Technical Channel Partner Manager | Isv

Ramp Ramp · Fintech · New York, NY · Sales

This role focuses on building and scaling Ramp's partner ecosystem by architecting and managing integrations with third-party platforms (ISVs, embedded finance partners). The Technical Channel Partnerships Manager will drive revenue through co-build and co-sell agreements, acting as a bridge between external partner engineering teams and Ramp's internal product and engineering teams. Key responsibilities include defining integration success metrics, identifying and architecting around technical constraints, and influencing partner roadmaps.

What you'd actually do

  1. Architect end-to-end partner integrations using Ramp's developer platform — including APIs, webhooks, authentication flows, embedded finance primitives, and workflow automation
  2. Pitch, negotiate, and close co-build and co-sell agreements with third-party platforms, ISVs, and strategic partners
  3. Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, sales, solutions, legal, and GTM teams to design robust, scalable partnership strategies
  4. Define integration success metrics (adoption, usage, retention, partner-driven revenue) and be accountable for delivering against them
  5. Manage partner relationships and act as the bridge between external partner engineering teams and internal Ramp teams — clarifying data flows, responsibilities, timelines, and deliverables
