About the Role

As a Senior Strategic Technology Partnerships Manager, you'll shape Attentive's data partnership strategy, building and growing complex relationships with the partners that sit at the core of a brand's data stack: data warehouses, CDPs, and identity solutions. These partnerships determine how effectively brands can activate their first-party data through Attentive, and you'll own the most important of them.

The role calls for close cross-functional work with product, sales, CS, services, marketing, and technical solutions. We're looking for a self-starter who moves quickly and delivers real results for our business and, above all, for our customers. You'll need a proven ability to manage executive-level relationships, align teams across the organization, and run go-to-market efforts that create measurable value for both Attentive and our partners.

  • Own the most important data partner relationships end to end, building trust at every level from working teams to the executive stakeholders
