Partnership Success Manager

About Candidly

Candidly is the embedded recruitment infrastructure layer inside HR platforms, workforce management systems, and job boards globally. Our partners embed Candidly into their product as their own branded hiring solution, and their customers use it to hire without leaving the platform they already know.

We’re a founder-led business at an inflection point. Our partners are seeing meaningful new business growth as a direct result of embedding Candidly, and we’re expanding into new geographies and verticals. We’re looking for a Partnership Success Manager to own the ongoing success of these partnerships.

The role

This is a hybrid partnership success, activation and marketing enablement role. You’ll own the day-to-day relationship with our partners after they’ve signed and gone live — making sure their customers activate, their sales teams sell Candidly confidently, and their marketing programmes drive real adoption.

You’ll be the primary point of contact for a portfolio of partner accounts, working closely with our co-founders and directly with our partners’ product, sales, marketing and customer success teams.

What you’ll do

Partner activation and adoption

• Own the post-signature journey for a portfolio of partner accounts — from integration through to ongoing customer adoption
• Drive attach rates by working with partner sales teams to embed Candidly into their sales motion
• Track partner performance against attach and adoption targets, spot at-risk accounts early, and build plans to unblock them
• Be the go-to person for partner requests — responding quickly, proactively surfacing opportunities, and building genuine trust with partner teams

Marketing enablement and campaigns

• Work with partners to design and execute joint marketing programmes — webinars, in-person events, co-branded content, sales enablement material
• Build the collateral, sales scripts, and battle cards partner sales teams need to sell Candidly effectively
• Use partner customer data to identify high-intent segments and build targeted campaigns that drive activation
• Run experiments across partner campaigns and share what works across the wider partner base

Insight and voice of partner

• Bring partner and end-customer feedback into our product roadmap, pricing decisions, and commercial strategy
• Build clear reporting on partner health, adoption trends, and campaign performance
• Identify expansion opportunities within existing partner accounts

What we’re looking for

• 3-6 years in a customer success, partnership success, channel management or account management role — ideally in B2B SaaS, HR-tech, or a platform business
• Real experience running joint marketing programmes with partners or customers — events, webinars, co-branded campaigns, sales enablement
• Comfortable working with data — able to pull insights from partner performance data and turn them into targeted campaigns
• Genuinely commercial mindset — you understand that partnership success means partner revenue growth, not just partner happiness
• Excellent written and verbal communication — you’ll be building relationships with senior partner stakeholders including CEOs, CPOs and Heads of Sales
• Self-directed and proactive — this is a small team, so you’ll need to spot opportunities and drive them without waiting for direction
• Bonus points for experience with HR platforms, workforce management platforms, job boards, or the recruitment industry

What you’ll get

• Competitive salary and meaningful equity in a fast-growing business
• Direct ownership of relationships with some of the largest HR and workforce management platforms globally
• Real seat at the table — you’ll work directly with founders and shape how the partnership function is built as we scale
• Remote-first working with regular team days
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays
