Hiring Manager:
Nick Churcher
– VP Marketing ✨
TL;DR – Why This Role Matters We’re hiring a Founding Partnerships Lead to build Scribe’s partnerships function from the ground up. This role exists to answer a simple but critical question: where do partnerships create real, repeatable growth for Scribe? You’ll develop the initial partner strategy, close the first partners yourself, and pressure-test what works through real customer engagements. Early on, this is a highly hands-on role: leading partner conversations, shaping commercial terms, running pilots, and turning learnings into a program that can scale. This is not a role for maintaining an existing channel. It’s for someone excited to build, test, and refine a partnerships motion from zero, and to own the outcomes. About the Role
As our Founding Partnerships Lead, you will: Stand up the partnerships function end-to-end, including defining partner strategy and priorities, building the core operating workflows, and establishing how partnerships are sourced, tracked, enabled, and measured
Identify, pitch, negotiate, and close the first wave of partners, owning relationships from first conversation through first customer outcomes
Design partner offers and commercial models that align with how partners actually sell and deliver work, while protecting long-term economics
Run time-bound pilots with partners to test value in real customer engagements, then translate what works into clear, reusable playbooks
Track partner impact across pipeline creation, revenue, product activation, and expansion, and use those insights to inform how the function should scale
Work closely with Sales, Marketing, Product, Legal, and RevOps to remove friction and ship effective partner motions
Location
While we’re a globally distributed team, this role requires you to live permanently in the United States (San Francisco strongly preferred). What Makes You a Great Fit
You've built something from nothing. You have done 0-1 partnerships before and you are itching to build again.
You're highly commercial. You can own a deal cycle, negotiate cleanly, and make tradeoffs that protect long-term economics while getting things live fast.
You’re operator-minded and enjoy turning ambiguity into structure and results
You understand how partners actually work. You can map incentives, delivery models, and buying paths inside consultancies, integrators, and services-led firms.
You communicate clearly and directly, both in writing and on calls, and are comfortable with senior stakeholders
You thrive in autonomy, move with urgency, and take accountability for outcomes
This Role Is Not for You If
You’re looking to inherit a fully built partnerships program rather than build one
You prefer to stay at the strategy or relationship level without owning execution
You’re most effective in mature organizations with defined playbooks and clear handoffs
You’re uncomfortable testing ideas quickly and changing course when something doesn’t work
