• We're looking for a Strategic Partnerships Manager to help originate, structure, and scale the partnerships that extend Nexthink's reach with other software companies (ISVs). This will be an individual contributor, partner-facing role: you'll be on the road at large conferences, representing Nexthink at joint announcements, press briefings, and events. You'll work cross-functionally with Legal, Product, Engineering, and Marketing to structure, launch, and scale partnerships. We are looking for people with the ambition, judgment, and interpersonal skill to own ambiguous, cross-functional problems – and the comfort to hold your own in a room with partner executives.
• Analyze the Nexthink Ecosystem and help Identify strategic partnership opportunities.
• Assist in defining key milestones, deliverables, and success metrics for each ISV partner.
• Partner with Legal on contracting and deal structuring, with Engineering on technical integration scope, and with Marketing on joint go-to-market and launch plans.
• Work on joint announcements, press briefings, and co-marketing moments tied to partner launches.
• Build relationships across the wider software ecosystem – from business development counterparts to technical and marketing teams.
• Collaborate on business reviews to track partnership health, progress against goals, and expansion opportunities, and build the business case for new and expanded alliances.
• Travel to major partner conferences and industry events regularly to build and maintain partner relationships in person.

• 3-6 years of experience in partnership business development, strategy consulting, investment banking, or corporate development.
• Commercially minded, capable of originating partnership opportunities; previous experience is a plus.
• Comfortable with PR and launch work: joint announcements, press briefings, and event presence.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills – able to hold a confident conversation with partner executives and present externally.
• Ambitious and hands-on – comfortable owning ambiguous, cross-functional problems from first analysis through to launch.
• Former consultants, bankers, and MBA graduates: this is a direct path into a commercial, deal-facing role in high-growth software, with visibility to senior leadership and partner executives.
• Based in London or Boston (this role is not remote), with regular travel to partner conferences and events.

• Flexible Hours and unlimited vacation (employees have unlimited paid time off on top of the 15 days of holidays we offer), 11 company-paid holidays, and 3 extra days for volunteering.
• Hybrid work model that balances office and remote work, with structured onboarding to foster connections and team integration.
• Free access to professional training platforms to explore your interests and enhance your skills.
• Up to 16 weeks of paid leave for birthing parents/primary caregivers, 6 weeks for secondary caregivers.
• Plan for the future with a 401(k) plan featuring up to 4% company matching contributions, vesting immediately, to grow your retirement savings.
• Bonuses for referring successful hires after three months of continuous employment.
• Base salary ranges are determined by country, role, level, experience, and skills. The range displayed on each job posting reflects Nexthink’s good faith determination of the minimum and maximum targets for new hire salaries across all US locations. Individual pay is determined by related factors, including job skills, experience, and relevant education or training, which may impact a final offer.
