Join us in our mission to help companies make smarter pay decisions they can trust! 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.
