Head of Partnerships

We’re seeking our first ever Head of Partnerships to join Synthesia and our mission of making video accessible for all. Using your wealth of experience scoping, implementing, and winning Partnerships, you will become responsible for how this will ultimately drive revenue at Synthesia. The way we consume information has changed - up to 80% of the web’s traffic is video - but the way we create corporate content is stuck in the 80’s. Video drives meaningfully higher engagement and retention than text yet has been overly expensive and time consuming historically. Integrating and partnering Synthesia with the world’s leading brands will make the creation, use and sharing of video easier, which will have a direct impact on information retention and action. 

We already work with ~60 of the Fortune 100 - across myriad use cases - e-commerce, training, chat deflection, et al. No-one has built an AI Video partnerships program before - we are defining a new category - so we need someone who has worked across partner types to create a category in a rapidly scaling environment.

What you will do

• Develop and implement a comprehensive Partnership strategy that will increase Sales win-rates in the funnel via direct and indirect agreements, increasing product usage.
• Help us define the hypotheses we want to test, then map out the universe of partnerships over our existing Sales + Success (prospects & customers) framework
• Develop a short term and long term strategy
• Identify new partners and set up collaboration with them to increase Synthesia’s impact in the market
• Create and refine a scalable Partnerships playbook that covers pricing, partnership scoping, technical engagement, and objection handling
