Business Development & Partnerships
TLDR
Build the partnerships function at Resend from the ground up by sourcing and closing integration partnerships while fostering relationships with cloud providers and developer platforms.
Resend is growing fast, and so is the complexity of our deals. The next phase of growth comes through deepening those relationships and building new ones. Integration partnerships with developer platforms, co-sell motions with cloud providers, referral and reseller programs, OEM deals where Resend is bundled into another product.
Nobody owns this at Resend today. We need someone to build the partnerships function from zero. Source partners, structure deals, get agreements signed, and make sure integrations actually ship.
