Partner Development Director

<p>Clozd is the leader in <strong>Decision Intelligence</strong>—helping companies uncover the truth by capturing direct feedback throughout the customer journey.</p> <p><br aria-hidden="true">We believe most revenue organizations are operating without the full picture.

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.</p> <p>You will be responsible for creating a <strong>partner-led growth engine</strong> where Clozd is:</p> <ul> <li> <p>Specified by advisors</p> </li> <li> <p>Integrated into platforms</p> </li> <li> <p>Embedded into transformation initiatives</p> </li> </ul> <p>Your mandate is to help Clozd become:</p> <p><strong>A standard part of how modern revenue organizations operate — and partners are how you get there.
