Channel Partner Manager, Canada

The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.

About the Role

As the founding Channel Partner Manager for Canada, you will build the partner motion that helps Canadian businesses discover, evaluate, and adopt Ramp through trusted advisors and ecosystem partners.

This is a zero-to-one role. You will own the full partner lifecycle, from identifying and engaging Canadian accounting, advisory, private equity, and venture capital partners through signing, enablement, activation, and partner-sourced pipeline. Your early results will help determine how Ramp scales its Canadian channel motion.

You will work closely with Sales, Growth, Product, Engineering, and the broader Partnerships organization. The right person is a hands-on builder: equally comfortable opening a new relationship, running a partner meeting, solving an operational blocker, and turning early learnings into a repeatable playbook.

• Research, identify, source, qualify and sign net-new Canadian partners.

• Create joint go-to-market and activation plans to grow the Canadian partner ecosystem.

• Partner with Product to surface recurring partner needs and inform the Canadian roadmap.
