Strategic Partnership Manager

Lovable Lovable · Coding AI · San Francisco, CA · Sales

Lovable is seeking a Strategic Partner Manager with 6+ years of experience in technology partnerships or business development at a SaaS or developer-tools company. The role involves owning end-to-end technology partnerships, defining joint go-to-market strategies, negotiating terms, and influencing the product roadmap with partner insights. The ideal candidate is technically curious, data-driven, and has experience with major cloud provider partner programs or AI-native products.

What you'd actually do

  1. Own the end-to-end relationship for a named portfolio of technology partners — from onboarding through growth and renewal — as their primary point of contact at Lovable.
  2. Identify and shape joint GTM opportunities — co-marketing, co-sell motions, integration milestones — and partner closely with Lovable's marketing team to execute them.
  3. Run regular business reviews and maintain executive-level relationships at partner organizations, including negotiating partnership scopes and terms with legal and finance.
  4. Be the internal voice of your partners — surfacing product feedback, blockers, and opportunities to Lovable's product and engineering teams to directly influence the roadmap.
  5. Track performance against clear KPIs (adoption, pipeline influenced, integration depth, revenue) and use that data to prioritize your time and your partners'.
