Company mission
To redefine the applicant tracking system (ATS) category, providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation.
Role
Who you are
- This is not a typical partnership role. Someone with a background in recruiting operations, teaching, or product integrations might be a great fit
- You’re ambitious and eager to level up your skills. You’ll be working with a small but highly competent team, where everyone is committed to being excellent at what they do. We have amazing experts internally, and if you’re hungry to grow within a world-class marketing team, this is a fantastic opportunity to stretch yourself
- You’ve tackled projects with a lot of ambiguity and know how to create structure and drive progress
- You seek leverage in your work—meaning you don’t just get things done, but also build repeatable processes, playbooks, and automation to make execution smoother over time
- You’re deeply curious and good at thinking about problems from first principles. We do a lot of things differently at Ashby and having the flexibility and curiosity to understand why (and apply those principles is critical to being successful)
- You’re excited about becoming an expert in Ashby’s APIs to support integration discussions. You’ll be responsible for onboarding integration partners in our ecosystem
- You’re business-minded and confident handling contracts. You’ll be managing partner referral contracts and relationships, so understanding contract management is key
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Partner Education & Ecosystems to help us scale our partner education efforts, build engaging training experiences, and manage our growing integration ecosystem
- Over the next 12 months, you’ll be responsible for:
- 1. Partner Education & Training
- Developing a certification program and training for our Ashby Experts, including ongoing community management to ensure they are well-equipped to advocate for and implement Ashby successfully
- Designing and running structured learning programs, including workshops and knowledge-sharing initiatives for our broader partner ecosystem
- 2. Referral Programs
- Owning onboarding, enablement, tiering, and tracking for referral partners—from top-of-funnel engagement through to performance reporting
- We already get great referrals from happy customers. You’ll help us systematize this—through smarter reward structures, clearer CTA moments, and better tooling
- 3. Integration Ecosystem
- Onboarding, educating, and promoting integration partners. You’ll work with partners in Product, Sales, and Customer Success to make sure the ecosystem scales well and adds real customer value
Application process
- Deadline to Apply 5 June 2025 at 08:00 BST
- 30-minute intro call – In introductory chat with Anna to learn more about the role and share a bit about your experience and how you’d want to approach this role
- 45-minute interview with me (Kat, Hiring Manager) – We’ll dive into past projects and discuss your approach to partner enablement
- Partner Education Simulation Assignment – You’ll complete a take-home or live working session
- Virtual Onsite (2 hours, 15 min) – You’ll meet with team members across marketing, sales, and leadership to assess alignment and collaboration
Our take
Reportedly, 50% of employers don’t use applicant tracking systems, largely because of blockers with implementation or insufficient buy-in from top management. Ashby's co-founder and CEO, Benji Encz, experienced first-hand how existing solutions failed to support hyper-growth hiring needs whilst working at PlanGrid, which is in part what led to the creation of the company.
Ashby is looking to redefine the ATS category - providing talent teams with analytics, workflows and automation - and intends to replace solutions from well-established vendors like Greenhouse and Lever with algorithms. The company's AI can schedule interviews and infer demographic data, which clients use for aggregate analyses of DEI hiring metrics.
The market for recruitment software could potentially reach $3.5 billion by 2030. Unsurprisingly, there is now a growing number of startups emerging to compete for a slice of it. Despite the crowded market and having only emerged from stealth in 2022, Ashby has already secured over 500 clients (including high-profile customers like Notion and Figma). The company has also attracted impressive funding which will be used to expand its product offering beyond what is typically expected from an ATS.
