Director, Channel and Marketplace Strategy

About Us:

Openprise is an AI and automation platform that unifies your data silos, orchestrates your processes, and consolidates your point solutions so your Ops team can build smarter GTM data ― your data, your way, on your timeline.  We are the pioneers in delivering the first end-to-end data automation cloud for RevOps, making data management and automation simple for the growing organization that is Revenue Operations! We're on a mission to redefine how businesses harness data to supercharge their marketing and sales efforts.

The Role:

The Director of Channel & Marketplace Strategy will own the creation, expansion, and operational success of the company’s partner ecosystem and marketplace presence. 

This role is responsible for building a scalable channel program that enables SalesOps, MarketingOps, and RevOps agencies to find, position, and sell our RevOps Automation solutions—while also driving distribution and revenue through AWS, Adobe, and Salesforce (SFDC) marketplaces.

This leader will define the partner GTM motion, recruit and activate agencies, build enablement and certification programs, and ensure partners can successfully source, co-sell, and deliver value to customers. In parallel, they will lead marketplace strategy and execution, including listings, packaging, compliance, deal registration, and co-sell alignment.

This role sits at the intersection of ecosystem, distribution, and revenue acceleration. The Director of Channel & Marketplace Strategy will directly shape how the company scales beyond direct sales—turning agencies and marketplaces into durable, repeatable growth engines.

The role manages a small but high-impact team (1 direct report) and works cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, Legal, Finance, and RevOps to create a repeatable, revenue-producing ecosystem
