🌱 About the role We're hiring a Strategic Partner Manager to build and run a portfolio of partners that generates monthly recurring pipeline for Greenly, at a global scale.
You'll own this portfolio end to end: identification, recruitment, qualification, onboarding, and performance management. Your portfolio will be composed of roughly 80% consulting firms matching our IPP (Ideal Partner Profile), complemented by a handful of high-potential strategic partners and a few more exploratory partnerships to test new segments or geographies.
You'll manage both inbound (incoming partnership requests) and outbound (active recruitment of strategic partners), against a clear mandate: hit monthly sales and pipeline-generation targets. You'll operate with real autonomy and know how to work across different time horizons at once — the quick wins that move this month's number, and the slower trust-building that turns a partner into a long-term engine that helps Greenly scale. You'll work jointly with the Product team on the partner roadmap, the AM team on expanding partner-sourced portfolio growth, and the Marketing team on supporting partners with branding and visibility.
Key Responsibilities🪴 Build and grow a partner portfolio- Map the landscape of strategic ESG consulting firms globally, and identify the highest-potential entry points
- Actively recruit new partners through a mix of outbound prospecting and inbound handling, while actively supporting the practice to improve inbound quality through the marketing work you'll do with the team
- Build a balanced portfolio: ~80% IPP-fit consulting firms, a handful of strategic partners, and exploratory partnerships to test new growth avenues
🤝 Qualify partners and shape their Greenly proposition- Run discovery conversations to assess fit (client base, ESG/climate maturity, commercial potential) before investing further
- Help each partner articulate how Greenly fits into their offering
- Prioritize fast: move quickly with high-potential partners, disengage quickly from the rest
- Build genuine, lasting trust with consulting firm leadership and teams — understanding how they're structured, incentivized, and sell to their own clients, not just running transactional check-ins
💥 Onboard and activate new partners- Build strategic contracts to secure long-term successful partnerships
- Run structured onboarding for every new partner: product training, sales methodology, deployment fundamentals
📈 Drive portfolio performance- Own monthly targets for pipeline generated and sales closed through the partner network
- Run regular performance reviews with active partners: pipeline, blockers, and partnership trajectory
- Keep portfolio management efficient and systematic enough to handle a growing volume of partners
- Build shared accountability for revenue outcomes between Greenly and each partner
- Work jointly with Greenly AEs to maximize the sales success of your partners with their client portfolio
🌱 Skills to succeed- Minimum 5 years of experience in partnership management or enterprise (grand compte) sales, in B2B SaaS or complex solutions, with a proven track record of driving revenue through a channel 💼
- Comfortable building a portfolio from scratch: active prospecting, rigorous qualification, and disciplined pipeline follow-up 🛠️
- Ability to build trust with demanding consulting firms and strategic partners 💚
- Strong commercial and enablement instincts: able to translate a technical offering into a clear value proposition for a partner and their clients 🤝
- Genuine understanding of how consulting firms operate 💡
- Highly autonomous: comfortable taking direction and running independently, without needing a detailed playbook for every situation ✨
- Skilled at managing multiple time horizons at once: the quick wins that hit this month's pipeline target, and the slower relationship-building that turns a partner into a long-term revenue engine 🧠
- Fluent French & English required 🇫🇷/🇬🇧 (global working environment)
- Comfortable with ambiguity, able to iterate on an existing playbook rather than wait for a fixed process ⚡️
What Makes This Role Unique- Direct revenue impact: you sign partners, generate pipeline, and drive measurable commercial outcomes
- Build a portfolio that's genuinely yours, with real decision-making mandate on who to recruit and how to prioritize
- Cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Product, Account Managers, and Marketing teams
- Ability to support building and improving the partnership practice in a proactive manner
- Join Greenly at a pivotal moment, in a market driven by regulation and AI tech adoption that creates real business urgency for consulting firms
- The opportunity to define how a climate scale-up structures its partner ecosystem at a global scale
🌱 Perks & benefits- 💰 Salary package: €45 000 yearly fix salary + €40 000 yearly bonus potential
- 📍 Beautiful offices in the heart of Paris (9ᵉ arrondissement)
