Partner Marketing Manager

C1 is the first AI-native identity security platform that protects every identity: human, non-human, and AI. With powerful automation, platform-level AI, and out-of-the-box connectors, it centralizes access visibility, enforces fine-grained controls, enables just-in-time access, and automates user access reviews across all apps. It’s easy to use, quick to deploy, and trusted by enterprises like DigitalOcean, Instacart, Ramp, and Zscaler.

We're seeking a Partner Marketing Manager to enable and develop our VAR, MSP, and strategic partnership relationships. Reporting to our Senior Director of Field and Partner Marketing, you'll have a strategic seat at the table where partner go-to-market, field execution, and revenue acceleration converge.

You'll be instrumental in enabling partners to articulate how identity must evolve for the AI era, building co-marketing programs that position C1 as the platform enterprises need to safely scale AI operations. This positioning gives you unique visibility into how our marketing investments translate to pipeline and revenue, while allowing you to leverage field marketing resources and insights to amplify partner success.

• Field-Partner Integration: Collaborate with field marketing to integrate partners into regional campaigns, account-based marketing initiatives, and customer events—creating a multiplier effect for our go-to-market efforts

• Campaign Development: Design and execute co-marketing campaigns with strategic partners that demonstrate how C1 + partner solutions address the identity challenges created by AI, cloud-native architectures, and non-human identities

• Partner Enablement: Support the development of comprehensive partner marketing toolkits—including pitch decks, battle cards, solution briefs, demo scripts, and co-branded collateral—that help partners position AI-native identity management and the shift from legacy IAM to autonomous access control

• Performance Analytics: Track, analyze, and report on partner marketing program effectiveness, pipeline influence, and ROI to continuously optimize efforts
