Technology Partnerships Manager 🔥


A Manager, Technology Partnerships impacts Zapier’s growth by defining the strategy, process, and management of the team that is responsible for working with partners on product partnerships. This team primarily focuses on cultivating, developing, deepening relationships with Zapier’s key partners like Slack, Zoom, HubSpot, Mailchimp, Shopify, and more by driving the mass distribution of Zapier’s products to their user bases.

The purpose of this role is to grow and lead the Partner Management team, provide the strategy and frameworks for how we attract and engage our partners, and partner with Product and Engineering to develop the tools our partners need to provide their users with seamless automation capabilities.

The Whole Package

Location: North American Time Zones

If you want to work remote, that’s great. If you want to work near others, that’s cool too. Our team of 100+ is distributed because it lets us work with the best people. You don’t have to be located in the USA either. Some team members live in the United Kingdom, Thailand, India, Nigeria, Taiwan, Guatemala, New Zealand, Australia, and more! You just need the skills and drive to succeed in this role and the ability to work from anywhere.

Compensation:

  • Competitive salary (we don’t use remote as an excuse to pay less)

  • Retirement plan with 4% company match*
  • Profit sharing

  • Unlimited vacation policy. Plus we require you to take at least 2 weeks off each year. We see most employees take 4-5 weeks off per year. This isn’t a vague policy where unlimited vacation means no vacation.
  • Work with awesome companies around the world. We partner with great software companies all over the world and you’ll constantly get to interact with people from these great companies [8]

*While we take care of our international folks as best we can, currently, healthcare and retirement plans are only available to US, UK, and Canadian employees.
