The Role

Syndio's partner ecosystem is a core growth driver, and the relationships we've built with strategic partners require dedicated marketing investment to realize their full potential. We're hiring a Strategic Partner Marketing Manager to own the co-marketing function across our strategic partner portfolio.

This role sits within the product marketing function and operates cross-functionally across the broader marketing team. You'll be the primary marketing liaison between Syndio and our partners, ensuring that our joint value story is clear, our messaging is consistent and accurate, and that co-branded programs are built to drive real pipeline.

This role operates in two modes: ongoing co-marketing management — marketplace upkeep, accuracy audits, asset refreshes — across the full partner portfolio, and periodic launch-style pushes (marketplace listings, seller enablement, launch events) for partnerships at that stage.

This is a builder role. You'll extend existing partner programs and create new ones where nothing exists yet, working directly with senior stakeholders on both sides, and setting the standard for how Syndio approaches partner marketing at scale.

Our partner portfolio spans different categories of platforms — HR and workforce systems, communication and collaboration tools, and others — each with its own language, buyer, and marketplace dynamics. You'll need to adapt the value story and asset approach to fit each one.

What You'll Do

Serve as the primary marketing liaison to strategic partners

Own the day-to-day marketing relationship with Syndio's strategic partner portfolio

Build trusted working relationships with counterpart marketing contacts at each partner organization

Represent Syndio marketing in partner planning calls, quarterly business reviews, and co-marketing syncs

Bring executive presence to senior-stakeholder settings — comfortable representing Syndio one-on-one with senior leaders at partner organizations, without needing Syndio leadership in the room

Coordinate across multiple external stakeholders when programs involve more than one partner organization at once

Own partner program navigation

Understand each partner's program structure and stage — enrollment, certification/build status, GA — and calibrate marketing claims and asset readiness accordingly, so we never market a partnership ahead of where it actually stands

For partnerships that follow a full launch motion (marketplace listing, seller enablement, launch event, periodic refresh), lead that process end to end as a bounded project

Build and maintain a shared source of truth

Develop and manage a co-marketing hub that gives both Syndio and partner teams a single place for joint messaging, approved assets, and campaign materials

Ensure messaging across all partner-facing materials accurately reflects Syndio's product capabilities and current positioning

Establish a lightweight review and approval process with Product Marketing as final sign-off, so partner content stays current and on-brand as our product and positioning evolve

Apply Syndio's platform narrative and brand system (visual identity, tone, messaging architecture) consistently across all co-branded materials

Drive co-branded content and campaign execution

Own the creation of co-branded assets including one-pagers, solution briefs, landing pages, and sales enablement materials

Distill complex, joint value propositions into sharp, sales-ready soundbites (1–2 sentences) that land with partner reps who don't live inside Syndio's product positioning day-to-day

Partner with the content and communications team to develop joint thought leadership, blog content, and co-authored reports

Collaborate with revenue marketing on co-branded event support, including field event activation, sponsored sessions, and joint webinars

Support revenue impact

Work with Syndio's revenue marketing team and partner ops to identify joint customer overlap and design-partner opportunities, ensuring co-sell programs are supported with the right asset stack at each funnel stage

Coordinate joint GTM plays and outbound sequences that activate partner audiences
