About the Role
As our Partner Manager for International Markets, you'll build and grow Tellent's partner network across every market outside our core regions of Benelux, DACH and France. There's no established network to inherit and no fixed playbook to follow: you decide which markets offer the strongest opportunity, define what a strong partner looks like, and then find, sign and grow them. The primary focus is partner acquisition and activation, turning partnerships into a scalable, predictable source of pipeline and revenue for Tellent. You will report to the Partnership Lead for BLX & International Markets
Your 12-Month Journey
During the first 3 months: You research and prioritize International Markets, define Tellent's Ideal Partner Profile, and land your first signed partners.
Within 6 months: You're operating independently, with a focused group of high-potential partners signed in the right markets and the processes in place that form the foundation of the International Markets partner model.
After 1 year: You're driving partner-generated pipeline through joint business plans and structured reviews, and you continue expanding the network into new markets and opportunities.
What You'll Be Doing
Market Development: Research and prioritize International Markets, and define Tellent's Ideal Partner Profile per priority market
Partner Acquisition: Build a strong pipeline of potential partners, proactively approaching, qualifying and recruiting the high-potential ones
Commercial Case & Negotiation: Understand each partner's business model, build a compelling commercial case for working with Tellent, and negotiate agreements with clear mutual expectations
Activation & Enablement: Onboard and enable partners on Tellent, Recruitee, our ICP, positioning and sales approach
Performance Management: Establish joint business plans, commercial cadences and pipeline reviews, and manage performance against agreed results
Collaboration: You'll work daily with the Partnership Manager Benelux, Marketing and RevOps to route leads, align on positioning and bring campaigns to life
What You Bring
Entrepreneurial Track Record: Proven ability to build something from the ground up, ideally a partner, channel or business development motion
Commercial Skill: Strong new-business and partner acquisition skills, with direct B2B/SaaS sales or business development experience as a strong advantage
Partner Development: Skilled at identifying, qualifying and engaging high-potential partners, and turning a signed partnership into an active commercial relationship
Key Trait: Comfortable creating structure while executing in an environment without a finished playbook
Key Trait: Entrepreneurial, self-driven and hands-on, combining a hunter mentality for new partnerships with the discipline to develop long-term relationships
Communication: Professional fluency in English, comfortable operating across international, cross-cultural partner relationships
