Gsi Partnership Lead

Supabase Supabase · Data AI · AMER · Growth

This role is responsible for launching and leading Supabase's solutions partner program from scratch. The lead will define the program, recruit partners, and build the operational framework for scaling. Key responsibilities include defining partner profiles, commercial models, legal frameworks, and building operational systems. The role also involves recruiting and onboarding strategic partners, developing go-to-market strategies, and eventually hiring and leading a team to scale the program. The ideal candidate has prior experience building solutions partner programs, is commercially sharp, operationally rigorous, and a builder.

What you'd actually do

  1. Define what a Supabase solutions partner _is_: ideal partner profile, tiering structure, commercial model (referral, co-sell, resell where it makes sense), and the value exchange in both directions.
  2. Build the program framework: requirements for entry, certification expectations, benefits at each tier, and how partners progress.
  3. Land the legal and commercial frameworks alongside our in-house counsel — partner agreements, referral terms, co-sell rules of engagement.
  4. Personally recruit and close the first 10–20 strategic partners — the ones whose success will define what the program looks like.
  5. Own the number — partner-sourced revenue, partner-influenced revenue, and the leading indicators that get us there.
