We’ve built a product customers love and a business that’s scaling quickly, backed by world-class investors and driven by rapid AI innovation across multiple product lines.At Aircall, you’ll join a company in motion. We’re ambitious, product-driven, and execution-focused, with visible impact, fast decisions, and real growth. How we work at Aircall: We’re customer-obsessed, data-driven, and focused on delivering meaningful outcomes. We value ownership, continuous learning, and thoughtful speed. If you thrive in a collaborative, fast-moving environment where trust and impact matter, you’ll feel at home here. The Opportunity   This isn't a traditional channel management role. We're looking for a senior partnerships leader who can architect and scale a high-performing partner ecosystem across ANZ — someone who brings deep channel program expertise, commercial rigour, and a genuine understanding of how AI is reshaping the way partners build, sell, and deliver.   You'll own a portfolio of strategic partners spanning System Integrators, Solution Partners, Digital Consulting firms, AI Implementers, and Technology Resellers. But more than managing relationships, you'll be designing the motions that turn partnerships into predictable, scalable revenue — joint GTM strategies, structured enablement programs, tiered engagement models, and data-driven partner development plans.   You'll report into the Partnerships leadership team and work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, and Product to ensure channel is embedded in how we go to market — not bolted on.   This role is based out of our Sydney office (3 days in-office): You’ll be based in our Sydney CBD office on O’Connell Street, working a hybrid model of three days in the office and two days from home.     Unfortunately we cannot offer visa sponsorship for this role.\n Key Responsibilities:<ul> <li>Build & Scale the Partner Ecosystem</li> <li>Identify, recruit, and onboard high-potential partners — Solution Partners, AI Implementers, eCommerce Agencies, and CX consultancies — aligned to Aircall's ICP and strategic priorities.</li> <li>Design and refine onboarding programs that accelerate time-to-first-deal and drive early partner engagement.</li> <li>Develop tiered partner engagement strategies that match investment to partner potential and performance.</li> </ul> <div> </div> <ul> <li>Drive Revenue Through the Channel</li> <li>Own partner-sourced pipeline and revenue targets.
