Job Description:

As Head of Partnerships, you will lead Descript’s ecosystem strategy, forging and scaling relationships that drive distribution, unlock commercial opportunities, and enhance our product capabilities through integrations. This is a highly cross-functional, product-oriented partnerships role that blends business development, product strategy, and co-marketing. You will own the end-to-end partnerships strategy—from identifying high-potential opportunities, to structuring agreements, to ensuring ongoing success and adoption.

Job Responsibility:

Define and execute Descript’s partnerships roadmap across distribution, integrations, bundling opportunities
Identify long-range strategic opportunities with emerging players in AI, generative media, creator ecosystems, and adjacent markets
Own executive-level relationships with strategic partners, including AI platforms, content networks, and technology providers
Expand Descript’s reach through integration-driven distribution (e.g., embedding Descript in content platforms, LMS, and creator tools)
Lead go-to-market motions with partners to drive ARR, including headless API and platform integrations
Build scalable frameworks for identifying, evaluating, and closing new ARR-generating partners
Drive joint campaigns, launches, and partner-led events to create visibility and awareness for Descript
Collaborate with marketing to amplify integrations and partnership wins across channels
Collaborate with Product and Engineering to identify and deliver integrations that close feature gaps and improve user experience
Ensure integrations create clear, differentiated value for Descript’s users while deepening product stickiness
Partner with technical and product teams on go-to-market for new integrations
Build and maintain trusted, long-term relationships with partner executives and decision-makers
Ensure ongoing alignment and momentum across multiple active partnerships

Requirements:

8+ years in partnerships, ecosystem development, or business development at a high-growth SaaS, AI, or media technology company
Proven success building integration- and distribution-driven partnerships that accelerate growth and strengthen product experience
Deep technical and product intuition
comfortable working closely with product managers and engineers
Strong knowledge of generative AI, media, or creator ecosystems
Existing industry relationships a plus
Equally skilled at setting partnership strategy and executing deals from sourcing to launch
Works seamlessly across product, engineering, marketing, and executive teams
Experienced in partnerships rather than direct quota-carrying sales roles

Nice to have:

Existing industry relationships a plus

What we offer:

Generous healthcare package
401k matching program
Catered lunches
Flexible vacation time
