Senior Partner Manager, APAC

At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search, empowering 18,000+ businesses to deliver blazing-fast, predictive search and browse experiences at internet scale. Every week, we power over 30 billion search requests.

As the Senior Partner Manager for APAC, you will own and execute Algolia's partner strategy across the region, with a priority focus on Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and South East Asia. This is a technical partnership role: you'll work with consulting partners, systems integrators, technology partners and cloud partners to embed Algolia into new multi-technology solutions.

This is not a solutions engineering role — you won't be architecting or implementing client solutions. But it is a solutions-focused role: you need real technical fluency, and the ability to inspire partners and customers on the art of the possible with Algolia.

In practice, that means identifying and shaping three kinds of agentic solutions:

• Those that combine Algolia with one or more of our technology partners;
• Those built by our consulting partners and brought to market by them;
• Those built jointly with technology partners around a shared value proposition that delivers real value to customers and end users.

Pipeline development, opportunity progression and customer wins all matter — but they all start with getting the innovation right, with Algolia at the center of it.

Reporting to the Head of Global Partnerships, and working in close collaboration with the General Manager of APAC, you will develop and execute the regional partner strategy — deciding which consulting, systems integration, technology and cloud partners to prioritize, and building the technical and commercial motions that turn those relationships into pipeline and revenue.

Your role will consist of:

• Developing and executing Algolia's partner strategy across APAC, with priority focus on Australia, New Zealand, Singapore and South East Asia.
• Building and managing a portfolio of consulting partners, systems integrators, technology partners and cloud partners (e.g., AWS, Microsoft Azure) across the region.
• Identifying, recruiting and onboarding new partners into the Algolia Partner Program, with particular attention to partners building agentic and AI-driven solutions.
• Shaping and championing agentic solutions that combine Algolia with one or more of our technology partners.
• Working with consulting partners to help them build their own agentic solutions on Algolia and bring those solutions to market.
• Developing joint value propositions with technology partners for agentic solutions that deliver real value to customers and end users.
• Acting as a solutions-focused innovator who can inspire partners and customers on the art of the possible with Algolia.
• Developing a working technical understanding of partner architectures and solutions deep enough to guide partners on where and how Algolia fits — without owning implementation.
• Enabling partners on Algolia's product and technical capabilities so they can position, sell and deliver successfully.
• Owning deal registration, pursuit prioritization and account mapping across the partner portfolio.
• Coordinating go-to-market strategy with partners, including joint marketing, co-selling and technical enablement content.
• Coordinating across partners, internal sales and solutions engineering teams on strategic client pursuits.
• Collaborating closely with the APAC General Manager and regional sales leadership to align partner strategy with revenue goals.
• Collaborating with Algolia Sales, Marketing, Engineering, Product and Enablement teams to ensure partner and end client success.
• Owning pipeline creation and data accuracy for the APAC partner portfolio, with reporting to the Head of Global Partnerships.
