Role Overview

We're looking for a Venue Partnerships Manager to join the Events & Tradeshows team. Pointr is expanding beyond its show-by-show install model into permanent, revenue-share partnerships with the exhibition and convention centers that host its customers' trade shows. This role owns that motion end to end: identifying and closing partnerships with venue operators, then enabling those venues to sell Pointr's platform on to their own incoming shows. This is an opportunity to play a key role in expanding a category-defining technology platform globally.

What You’ll Do

• Own the full partnership lifecycle: identify, engage, structure, negotiate, and close revenue-share partnerships with convention centers, exhibition venues, and multi-venue operator groups.

• Build compelling business cases that demonstrate the value of Pointr's connected venue solutions to venue operators and event stakeholders.

• Lead commercial discussions, including pricing, contract negotiations, and partnership terms, in collaboration with Finance and Legal.

• Serve as the primary relationship owner for large, multi-stakeholder channel partners, navigating procurement, IT, legal, and executive sponsors within the partner organization.

• Enable venue partners to independently sell Pointr to their incoming trade shows - building partner collateral, training, and sales enablement materials in partnership with Marketing.

• Build and deliver concise, executive-ready presentations and business cases.

• Partner cross-functionally with Legal, Finance, Marketing, Pre-Sales, Product, and Account Management to structure deals and ensure successful venue launches.

• Build trusted relationships with senior leaders and decision-makers across venue organizations.

• Transition newly launched venues to Account Management with clear growth strategies and success plans.

What We Seek

• 6-10+ years of experience in complex B2B partnerships, business development, enterprise sales, or a related field.

• Experience selling or partnering within complex SaaS, technology, or platform-based environments.

• Proven ability to identify opportunities, build relationships, and successfully close strategic partnerships or enterprise agreements.

• Strong understanding of commercial negotiations, pricing models, and contract processes.

• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills, with the ability to engage effectively with executive stakeholders.

• Ability to collaborate across technical, commercial, and operational teams.

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.

• Professional fluency in English, both written and verbal.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with venues, events, tradeshows, hospitality, real estate, or venue technology.

• Experience managing enterprise customers or complex implementation projects.

• Familiarity with CRM, customer success, or project management platforms such as Monday or Jira.

• Bachelor's degree in business, technology, or a related field (or equivalent professional experience).

What We Offer

• A supportive, kind (no-ego), and smart team

• International environment and inclusive culture

• Competitive base salary and attractive stock options

• Private health care (75%) and Dental

• Company-sponsored parental leave

• 18 days PTO, plus sick time + 12 holidays per year
