Responsibilities

Proactive Partner Acquisition & Outbound: Drive outbound prospecting (cold calling, personalized email campaigns, and networking) to identify and engage high-potential partners-marketing agencies, web development shops, software houses, and consultancies-while effectively qualifying inbound inquiries.
Structured Sourcing & Pipeline Management: Build and implement a systematic, process-driven approach to sourcing partners, managing deals end-to-end, and closing win-win commercial agreements aligned with company guidelines.
Partner Enablement & Activation: Provide partners with the onboarding, training, product knowledge, and resources necessary to successfully pitch digital accessibility and maximize referral flow.
Relationship Building & Brand Representation: Act as the trusted internal point of reference for our partner network, delivering a top-tier partner experience and nurturing long-term commercial loyalty.
Internal Synergy & CRM Discipline: Work in close synergy with sales leadership, marketing, and operations, maintaining accurate pipeline tracking and partner data in the CRM.
Market Trends & Ecosystem Knowledge: Stay continuously updated on the European Accessibility Act (EAA), regional regulations (e.g., BFSG in Germany), and digital agency trends across DACH to position Accessiway as the go-to accessibility partner.

Requirements

Proven DACH Track Record: Experience in the DACH market building agency partnerships (web, marketing, software, or IT consulting)-with the playbook and network of an experienced Partnership or Channel Manager.
Hunter & New-Business Mindset: Energized by opening new doors, booking cold meetings, and building a channel from scratch, not just nurturing inbound accounts.
Commercial Acumen & Negotiation: Strong business instincts, contract negotiation skills, and a proven ability to close commercial agreements.
High Emotional Intelligence & Communication: Exceptional interpersonal skills; you know how to build rapport quickly, navigate complex partner discussions, and communicate with clarity and empathy.
Languages: Full professional proficiency in German (native or C1/C2) and fluent English are required.
Autonomy & Organization: High degree of self-direction, time management, and proactive problem-solving in a fast-paced scale-up environment.

Nice to Have

Prior experience selling B2B SaaS solutions or digital agency services.
An active network within the DACH agency and digital consulting ecosystem.
An authentic interest in digital accessibility (WCAG / BFSG / EAA), diversity, and social impact.
