Who you are

Familiarity with embedded product integration partnerships (payments, CRM, e-commerce) is a plus

This role requires someone who understands the rapidly evolving AI landscape, can translate technical needs into partnership opportunities, and can structure partnerships that support long-term product growth
Lead strategic AI partnerships that accelerate ManyChat's AI and agentic product roadmap
Partner with executives, product, engineering, legal, and finance to drive build / buy / partner decisions

Translate product and technical requirements into scalable partnership frameworks and pipeline
Provide forward-looking insight on the evolving AI landscape to inform product and company strategy

Our take

Over 80% of businesses currently use chatbots to provide a variety of automated services to customers. However, chatbots are generally uniform and provide standardised responses, unless the business staffs a chatbot programmer.

ManyChat provides a platform for the creation of customised chatbots without needing any experience in coding. The startup focuses on providing small businesses with opportunities to equip the messaging services of their Facebook and Instagram business pages with automotive customer service tools.

The company has grown a huge customer base of over a million businesses, powering more than a billion conversations annually. Although there is tough competition in this field, including new AI chatbots arriving on the market, ManyChat enjoyed a Series B round in 2025, which will be used to expand its market reach. A focus on ease of use and code-free customisation will likely ensure its ongoing popularity.
