Role Overview

At Astra Security, we are building the future of cybersecurity with Autonomous Pentesting — helping teams continuously discover, validate, and fix vulnerabilities across their applications and infrastructure.

We are looking for a Product Partnerships leader to build and scale Astra's ecosystem of technology partners across cybersecurity, SaaS, cloud, developer tools, compliance, and adjacent platforms.

This is a high-impact, commercially focused role where you will identify the right technology partners, unlock product integrations and marketplace opportunities, and build joint go-to-market motions that translate into measurable pipeline and revenue.

You will work closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to take partnerships from identification and negotiation through integration, launch, co-selling, and revenue generation.

What You'll Do

Build Astra's Product Partner Ecosystem

• Identify and establish partnerships with complementary SaaS, cybersecurity, cloud, developer, compliance, and technology platforms across key geographies.
• Build relationships with Product, Partnerships, Alliances, and GTM leaders within partner organizations.
• Develop a structured partner pipeline based on customer overlap, product fit, integration potential, and commercial opportunity.
• Own the end-to-end partnership lifecycle from prospecting and business case development to negotiation, launch, and ongoing growth.
• Build a scalable product partnership strategy across different geographies and partner segments.

Drive Product Integrations & Marketplace Partnerships

• Identify high-value integration opportunities that strengthen Astra's product offering and increase customer adoption.
• Work closely with Product and Engineering to define integration requirements, priorities, and launch plans.
• Build partnerships that enable Astra to participate in technology marketplaces and partner platforms.
• Drive marketplace and platform-sourced business by creating repeatable partner-led acquisition motions.
• Track adoption, pipeline, and revenue generated through product integrations and technology partnerships.

Build Joint GTM & Co-Sell Motions

• Develop joint value propositions, solution positioning, sales plays, and enablement with strategic partners.
• Work with Sales teams to identify and activate joint customer opportunities.
• Build co-selling and co-marketing motions that generate measurable partner-influenced pipeline.
• Coordinate joint launches, webinars, campaigns, events, and other GTM initiatives where relevant.
• Establish processes to track partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline through the sales funnel.

Drive Commercial Outcomes

• Directly own business outcomes from product partnerships, including partner-sourced ARR and partner-influenced pipeline.
• Identify opportunities to expand successful partnerships across additional products, customer segments, and geographies.
• Establish clear business cases and success metrics for each strategic partnership.
• Regularly measure partnership performance and double down on partnerships demonstrating strong customer and commercial impact.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Act as the internal owner and champion for strategic product partnerships.
• Partner closely with Product, Engineering, Sales, Marketing, and Customer Success to ensure partner initiatives move from concept to execution.
• Bring partner and customer feedback into Astra's product and ecosystem roadmap.
• Create repeatable processes for evaluating, launching, and scaling partnerships.

Key KPIs

Success in this role will be measured through tangible commercial and ecosystem outcomes, including:

• Marketplace / Platform-Sourced ARR
• Co-Sell / Co-GTM Pipeline Generated
• Number of Product Partnerships Unlocked in Each Target Geography
• Product integrations launched and activated
• Partner-sourced / partner-influenced revenue
• Partner activation and adoption
• Expansion of successful partnerships across products and geographies

What We're Looking For

• Experience in Product Partnerships, Technology Partnerships, Strategic Partnerships, Ecosystem Partnerships, or Platform Partnerships.
• Strong experience in B2B SaaS, preferably cybersecurity or an adjacent technology category.
• Demonstrated experience building partnerships with technology products and SaaS platforms, rather than primarily reseller or channel relationships.
• Experience taking partnerships from identification → integration → marketplace / platform launch → joint GTM → revenue generation.
• Strong understanding of product integrations, APIs, marketplaces, technology ecosystems, and joint solution development.
• Demonstrated ability to build co-sell and co-GTM motions with sales teams.
• Strong commercial acumen with experience tying partnerships to measurable pipeline, ARR, adoption, or revenue outcomes.
• Experience working with US or global SaaS companies is highly preferred.
• Strong executive communication, negotiation, and relationship management skills.
• Builder mindset with the ability to operate in a zero-to-one environment, create processes from scratch, and independently drive initiatives to completion.
