Build and deliver partner sales kits (one-pagers, decks, email templates), run enablement sessions, and ensure partners can clearly articulate Juno’s value and actively generate partner-sourced pipeline
Build and maintain senior-level relationships with platform executives, firm owners, alliance leaders, and potential strategic acquirers. Serve as Juno’s primary representative in partnership conversations, driving clarity, accountability, and momentum
Create joint business plans with partners, define KPIs (referrals, pipeline, revenue), and hold partners accountable. Collaborate closely with Sales, Product, and Customer Success to ensure partnerships complement—not complicate—the core sales motion and platform strategy
Continuously evaluate opportunities and say no to good ideas to protect great ones. Keep the company focused on the highest-leverage partnerships without pulling teams into tactical distraction
