We help extend Mixpanel’s reach by building partner motions that create new pipeline, accelerate deal cycles, improve customer outcomes, and allow Mixpanel’s go-to-market teams to scale more effectively. Our goal is to make Mixpanel the go-to product intelligence platform for partners and customers across APAC and globally.

You will be accountable for building a regional partner business plan with clear targets, partner coverage, pipeline goals, activation milestones, and forecasted revenue contribution. Success in this role will be measured by the quality and quantity of partner-sourced pipeline, partner-influenced revenue, active co-selling motions, and the strength of the partner ecosystem across Japan and South Korea.
