This is a strategic, high-impact role that will accelerate revenue through indirect channels and amplify DigitalOcean’s position in the cloud and AI ecosystems.

As a Director of Channel Partnerships at DigitalOcean, you will join a dynamic team dedicated to revolutionizing cloud computing and AI.

What You’ll Do

Partner Strategy & Development

  • Define, lead and execute DigitalOcean’s channel and partner strategy, with a focus on recruiting, growing and monetizing relationships with cloud-native and AI-centric partners serving digital-native businesse
  • Identify and recruit strategic, high-potential partners focused on AI and digital-native businesses (startups, SaaS, generative AI, Web3, etc.).
  • Develop joint GTM strategies and commercial models in partnership with product and revenue operations that incentivize partner engagement and drive pipeline and revenue growth

Go-To-Market & Revenue Generation

  • Partner with internal Sales and Marketing teams to design and execute joint marketing campaigns, co-selling programs, and event strategies that drive partner-led pipeline and customer acquisition.
  • Enable partners to deliver AI workloads and modern application solutions on DigitalOcean’s platform, leveraging products like Droplets, Kubernetes, App Platform, Spaces, and GPU offerings.
  • Track and report on pipeline generation, deal velocity, and close rates from the channel to ensure visibility and accountability across the org.

    • Cross-functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with Product, Engineering, AI GTM, and Developer Relations teams to align on product-market fit and co-innovation opportunities with partners.
  • Collaborate with the AI GTM and developer advocacy teams to align on key partnerships and ecosystems.
  • Be a thought leader and internal advocate for the value of partnerships, driving integration of channel efforts into core sales and marketing motions.

    • Partner Enablement & Success

  • Lead strategic negotiations and co-sell motions with top-tier partners; manage executive-level relationships to ensure alignment and joint investment.
  • Work with partner program manager to create scalable onboarding, certification, and enablement programs to ensure partners are technically and commercially equipped to succeed with DigitalOcean.
  • Develop and manage partner tiers, incentive structures, and deal registration processes to support partner growth, alignment, and fairness.

    • Operational Excellence

  • Own forecasting, reporting, and operational KPIs for the partner channel.
  • Work with systems and ops teams to define partner workflows, tooling, and performance tracking.

    • What You’ll Add To DigitalOcean

  • 7+ years of experience in channel partnerships, business development, or indirect sales within the cloud infrastructure, SaaS, or AI / ML ecosystem, with a strong track record of building and scaling partner programs that deliver measurable revenue impact.
  • Proven success recruiting, onboarding, and managing different types of partners — including VARs, MSPs, system integrators, ISVs, AI solution providers, and consultancies — ideally with experience in both global and regional partner landscapes.
  • Understanding of cloud computing concepts and technologies (IaaS, PaaS, containers, Kubernetes, developer tools, AI / ML frameworks, GPU workloads) and the ability to credibly engage with both technical and commercial stakeholders.
  • Familiarity with the needs and buying behaviors of digital-native companies, such as SaaS startups, AI-first businesses, e-commerce platforms, Web3 companies, and dev-centric teams. Experience in GTM motions targeting these segments is a strong plus.
  • Demonstrated ability to at first be a player / coach, and build and lead a high-performing partner sales team, with experience hiring, coaching, and developing partner managers and partner solution architects.
  • Strong strategic thinking and business acumen — able to develop joint value propositions, co-selling frameworks, and partner programs aligned with revenue goals and customer value.
  • Experience working cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, Legal, and Customer Success teams to deliver cohesive and scalable partner experiences.
  • Operationally strong — capable of defining and managing channel performance metrics, partner tiering structures, incentive models, lead routing processes, and reporting infrastructure. Familiarity with CRM and PRM tools (e.g., Salesforce, Crossbeam, Impartner, PartnerStack, etc.) is highly desirable.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation, and executive engagement skills — able to influence both internally and externally at the C-level.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset with comfort navigating ambiguity, solving complex problems, and executing quickly in a fast-scaling, resource-constrained environment.
  • Bachelor's degree in business, technology, or a related field required; MBA or advanced technical degree is a plus.
