Partner Development Director

Clozd is the leader in Decision Intelligence—helping companies uncover the truth by capturing direct feedback throughout the customer journey.

We believe most revenue organizations are operating without the full picture. CRM and call data only tell part of the story. Clozd delivers the missing truth layer—giving executives the insights they need to improve win rates, retention, and growth.

We need team members who can tackle ambiguity, solve complex problems, and delight customers. We hire dynamic employees who take initiative, find ways to simplify and scale, possess strong interpersonal and communication skills, value humility and learning, crave a fast-paced startup environment and never compromise their integrity.

We are hiring a Partner Development Director to build and scale a strategic partnerships function that positions Clozd as an embedded infrastructure layer across the go-to-market ecosystem.

This is not a traditional channel role. You won't just be managing referral agreements or running partner newsletters. You'll be sitting across from consultants, advisors, and operating partners — convincing them that Clozd belongs in every engagement they run.

You will be responsible for creating a partner-led growth engine where Clozd is:

• Specified by advisors

• Integrated into platforms

• Embedded into transformation initiatives

Your mandate is to help Clozd become:

A standard part of how modern revenue organizations operate — and partners are how you get there. By embedding Clozd into the work of consultants, advisors, and technology platforms, you'll build a growth engine that scales beyond what a direct sales team alone can do.
