Senior Growth Partner Development Manager (PDM)
HubSpot’s Solutions Partner Program is looking for a Senior Growth Partner Development Manager to help onboard and activate new partners to the HubSpot solution partner ecosystem. The Solution partner program is a program for companies to build their knowledge of HubSpot and build a services practice off the back of our ever-evolving technology.
As a Growth Partner Development Manager (GPDM), you will own a book of business of newly acquired partners. Our Partner Specialists sign partners up to the program, and then they are handed to the GPDM to onboard and activate them and get them to Platinum partner status → at which point they move over to our Core PDM team. This part of the journey is critical to a partner’s long-term success and involves onboarding & enablement, co-selling, and supporting the building of their co-servicing practice. You have a unique opportunity to maximise a partner’s growth through quicker time to activation and driving sourced revenue whilst also building their service knowledge. Partners will typically spend 2 years with us in GPDM, so this is long term relationships versus a short transitional journey.
