Scaled Partner Manager Consultants & Agencies

Notion Notion · Enterprise · San Francisco, CA · Sales

This role is focused on building and scaling a partner ecosystem for Notion, specifically for consultants and agencies who build workflows and implementations on top of Notion. The primary goal is to create scalable systems, incentives, and self-serve experiences to enable thousands of partners globally. While Notion has AI built-in, this role is not directly building AI models but rather managing and scaling the services layer that leverages Notion's capabilities, including its AI features. The role requires a strong operational and systems mindset to drive partner activation, quality, and expansion, with a focus on productizing services and creating repeatable motions.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the partner journey end-to-end: recruit → onboard → activate → deliver → grow.
  2. Identify the highest-leverage points in that funnel and build the systems to improve them (tooling, playbooks, comms, incentives, QA).
  3. Reduce dependence on 1:1 partner management by designing self-serve pathways that still protect customer outcomes.
  4. Apply a product-and-systems mindset to partnership building: instrumentation, lifecycle automation, segmentation, experimentation.
  5. Define what “great delivery” looks like for consultant-led customer work (standards, guardrails, feedback loops).

Nice to have

  • Experience with services ecosystems (consultants, agencies, SIs) and how services businesses productize delivery.
  • Comfort designing lifecycle funnels and operating cadences (activation, retention, segmentation, comms).
