Head of Partnerships

I'm currently partnering with a global SaaS powerhouse in the HR and employment law space to appoint a commercially driven Head of Partnerships!

This is a high-impact, board-facing role, central to an ambitious international growth strategy. If you thrive on building strategic alliances, influencing at senior level, and driving revenue through partnerships, this could be your next big move.

Their technology-led platforms empower businesses with expert advice, smart software, and practical tools that make managing people simpler and safer. The brand is scaling rapidly, investing heavily in innovation, and expanding its partner ecosystem as a key growth channel.

Reporting directly to senior leadership, you will take ownership of the partnerships strategy - growing existing alliances while securing new high-value national agreements.

This is not a maintenance role. It's about commercial growth, strategic influence, and revenue impact
