Our Mission
At Omnea, we’re reinventing how enterprise businesses operate, starting with the most painful parts: procurement – where a single purchase can drag on for months, trigger 50+ emails, and pull in Finance, Legal, Security, and IT just to get something approved.
We’ve raised $75M from Khosla Ventures, Insight Partners, and Accel to change that. Our AI-native platform connects every person, step, and system so buying is fast, safe, and efficient – one place to request, automated approvals and renewals, real-time supplier risk, and complete spend visibility.
It's a $7B+ untapped market, and our traction reflects the scale of the opportunity: we’ve 10x’d ARR to double-digit millions in 18 months and are trusted by global enterprises like Spotify, MongoDB, Monzo, and Albertsons. We’re now the 4th fastest growing startup in Europe.
Our team previously scaled Tessian (cybersecurity tech, backed by Sequoia, Balderton, Accel, acquired post-Series C), and our team includes ex-founders operators who’ve grown unicorns, shipped world-class products, and executed at the highest levels. You’ll work alongside leaders like Ben, Abs, Sabrina, and Rebe.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a commercially sharp, highly credible Partnerships Director to build our business development motion from the ground up. Reporting directly to the CCO Abs, you’ll own the strategy and execution of our most important external relationships and turn partnerships into a repeatable, scalable source of revenue.
You’ll be joining us at a pivotal moment in our growth. We’ve seen early success with partner-led growth — particularly through private equity firms recommending Omnea to their portfolio companies — and are now scaling this into a core growth engine. In this role, you’ll build deep, revenue-generating partnerships, primarily with consulting firms and ecosystem partners, to unlock new pipeline, accelerate enterprise sales cycles, and help sellers win more deals.
You’ll own targets and be responsible for creating real commercial impact: developing joint go-to-market strategies, embedding partners into enterprise sales cycles, and building the foundations of a partnerships engine that materially accelerates pipeline, win rates, and deal velocity. You’ll operate at both a strategic and hands-on level, working closely with sales, product, and customer teams while owning outcomes end to end.
What You Can Expect
This role is highly execution-oriented, with direct ownership over building Omnea’s partnerships motion into a core growth engine:
You’ll work closely with our CCO Abs to design and execute Omnea’s partnerships motion from scratch, turning early traction into a scalable, repeatable source of revenue
You’ll identify, secure, and activate high-impact partnerships, primarily with consulting firms and technology partners serving the same enterprise buyers
You’ll be accountable for partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, helping unlock new opportunities and improve win rates across enterprise deals
You’ll work hands-on with the Sales team on live deals, positioning partners effectively and driving joint wins, then codifying what works into repeatable playbooks
You’ll build deep, trusted relationships with partners, equipping them to confidently recommend Omnea to their customers
About you
You have 6–10+ years of experience in high-performance, fast-moving environments, with the majority of your career spent in scaling startup environments (Series A–D)
You’ve got a track record of exceptional performance, whether it’s in academia, work, sport, a sales team, or whatever else you’ve put your mind to.
You’ve held a quota-carrying role and have a proven track record closing enterprise B2B deals or revenue-generating partnerships; you’re comfortable owning a target
You’re deeply commercial and outcome-oriented, able to move from relationship-building to deal execution and measurable impact
You have the gravitas and communication skills to influence senior stakeholders across consulting firms, partners, and enterprise customers
You’re intellectually sharp and able to quickly understand complex products, simplifying problems into clear next steps, deal strategy, or product feedback
You’re ambitious and competitive, thrive on responsibility, and are motivated by building something meaningful in a high-ownership environment
You perform best in environments that demand speed, accountability, and autonomy, and you care deeply about building something that lasts
