About The Position

As a Senior Partner Marketing Manager at AvidXchange, you will own the strategy, execution, and day-to-day performance of top strategic channel partnerships — driving joint go-to-market programs that generate pipeline, accelerate sales cycles, and grow partner-sourced revenue. This is a fast-paced, deadline-driven role that demands equal parts strategic thinking and executional precision. You will manage multiple partners and programs simultaneously, operate against clearly defined quarterly quotas, and be accountable for keeping every initiative on pace — from campaign send dates and event deadlines to referral tracking and opportunity creation. You'll work cross-functionally every day with Sales, Channel Management, BDR, Product Marketing, RevOps, Marketing Ops, Digital, and Creative — and you'll need to show up to each of those relationships with clarity, follow-through, and a bias toward action. You will also serve as a credible, prepared voice to executive leadership on partner performance, pipeline contribution, and forward strategy.
