About the Team
Partnerships are central to Lokalise's commercial strategy and represent a significant opportunity for the next stage of our growth. As Head of Partnerships, you will own the global partnerships function, reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer. This is a senior commercial role for someone who can shape the strategy, build the operating model, develop our most important partner relationships and turn partnerships into measurable pipeline and revenue.
Lokalise's partner ecosystem spans strategic technology platforms, cloud providers, agencies, solutions partners, and referral partners. A major opportunity lies in helping those partners see localization as a broader growth and customer experience lever, not just a translation workflow, and in helping them build services around Lokalise that create new commercial opportunities for both sides. As AI continues to reshape how customers create, manage, and scale content, we need someone who understands that shift and can help Lokalise turn it into competitive advantage through the right partner strategy.
You will define how we identify, activate, and scale the right partnerships across EMEA, the US, and beyond, while building and developing your team and staying hands-on in making it happen.
What You Will Do
- Define and own the global partnerships strategy, covering partner segmentation, prioritisation, tiering, commercial model, lifecycle, operating cadence, and go-to-market approach
- Take direct accountability for meeting partnership-sourced and partnership-influenced pipeline and revenue targets
- Lead and grow strategic partner relationships, including technology platforms, agencies, solutions partners, and referral and ecosystem partners globally
- Build joint value propositions and go-to-market plans that drive mutual growth, pipeline, and revenue; develop co-sell and co-marketing motions in close collaboration with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, and Revenue Operations
- Champion partners internally across Sales, Customer Success, Marketing, and Product, ensuring teams understand where and how partners can help Lokalise win
- Build, own, and continuously improve the partner lifecycle: from identification and qualification through onboarding, enablement, activation, and performance management
- Recruit and enable new partners across priority markets, with a primary focus on EMEA and the US
- Lead, coach, and develop your team
