We are offering a truly unique opportunity for a highly motivated and experienced Partnerships Manager to build and scale our partner network from the ground up. With a growing footprint across the Nordics, EMEA, and beyond, this role presents an unparalleled chance to forge strategic alliances - with system integrators, resellers, technology partners, and consultancies - that multiply our reach and revenue.

As we establish ourselves as market leaders in delivering best in class employee engagement apps for communication, training, and operations for frontline workers, we are looking for someone who can identify, close, and nurture the partnerships that will turn Relesys into a household name across global enterprise markets.

As a Partnerships Manager, your role will include, but will not be limited to:

  • Identify, prospect, and onboard new strategic partners - including resellers, referral partners, system integrators, and technology alliances - aligned with our ideal customer profile

  • Own the full partner lifecycle: from initial outreach and commercial negotiation to onboarding, enablement, and joint go-to-market execution

  • With a true builder's mentality, you will be defining internal processes and establishing partner tracking metrics from "day zero", and execute partnership plans with clear revenue targets, KPIs, and milestones for each strategic partner

  • Work closely with the sales team to generate and co-sell pipeline through partner channels, ensuring deals are progressed and closed effectively

  • Build strong, trusted relationships with key stakeholders within partner organizations, including C-level executives, sales leaders, and product teams

  • Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, product, and customer success to create co-marketing campaigns, joint value propositions, and seamless partner onboarding experiences

  • Represent Relesys at industry events, partner summits, and networking forums to expand our partner ecosystem

  • Deliver accurate revenue forecasts and pipeline reporting for the partner channel


Who are you?

  • Minimum 3+ years of experience in partnerships, channel sales, or business development in a B2B SaaS environment

  • Proven track record of building and scaling partner programs that generate measurable revenue impact

  • Experience working within or alongside the retail, hospitality, or frontline workforce industries is a strong advantage

  • Deep understanding of SaaS go-to-market motions and how partner channels amplify them

  • Strong commercial acumen with the ability to structure and negotiate win-win partnership agreements

  • Outstanding communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills - equally comfortable with a start-up founder and a C-suite executive

  • Self-starter mentality: you thrive with autonomy, move fast, and know how to prioritize in a high-growth environment

  • Results-oriented and data-driven, with a genuine passion for building something from scratch

  • A bachelor's degree in business, marketing, or a related field is preferred

  • Fluent or professionally proficient in English; additional Nordic or European languages are a plus


What do we offer?

  • Grow together with a fast-paced scale-up company backed by the Private Equity fund Copilot 

  • A truly unique opportunity to tap into the immense potential of the Nordic market and transform it into a remarkable success story towards becoming market leaders

  • Great level of responsibility from day one in a dynamic and international working environment
