Partner Manager, Alliances

Legora Legora · Vertical AI · New York, NY · Growth

This role is for a Partner Manager at an AI-native legal tech company. The primary responsibility is to build and manage relationships with global and regional consulting and SI partners, developing joint go-to-market plans, driving partner enablement, and tracking revenue. While the company is AI-native and the product uses AI, this role focuses on partnerships and sales motions, not direct AI/ML development or research.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own strategic relationships with a portfolio of global and regional consulting and SI partners, building trusted relationships from practice leads to alliance executives.
  2. Develop and execute joint go-to-market plans with each partner, including account mapping, pipeline generation, and co-sell motions with Legora's sales team.
  3. Work with partners to define how they position, sell, and deliver Legora to their clients - and make sure they have what they need to do it well.
  4. Drive partner enablement, keeping firms current as Legora's product evolves.
  5. Track pipeline health, run business reviews, and report on partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue.
