and marketing campaigns.
  • Partner with sales leadership to build pipeline generation motions with alliance partners and track sourced/influenced revenue.
  • Represent Britive at partner and industry events, and build/maintain executive relationships with key alliance contacts.

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • Act as the primary interface between Britive and partner alliance, product, and BD teams.
  • Brief product and engineering leadership on partner-driven integration requirements and advocate for roadmap investment where it unlocks revenue.
  • Report regularly to sales and executive leadership on alliance pipeline, partnership health, and revenue impact.

What Success Looks Like

  • A short list of active, well-documented technology partnerships - each with a clear value proposition, integration requirements, and monetization model - rather than a long list of loosely-defined technical integrations.
  • Measurable partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline and revenue within the first 6-12 months.
  • Strong working relationships with key alliance and BD leaders across the identity and security ecosystem.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in technology alliances, business development, or partnerships, with at least 3 years focused on identity, security, or adjacent enterprise infrastructure categories.
  • Deep working knowledge of the identity and security technology landscape - IAM, PAM, IGA, SIEM/SOAR, CNAPP/CSPM, and how these categories intersect with cloud infrastructure and DevOps.
  • An existing, active network of contacts among alliance, product, and BD leaders at relevant technology vendors.
  • Demonstrated ability to evaluate partnerships commercially - building business cases, prioritizing against revenue potential, and saying no to low-value opportunities.
  • Experience defining integration requirements and working directly with product/engineering teams to scope joint solutions.
  • Experience in a solution design / architecture role listening to and translating client requirements into proposed designs including those with integrations to other products.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; comfortable presenting to executives internally and externally.
  • Willingness to travel for partner and industry events (estimated 20-30%)., * Prior experience at a cybersecurity or identity-focused SaaS company, ideally in a high-growth or startup environment.
  • Experience building tech alliances from the ground up.
  • Familiarity with cloud-native and Zero Standing Privileges / just-in-time access concepts.
  • Existing relationships with hyperscalers (AWS, Azure, GCP) marketplace and partner teams.

Benefits & conditions

The estimated base salary for this role is $140,000 - $180,000 annually. This position is also eligible for variable compensation tied to the performance of technology partnerships. Individual compensation packages are based on various factors unique to each candidate, including experience, expertise, location, and other factors.

Perks + Benefits:

  • Work from anywhere in the US! We are fully remote (US only, other areas are subject to review).
  • Competitive compensation and meaningful equity
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance
  • Paid parental leave benefits
  • 401k (U.S.)
  • Flexible + Unlimited PTO (U.S.)
  • Career development opportunities and paths
