Sr. Manager, Channel Partners

About the role

Doppler is a developer-first secrets management platform that enables engineers and security teams to securely store their secrets across any cloud infrastructure or deployment environment at scale. We're looking for a highly strategic and hands-on channel partnerships leader to build and scale Doppler's partner ecosystem. This is not a "head of partnerships" role focused only on top-level strategy. We need someone who can roll up their sleeves, stand up the program from the ground up, recruit the right partners, build repeatable motions, and help drive revenue through channel and services relationships. This person should bring strong existing relationships across the security, DevOps, cloud, infrastructure, and developer tooling ecosystem, especially with partners that influence secrets management, identity, cloud security, platform engineering, and developer workflows. The ideal candidate knows how to identify the right types of partners, structure partnerships that are commercially viable, and turn those relationships into sourced pipeline, implementation services, and long-term revenue. You will work cross-functionally with sales, solutions engineering, customer success, legal, marketing, and leadership to define partner strategy, recruit and onboard partners, build the partner program, and help partners successfully position and deliver Doppler. This role pays $190,000 - $210,000 OTE Doppler's GTM team is a small, high-impact group focused on helping customers modernize secrets management and adopt secure, scalable workflows across engineering and security teams. We work closely across solutions engineering, customer success, product, and leadership to drive revenue and support customer success. Our sales org operates with strong process discipline, MEDDPICC is formally trained and used in deal reviews, CRM hygiene is expected, and performance is closely tracked. The team is small enough that every individual's contribution is visible and impactful, and we work with low ego while constantly improving how we engage with customers and partners.
