About Copado

At Copado, we are revolutionizing the way organizations approach Salesforce DevOps. Our comprehensive suite of solutions empowers teams to collaborate more effectively and deliver higher quality software faster. We are committed to innovation, excellence, and fostering a culture of continuous improvement.

We are seeking a strategic and revenue-focused Sr. Director to join our team. This is a "builder" role for a leader who understands that Partner Marketing is not just about relationships—it is a primary engine for Demand Generation.

Reporting to the VP of Demand Generation, you will build and lead a team responsible for the entire partner ecosystem: GSIs, RSIs, Tech Partners, and Strategic Alliances. You will bridge the gap between our Product, Alliances, and Sales teams to create a unified "Better Together" message, while ensuring that every partner activity is tied directly to Sourced and Influenced pipeline.

Your Roles & Responsibilities

Demand Generation & Partner Ecosystem Strategy

• Pipeline Engine: Operate Partner Marketing as a primary demand generation channel. Drive measurable growth in Partner Sourced (net new) and Partner Influenced (deal acceleration) pipeline.

• Global Ecosystem Management: Own the global marketing strategy across all partnership tiers: Global System Integrators (GSIs), Regional SIs, Tech Partnerships, and Strategic Alliances (e.g., Salesforce).

• Partner Mapping: Develop and maintain a comprehensive Partner Mapping function. Systematically map all GTM partners by Product Cloud and Industry Vertical (and sub-segment) to identify coverage gaps and target high-propensity joint accounts.

Cross-Functional Messaging & Alignment

• Unified Messaging: Lead the coordination of partner messaging. Collaborate deeply with Alliances and Product Marketing to ensure our "Better Together" stories are technically accurate, market-relevant, and consistent across all channels.

• Integrated Campaigns: Ensure partner marketing is not a silo. Integrate partner motions into the broader Global Demand Gen campaigns (e.g., FY26 themes), ensuring partners are activated in our field events, digital programs, and ABM strategies.

Operational Excellence & Team Leadership

• Build & Lead: Recruit, hire, and mentor a high-performing Partner Marketing team. Foster a culture of empathetic leadership, collaboration, and a "One Team" mentality.

• 100% Budget Accuracy: Own the global partner marketing budget and MDF (Market Development Funds) with precision. Ensure distinct tracking of spend and strict adherence to quarterly financial targets, targeting 100% spend utilization.

• Project Management Rigor: Instill a culture of "flawless execution" for all tactics in the funnel - such as partner webinars, joint events, and content launches. Ensure every initiative has a clear workback schedule and is delivered on time.

Performance Reporting & Analytics

• Executive Visibility: Own the reporting cadence for the partner channel. Deliver clear, concise reports and strategy to the executive team highlighting leads generated, pipeline contribution, and ROI on MDF spend.

• Lead Management: Oversee the end-to-end lead flow process for partner leads, ensuring 100% data integrity and rapid hand-off to the Sales team.

Required Professional & Technical Expertise

Professional Expertise:

• 8+ years experience in B2B Marketing, with specific expertise in Partner Marketing and Demand Generation.

• Salesforce Ecosystem DNA: Deep familiarity with the Salesforce partner ecosystem (GSIs, SIs, ISVs) is mandatory.

• Leadership Style: Champion of empathetic leadership and a "one team" mentality. Proven ability to collaborate with Alliances, Marketing and Sales leaders to drive shared success rather than competing agendas.

• Analytical Mindset: You manage by metrics. You can clearly differentiate between Sourced and Influenced revenue and allocate budget based on performance data.

• High ownership, urgency, and ability to operate autonomously in a fast-moving environment.

Technical Expertise

• Strong experience with Salesforce CRM (PRM experience is a plus) and Marketing Automation platforms (Pardot, etc).

• Experience defining end-to-end workflows for partner lead registration and campaign attribution.

• Proficiency in Project Management tools (e.g., Asana, etc) to manage complex joint-marketing calendars.

• Ability to interpret partner performance data to drive decisions on which partners to prioritize for MDF and joint-marketing investment.
