About the role
Director, Strategic Partnerships responsible for defining and expanding PermitFlow's partner ecosystem, driving partner-sourced and partner-influenced ARR, and building scalable partner program infrastructure.
Responsibilities
- Define the partner strategy. Build the map: which categories matter (FSM/ISV, OEM/manufacturer, distributor, construction management, financing, trade association, AHJ/govtech, adjacent SaaS), where the leverage is, and which 5-10 partners we go deep with.
- Recruit and sign foundational partners. Identify, pitch, negotiate, and close partnership agreements with target ISVs (e.g., ServiceTitan, AccuLynx, JobNimbus, Procore, Buildertrend), OEMs and distributors in HVAC / roofing / windows / doors / solar, financing partners, and trade associations.
- Drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline. Carry a number. Partnerships exist to drive deals - referrals, co-sells, embedded distribution.
- Build the joint GTM motion. Partner with Marketing on co-branded campaigns, webinars, dealer/distributor events, and conference presence. Partner with Sales on co-sell motions, account mapping, and joint pursuits.
- Own contract structuring and negotiation. Lead deal terms - referral economics, rev share, co-marketing commitments, integration scope, SLAs. Build the standard partnership agreement template with Legal so future deals close faster.
- Be the product feedback loop from the ecosystem. Funnel integration requirements, API gaps, and partner-driven roadmap input back to Product.
- Stand up the partner program infrastructure. Build the partner tiering framework, onboarding playbook, enablement assets, scorecard, and QBR cadence. Make it scalable so we can hire underneath you in 12-18 months.
- Represent PermitFlow externally. Speak at industry events (IRE, AHR Expo, GAF Roofing Academy, NAHB IBS, ServiceTitan Pantheon, etc.).
