We're looking for a Senior Partnership Manager to join our Commerce team and drive strategic partnerships that fuel our growth pipeline. This role is critical to expanding our market presence and establishing Lazer as the go-to partner for enterprise commerce solutions.
You’ll represent Lazer at industry events, forge new relationships with decision-makers (AEs, team leads, execs), and generate qualified partnership opportunities to keep our sales pipeline healthy and primed.
This isn’t a traditional sales role — your focus is on connection and co-creation, not closing. You’ll identify the right opportunities and tee them up for our sales team, acting as a force multiplier for our growth efforts.
