Senior partner manager driving co-sell pipeline for Shopify and eCommerce SaaS ecosystems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Partnerships & Channel Revenue Manager with 10+ years driving partner-sourced pipeline across the Shopify and eCommerce SaaS ecosystem. I translate partner relationships into co-sell opportunities and closed-won business through joint business plans, QBRs, and disciplined pipeline ownership.
In my most recent role, I owned a Shopify-focused agency/referral partner portfolio, serving as the primary business and revenue contact. I managed ~50 active partners, drove $1M+ annually in partner-influenced pipeline, increased partner referral volume 30% YoY, and expanded active partner engagement 40% YoY.
I bring a repeatable partner enablement engine: product demonstrations, partner-assisted deal support, structured co-selling motions with AEs, and joint marketing initiatives like webinars, case studies, and events. I also forecast partner-sourced pipeline and track performance against growth targets to keep partner programs tied to outcomes.
Previously, I scaled marketplace and ecosystem partnerships by owning AWS, Salesforce, and Snowflake marketplace partnership strategy, designing partner programs and co-marketing with teams like Product/Engineering to feed partner feedback into GTM strategy. I’ve built and deepened partner ecosystems across Shopify, BigCommerce, Salesforce Commerce Cloud, and Magento—turning enablement into measurable pipeline growth.
