Responsibilities
- Set Channel Strategy: Define where we play in PE, including which firms, fund types, and portfolio profiles to prioritize, and how the channel hits its pipeline and revenue targets every quarter.
- Activate and Expand Firms: Source new firm relationships and deepen existing ones across managing directors, operating partners, value creation teams, and portfolio CFOs. Turn each relationship into a steady flow of portfolio introductions.
- Build the Partner Program: Own the PE partner program and playbook, including partner tiers and incentives, value creation initiatives, portfolio-wide offers, events, and content that make Tabs easy to recommend.
- Own the Number: Carry the channel’s pipeline and revenue targets. Build the forecasting, reporting, and operating cadence that shows what’s working and where to double down.
- Build and Lead the Team: Hire, coach, and develop a team of high-performing partner managers, and set the bar for how we show up with firms.
- Build the Infrastructure: Stand up the tooling, CRM workflows, and processes the channel needs to scale, and do the IC work yourself when that’s the fastest path.
- Cross-Functional Execution: Work closely with our other partnerships channels, Sales, Marketing and Product to shepherd partner-sourced deals to close, bring portfolio feedback into the roadmap, and keep our positioning sharp for PE audiences.
- Represent Tabs within the industry: Be the face of Tabs at industry events, partner offsites, and portfolio CFO forums.
Qualification
- Hunter and Harvester: You’re as comfortable engaging and activating new firms as you are running a long-term account plan with an existing one. You know how to drive near-term pipeline and revenue without spending down long-term trust.
- Strategic: You see the forest for the trees, set clear and confident direction, and can explain the tradeoffs between different paths forward.
- Executive Presence: You’re credible in a room with managing directors and operating partners, and you communicate with confidence, structure, and clarity.
- First Principled and Data Backed: You form strong opinions from data and first principles, and you update them when the data changes.
- Curious and Fast Learning: You want to deeply understand partner dynamics, our product, and our buyer, and you pick up new concepts quickly.
- Builder: You have a strong bias for action and are excited to scale an early channel, including rolling up your sleeves to put the foundation in place.
- Bold: You have a vision for what a best-in-class PE partnerships program looks like and the drive to get us there.
