may be negotiated based on experience level Reporting directly to our CEO, this is a rare opportunity to build Ketryx’s partner ecosystem from the ground up. As our first Channel Partnerships Director, you’ll design and own a partner-led growth engine that drives revenue, trust, and long-term market expansion. You’ll create and operationalize programs that bring together two powerful channels: enterprise technology platforms like Atlassian and Siemens, and boutique consulting firms in regulatory, quality, and cybersecurity.

You won’t be inheriting a bloated, outdated partner model—you’ll craft the blueprint yourself, with full executive support and visibility. You’ll work at the intersection of commercial strategy, AI, and category creation, enabling new routes to market for a platform that’s already trusted by three of the top five global MedTech companies. If you’ve ever wanted to build something career-defining—and watch it scale across industries that quite literally impact lives—this is the role.

S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of employment Visas (including H-1B), F-1 visas, or Optional Practical Training (OPT) status at this time. About you You’re a strategic operator who’s managed multiple types of partnerships, including enterprise tech alliances, and now you’re ready to own the full build of a partner program from the ground up.

Cultivating strong relationships with key stakeholders across partner organizations, from frontline consultants to senior executives, to drive alignment and influence is in your DNA. You love crafting structure where none exists: defining partner tiers, building incentive models, and crafting joint GTM motions that result in pipeline. You thrive in high-trust, high-autonomy environments, and you’re excited to work shoulder to shoulder with the CEO and executive team to launch something category-defining and build the system that helps Ketryx define the next frontier in validated AI for regulated industries.
