Job Description

We’re on a mission to provide equitable access to economic opportunity, for everyone.

We close critical skill gaps in the workforce through a new kind of apprenticeship that combines work and learning. We begin by recognizing high-potential individuals both inside and outside of a company's current workforce and then we create applied, guided and equitable learning programs, with measurable impact. Because we believe the world needs a better way to match its potential.

We work with over 1,500 leading companies including the likes of Microsoft, Citi and Just Eat to help solve their business-critical problems, and we’ve trained over 16,000 professional apprentices in the tech and data skills of the future. This is made possible by our global team who are driven to achieve a mission that matters, together.

Join Multiverse and help us set a new course for work.

The Opportunity

  • Manage existing partner relationships and expand them over time, working closely with AEs and CSMs to drive revenue for Multiverse whilst optimising value to both partners and customers

  • Build seamless partner and customer experiences through cross-functional collaboration with Sales, Marketing Data & Insights, Product & Engineering, and Learning

  • Create a B2B partner ecosystem that balances Multiverse's business needs across go-to-market functions, platform capabilities, market trends, and partner feedback

  • Work with a world-class go-to-market team that helped the business achieve a valuation of $1.7b Series D

To be a successful candidate...

  • Strategic and scrappy - you will be excited to work on challenging problems in a fast-paced environment, and generate new ideas that contribute to Multiverse's rocket-ship growth

  • Track record in building strategic partnerships - demonstrated 4+ years of experience building and growing channel partnerships (ideally with ISVs), identifying and prioritising partnership opportunities, working with cross-functional stakeholders across your organisation and partner organisations to stand up partnerships

  • Collaborative communicator and stakeholder - whether managing a team or working with internal stakeholders and external partners, you can influence others, communicate clearly, and build followership

  • Great teammate - you will be a world class collaborator with internal and external partners, and will evangelise Multiverse's mission in your work

  • Strong analytical and critical thinking skills - you can analyse large sets of data, identify trends, and provide evidence-based recommendations
