What the job involves

- These partnerships may include leading firms such as EPAM, Accenture, Diva-e, KPS, Valtech, as well as platforms and tech providers like Shopify, Spryker, SAP, and others across the DACH region
- You will be part of the Global Alliances Team and own the partner and alliances strategy in your territory
- Your focus will be on growing partner-sourced revenue through collaborative sales efforts, co-marketing initiatives, and joint solutions
- You’ll work closely with internal teams and external stakeholders to develop strategic programs, align on go-to-market activities, and support joint pipeline development and enablement
- Recruiting and managing key Algolia partners across various categories—consulting firms (e.g. Accenture, Publicis, EPAM), advisory groups, system integrators, and technology companies (e-commerce platforms and complementary SaaS providers like Salesforce, Adobe, Commercetools, Amplience), also known as ISVs
- Driving partner-sourced revenue in alignment with our go-to-market (GTM) strategy
- Owning your territory strategy (Germany, Austria, Switzerland), with the autonomy to shape and execute your local partner development plan
- Collaborating cross-functionally with Sales Executives, Partner Sales Engineers, Marketing, and Business Development teams to align on priorities and advance partner opportunities
- Generating incremental pipeline through joint initiatives with a select group of strategic partners
- Building relationships across partner organizations, including Sales, Marketing, and Alliances teams, to ensure mutual success
- Creating and presenting detailed proposals for new and existing partnership programs, and advising on how to scale these partnerships effectively
- Providing updates and insights to EMEA sales leadership on partnership performance and opportunities
- Collaborating with marketing to develop compelling co-branded materials, such as solution briefs, case studies, white papers, blog posts, and enablement content
Our take
While in-site searching has been available for some time from web search servers such as Google and Bing, its functionality is limited due to it relying on general web scraping techniques which can miss relevant information. By contrast Algolia indexes only the company's site, allowing its search to serve accurate results extremely swiftly, which helps to drive sales conversions aside from making sites far more usable. The efficacy of this solution can be seen from its customer base of over 10,000 companies including the likes of Slack, Zendesk and Lacoste.
To diversify and increase the product range, Algolia have expanded into other real-time APIs such as product recommendations available for eCommerce websites. With the company performing extremely well over the last few years, Algolia have recruited key senior executives to further its growth. As the company continues to scale it seems likely that an IPO is not too distant a prospect.
