About the job

Build and lead Apollo.io’s data and distribution partnerships function, growing its reseller business and creating new commercial and platform-distribution partnerships.

What you'll do

  • Own the data-resale P&L; hire, coach, and manage quota-carrying AEs and develop demand-generation and growth strategies.
  • Originate and close bespoke data agreements and build marketplace distribution, including discovery marketplaces.
  • Develop new point-of-formation distribution partnerships and prioritize several potential “big swings” within the first six months.

What they ask for

  • 8+ years in business development, partnerships, or channel roles, including originating and closing complex, first-of-their-kind commercial agreements.
  • Experience managing or coaching a quota-carrying team while personally closing complex deals.
  • Comfort with both high-volume, SKU-based commercial structures and bespoke, one-off negotiations.
  • Track record of building a new channel, commercial model, or partner category.

Nice to have

  • Experience with data licensing, API/data-reseller businesses, or platform marketplaces such as Snowflake or Databricks.
  • Experience with point-of-formation or embedded distribution models; background scaling an early-stage partner or channel P&L.
