Manager, Partner Success Strategy & Operations
About Ramp
Ramp is building the smart infrastructure for finance teams, embedded in the transaction flow of every dollar a business spends. We automate how over $100B in annualized spend flows in and out of 50,000+ companies: authorizing payments, flagging risk, categorizing spend, and closing books.
The problems are high-stakes, data-dense, and unforgiving.
We hire people with high agency and high urgency. We look for slope over intercept. We care less about where you trained and more about what you’ve built. At Ramp, everyone is a builder who owns problems end to end and makes consequential decisions that shape the outcome.
The median Ramp customer saves 5% and grows revenue 16% in their first year – far in excess of businesses operating without Ramp. We believe every ambitious company deserves the same.
If you want to build systems that directly shape how companies move and manage billions, Ramp is the place to do it.
About the Team and Role
Ramp's partner ecosystem is a critical growth engine and the customer activation experience is what turns referrals into long-term, multi-product customers.
This role owns partner activation end-to-end — building the playbook and scaling the systems that drive fast, durable adoption.
You'll design how Ramp activates thousands of partner-referred customers across product-led onboarding, scaled CS programs, and white-glove CSM support. You'll lead and develop a team of 6–8 Scaled CSMs, and work at the intersection of CS, Partnerships, Product, and Growth to define a motion central to Ramp's channel expansion.
If you've built v1 partner programs at scale and think in systems, this role was made for you.
