Toronto, Ontario, Canada Confluent Full time $218,500 - $256,750
Confluent is pioneering a fundamentally new category of data infrastructure focused on data in motion.

Have you ever found a new favorite series on Netflix, picked up groceries curbside at Walmart, or paid for something using Square? That's the power of data in motion in action—giving organizations instant access to the massive amounts of data that is constantly flowing throughout their business.

At Confluent, we're building the foundational platform for this new paradigm of data infrastructure.

Our cloud-native offering is designed to be the intelligent connective tissue enabling real-time data, from multiple sources, to constantly stream across the organization.

With Confluent, organizations can create a central nervous system to innovate and win in a digital-first world.

We're looking for self-motivated team members who crave a challenge and feel energized to roll up their sleeves and help realize Confluent's enormous potential.

Chart your own path and take healthy risks as we solve big problems together.

We value having diverse teams and want you to grow as we grow—whether you're just starting out in your career or managing a large team, you'll be amazed at the magnitude of your impact.

Given our aspiration to make event streaming the central nervous system of the modern digital business, a robust cloud partner ecosystem is not only essential to our success but represents an x-factor opportunity as we create this new event-streaming category.

You will also be comfortable rolling up your sleeves to lead contract negotiations and define and execute mutual goals and metrics.

To make all this happen, you will leverage your industry-leading competencies in (a) building and managing a portfolio of ISV partnerships specifically within the SaaS applications sector, (b) developing joint business plans, value propositions, campaigns, and GTM strategies, and (c) delivering against aggressive multi-year financial and strategic goals.

Work closely with product management, engineering, and sales teams to do so.
Bring leadership and structure to joint strategy and GTM plans with partners, including prioritization of verticals, geos, solutions, metrics, financials, and target accounts
5+ years experience in the enterprise infrastructure software industry within the SaaS sector or within the data integration industry

5+ years of leading ISV alliances or partnership sales, ideally running partnerships with SaaS providers such as , ServiceNow, Workday, and/or Oracle.

Experiencing running partnerships with leaders in the data integration space, such as Qlik, Fivetran, Matillion, and/or Precisely, is also valued.

Track record of growing an enterprise software business through ISV partnerships
Highly effective at developing, maintaining, and influencing partner relationships at all levels, especially senior and executive leadership levels
Excellent communication and presentation capabilities combined with the ability to articulate complex business proposals clearly and to influence both internal and external stakeholders at executive levels
Excellent cross-functional leadership and collaboration skills that can quickly bring together Product, Marketing, Sales/Field to execute against partnerships
A strong business knowledge of data fabrics, message queues, ETL, and Kafka

A solid working knowledge of critical strategic partner strategies, technology offerings, key pain points, and how this fits or intersects with the Confluent offer.

Demonstrated success at applying analytical skills to long-term business planning that results in tangible business outcomes.
Ability to succeed in a fast-paced, high-growth environment while leading the organization through multiple company stages.

We are committed to building an inclusive global team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, beliefs, and experiences.

The more diverse we are, the richer our community and the broader our impact.
