Giraffe360 is looking for a
Head of Channel Partner Programme to build and scale our partner channel model, which has seen great success in Poland, Croatia & Slovenia.
This is a founding role, so you will not be inheriting a fully built programme. You will collaborate on the partner motion end to end — from strategy and commercial model through to partner recruitment, onboarding, enablement, performance and success.
In the early stages, this will be a hands-on player-coach role. You’ll personally recruit and onboard the first cohort of partners, use those learnings to create a repeatable playbook, and manage our highest-value partner relationships directly with a view to grow the internal partner channel team, as well as expand the programme globally.
You’ll also own the commercial logic of the programme, including fee structures, incentives, exclusivity rules and performance thresholds, making sure the channel is commercially sound and producing meaningful results.
As the programme scales, you’ll help hire and manage future Partner Success and Ops/Enablement roles. Until then, this role needs someone who is comfortable building from almost scratch, working at pace and staying close to the detail.
What you’ll be doing:
- Collaborating on the strategy, targets and reporting for the Channel Partner Programme
- Recruit and onboard partners
- Build the onboarding playbook
- Define and enforce the partner exclusivity model & metrics
- Set and own the partner fee, incentive and performance structure
- Build clear reporting so the business has visibility of partner performance, progress and risk
- Work closely with finance, legal, logistics, product and marketing to make sure the programme is commercially sound and operationally deliverable
- Identify what partners need to succeed, including training, materials, product understanding and sales support
