About the Role

WHAT YOU'LL DO

  • As a Commercial Channel Partnerships Manager, you will own the long tail of Cognition's global partner ecosystem — programmatically onboarding, activating, and scaling a high volume of partners around the world.

  • You'll build and run the systems, playbooks, and enablement programs that let dozens of partners ramp efficiently at once — turning a broad, fragmented partner base into a repeatable, scalable revenue channel.

  • You'll nurture emerging partners as they grow, identifying the ones showing real traction and championing their graduation into focus partnerships managed by our senior partner team.

  • You'll work closely with sales, engineering, product, and marketing to make sure every partner — no matter their size — has what they need to represent Devin credibly and win business.

  • Successful candidates will have 2+ years of experience in sales, consulting, investment banking, or private equity, strong analytical and organizational instincts, and the drive to build scalable programs in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment.

WHAT YOU'LL BRING

  • Insanely high adaptability and a deep passion for the (somewhat chaotic) early stages of company building.

  • Relentless drive – hunger to build, run, and continuously improve a partner program that operates at scale.

  • An operator's mindset – you love creating structure out of ambiguity: playbooks, processes, and metrics that make one person's effort go a hundred partners deep.

  • Boundless curiosity and ability to learn quickly – the market dynamics in this space change daily!

  • Deep partner and customer empathy – we're building long-term relationships and that requires always putting our partners and customers first.

  • The technical aptitude to become fluent in our products and a credible resource for partners on their AI strategy.

  • Team player – we win and lose with our incredible Product, Engineering, and GTM peers.
