SHAPE THE FUTURE OF PRIVACY WITH USERCENTRICS
Usercentrics is a global leader in data privacy and privacy-led marketing solutions. We believe there is no need for a trade-off between growth and privacy compliance. Our vision is to unlock the potential of data privacy to empower a thriving digital ecosystem. We work with companies to create a healthy balance between data-driven business and privacy-led marketing for every size of enterprise. Our customers build trust with their users through improved transparency and control to drastically improve marketing and monetization, while achieving full privacy compliance.
We are looking for a Partner Acquisition Manager to join our Partnerships team and drive new partners - spanning both Usercentrics and Cookiebot™ brands.
You will own the territory - learning the regional trends and partner proposition quickly, researching and enriching contacts at the right companies, running 1-to-few and 1-to-1 outreach, booking qualified calls, and ensuring that the partner has everything they need to sign the partner contract and bring their first customers. And you'll work closely with our Partner Marketing team, who generate lead lists through ABM and performance marketing campaigns.
Requirements
Develop an understanding of the partner landscape in your market - the types of players, the business drivers that influence their decisions, and where Usercentrics and Cookiebot win.
Run outbound campaigns and sequences across email, LinkedIn, and phone to engage priority partner targets, adapting messaging to each segment (e.g. compliance-focused, performance marketing or e-commerce agencies)
Initiate senior relationships with partner contacts - understanding the business drivers and partnership decisions in their organization to guide them towards a speedy decision.
Own the full cycle from first outreach through to signed, activated partnership - qualifying fit, nurturing the relationship, and closing new partners.
Report on market coverage, pipeline, and partnership outcomes, using the learnings to continually sharpen strategy and targeting.
Keep all activity, contact data, and partner status accurate and current in Salesforce and sequencing tools (E.g. Outreach.io, Clay)
Ensure that no lead is blocked in the contract and sign up process.
Collaborate with Partner Marketing for campaign support and lead generation.
Work with our Partner Managers after closing the contract to hand over the account, who will then manage and grow the partner relationship.
One of the key performance indicators is the number of signed partners that convert.
What you bring to the table
Bachelor's degree.
3+ years of experience in a sales or partnerships role, with a demonstrable track record of building pipeline and new relationships.
Resilience - showing your ambition and your ability to overcome challenges and objections.
Strong commercial acumen - able to assess good opportunities and partner fit, and to build strong relationships based on mutual business benefits with a partner.
Self-directed - comfortable owning a market with significant autonomy
Strong written and verbal communication skills; confident building relationships at all levels of a partner organization.
