We see things differently than our competitors, and we make our mark in the industry by challenging the norm and delivering the unexpected and improbable. We’re a fast-growing company taking the Cloud Storage industry by storm and recognized as one of the best places to work in Boston. \nWasabi hot cloud storage is a new class and category of cloud storage, breaking all traditional barriers and boundaries of storage with a disruptive value proposition of being 1/5th the cost of AWS S3, faster than the competition, with no fees for egress or API requests. Cloud storage has never been so simple, so fast and so inexpensive. It’s all part of our vision to make cloud storage the next great global utility, just like electricity.\nAbout the Role \nWasabi is building out its AI story with our technology alliance partners, and we're looking for a senior, seasoned Partner Activation Manager to own the content and enablement strategy that brings it to market. This is a hybrid strategy-and-execution role: half the job is working with alliance partners to shape a compelling, differentiated joint narrative around AI; the other half is turning that narrative into content and tools that our Channel Account Managers (CAMs) and partner-facing teams can actually use to sell it. \nThis is a build-it-yourself role in a fast-moving, still-forming space. AI is a new and evolving category for Wasabi and our alliance partners, there isn't an established playbook to follow. We need someone who's energized and passionate about building something new, who can bring structure to ambiguity, make judgment calls without waiting for perfect information, and move at the pace the market is moving. \nYou'll sit inside the Alliances org, working as the activation counterpart to our Alliance Managers who own the partner relationship, the business plan, and executive alignment; you own bringing the joint solution to life through content, education, and demand generation. \nJob Responsibilities: \nStory & Content Development \nPartner with our alliance partners to define a clear, differentiated joint value proposition and narrative \nTranslate technical joint-solution capabilities into positioning, messaging, and content that resonates with partners, sellers, and customers \nBuild co-branded content assets (solution briefs, pitch decks, battlecards, case studies, demo scripts) in partnership with product marketing and the alliance partner's own marketing team \nEnablement Strategy & Execution \nDesign and own the enablement strategy that gets AI content into the hands of CAMs and the broader channel - training sessions, playbooks, certifications, and self-service resources \nIdentify and manage the right distribution channels for content (partner portals, enablement platforms, CAM-facing tools, sales enablement systems) \nTrack engagement and adoption of enablement content, and iterate based on what CAMs and partners actually use \nDemand Generation & Awareness \nBuild awareness campaigns (webinars, events, digital content, incentives) that drive interest in the joint AI solution \nSupport field and partner marketing teams in localizing and executing these programs regionally \nCross-Functional Collaboration \nWork closely with the Alliance Manager(s) on the partner relationship to ensure content and enablement priorities match the joint business plan \nPartner with product marketing, sales enablement, and channel teams to keep messaging and materials consistent across every audience \nServe as the go-to resource CAMs contact when they need to understand or position joint solutions \nWhat Success Looks Like \nCAMs and channel partners can clearly articulate the AI joint value proposition \nEnablement content is being actively used (not just published) - measured through adoption, certification completion, or content engagement \nAwareness and demand-gen programs produce measurable pipeline contribution \nAlliance partners see Wasabi as a strong co-marketing partner on this initiative \nQualifications: \n7-10+ years in partner marketing, alliance marketing, or partner enablement, ideally in cybersecurity, cloud, or enterprise SaaS - senior enough to own this end-to-end with minimal direction \nTrack record of building a content/enablement motion from scratch in a new or undefined category, not just running an existing playbook \nDemonstrated ability to operate with ambiguity and shifting priorities in a fast-paced environment, and to make good calls quickly without waiting for complete information \nStrong writer and storyteller - able to turn technical capability into a message a seller or partner can use \nExperience building enablement content and driving its adoption through CAMs or channel teams \nComfortable working directly with external partner marketing counterparts, including at senior levels, to co-develop content \nStrong project management instincts - this role juggles content development, enablement rollout, and partner coordination simultaneously, often in parallel \nPreferred \nFamiliarity with partner portals / enablement platforms (e.g., Impartner, Allbound, PartnerStack, Highspot, or similar) \nExperience in cybersecurity, AI, or data resilience/protection markets \nExperience running MDF-funded content or co-marketing programs with technology alliance partners \nAbout the Role \nWasabi is building out its AI story with our technology alliance partners, and we're looking for a senior, seasoned Partner Activation Manager to own the content and enablement strategy that brings it to market.
