Who You Are

Ema is hiring a Cloud Partner Manager to lead our GTM partnerships with major cloud hyperscalers, with Microsoft (primary focus) and Google being key. We are a partner-led GTM company, so you will be an instrumental part of our growth trajectory.

We're looking for a seasoned professional with deep experience in working within hyperscaler partner ecosystems, particularly Microsoft Azure building relationships across all levels, developing and owning a joint business plan, enabling partners' sales and technical teams, and activating GTM motion with large Tier-1 partners targeting Fortune 500 enterprises. Proven experience navigating Microsoft's partner programs (e.g., Azure Marketplace, Co-sell, ISV Success) is essential. You should have a track record of enabling large partner teams on Enterprise SaaS or AI-driven solutions and driving significant revenue through partnerships.

You understand that great partnerships don't just drive revenue they unlock new capabilities and customer value. You thrive at the intersection of strategy and execution and are energized by shaping a new category of enterprise software.
