Partner Development Manager
Location:
US East, NYC or Boston preferred, must be in eastern time zone
The Mission
Fastly's growth shows no signs of slowing, and our channel is a key part of what's next. We're looking for a Partner Development Manager based in the Eastern US (ideally NY or Boston) to build our partner business in the region: deepening existing partnerships while identifying, recruiting, and onboarding new ones. This isn't a traditional channel management role; it's a hands-on, builder position for someone who thrives on execution. We need a self-starter who moves fast, takes ownership, and isn't afraid to get in the weeds.
Success ultimately comes down to revenue driven through and with partners, but getting there requires relentless focus on partner engagement.
How Success is measured
This role is measured against three primary criteria:
New Bookings:
Revenue generated through partners in the region.
Partner-Sourced Pipeline:
Qualified, Fastly-accepted opportunities that partners bring to the table through joint engagement and their own activities.
Active, Engaged Partners:
Depth over breadth. A healthy, activated portfolio matters more than a long partner list; a smaller set of engaged partners beats a large set of inactive ones.
The Daily Work
Recruit & Structure:
Identify, recruit, and onboard partners equipped to sell Cloud Security, Content Delivery, and Edge Compute, then structure and negotiate commercial agreements (Resell, Managed Service, Referral) that ensure mutual profitability.
Co-Sell & Grow:
Lead joint business planning to align partners' service portfolios with Fastly's roadmap, show up with the technical and sales support partners need to close deals, and manage pipeline, forecasting, and deal conflicts or pricing issues.
Enable & Co-Market:
Deliver playbooks, training, and technical certification so partner teams can confidently sell Fastly's full portfolio, and drive pipeline-generating co-marketing campaigns and events rather than just supporting them.
Minimum Qualifications
- 3-5+ years of experience in Partner Management, Channel Development, Alliance Sales, or Business Development, with direct experience in the VAR ecosystem
- 5-7 years of experience total in a GTM position in relevant industry
- Demonstrated success structuring and negotiating multi-party commercial agreements
- Proven ability to work autonomously and drive cross-functional alignment without formal authority
- Working knowledge of the modern security/edge stack (WAF, DDoS, Edge Infrastructure, serverless compute) sufficient to hold credible technical conversations
- Excellent communication and presentation skills; comfortable engaging senior stakeholders both internally and externally
Preferred Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Security, or related field
- Additional language fluency relevant to your assigned territory (e.g., Spanish for LATAM-facing territories)
- Prior experience in a "builder" or 0-to-1 channel role, standing up new partner programs or fixing broken processes
- Work Hours
- Availability during core business hours is required.
- Work Location & Travel
