You scope, prototype, and review the technical side of partner solutions and you also manage the partner relationship itself, the business conversations and day-to-day project management. You report to the VP, Technical Partnerships.Most integrations ship through the partners own engineering team or Sanity R&D-your job is to make sure what gets built is the right thing, built the right way, and that the partnership itself stays healthy and productive.What you would do:Partner Relationship & Strategic AdvisoryOwn the relationship with a portfolio of partners: the project plan, the roadmap, the business conversation, and the technical scoping, as one continuous threadLead conversations with partner business and product leaders, moving fluidly between strategic and technical framingAssess technical feasibility and effort on the spot well enough to keep a strategic conversation moving, then follow up with real scopingShape partner pitches and joint roadmaps with grounded technical input, so commitments made in the room are ones R&D or the partner can actually deliverTechnical Scoping & PrototypingIdentify and document the technical opportunity for a partner integration or MCP-based solution: architecture, API surface, data flows, and integration pointsBuild prototypes and proofs of concept where they de-risk a build or clarify a design decision. You don’t need to create production-bound code, but enough to validate the approachProduce clear technical documentation so a partners engineering team or Sanity R&D can build to production without re-doing the scoping workNavigate partner APIs, SDKs, and technical documentation directly; speak credibly with partner engineers about integration design and trade-offsPartner with R&D during build and launch to answer scoping questions and validate the implementation against the original opportunityTechnical ReviewReview partner-built integrations for code quality, security posture, API usage, and joint customer valueGive partners clear, actionable feedback, and flag systemic gaps back to Product/EngineeringAI & Technical FluencyBe fluent in core AI application architecture and the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
