About the Role
Ramp is expanding its partner ecosystem, and the Technical Partnerships team is crucial for integrating product, engineering, sales, and third-party platforms. As a Technical Channel Partnerships Manager, you will transform Ramp's developer platform and APIs into revenue-generating integrations by architecting end-to-end solutions with ISVs, embedded finance partners, and strategic tech platforms, driving partner-driven growth.
Responsibilities
- Architect end-to-end partner integrations using Ramp's developer platform, including APIs, webhooks, authentication flows, embedded finance primitives, and workflow automation.
- Pitch, negotiate, and close co-build and co-sell agreements with third-party platforms, ISVs, and strategic partners.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with engineering, product, sales, solutions, legal, and GTM teams to design robust, scalable partnership strategies.
- Define integration success metrics (adoption, usage, retention, partner-driven revenue) and be accountable for delivering against them.
- Manage partner relationships and act as the bridge between external partner engineering teams and internal Ramp teams, clarifying data flows, responsibilities, timelines, and deliverables.
- Proactively identify integration blockers and architect around constraints such as rate limits, data model mismatches, scaling, security, and compliance requirements.
- Influence partner roadmaps, product prioritization, and GTM motions based on integration opportunities and ecosystem gaps.
Requirements
- 5+ years of experience and a strong track record in partner sales, BD, alliances, or channel partnerships with meaningful ISV/tech partner exposure.
- Strong understanding of REST APIs, webhooks and event-driven architecture, data models and schema design, authentication flows (OAuth, API keys), embedded finance primitives, and general principles of financial and ERP systems.
- Ability to architect integration flows without writing production code; comfortable drawing sequence diagrams, mapping data flows, and specifying responsibilities on both the partner and Ramp sides.
- Proven commercial instincts: able to position integrations as strategic value, negotiate agreements, and structure co-sell motions.
- Track record of delivering quantifiable results—integration adoption, partner-driven pipeline, revenue impact, or similar outcomes from full-stack partnership, integrations, or ecosystem-building roles.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to speak confidently with engineers, product teams, sales leaders, and C-suite stakeholders, and translate technical constraints into business implications.
- Bias toward execution and speed: you move fast, deliver clean work, and push initiatives across teams to completion.
- Comfort working in ambiguity — you thrive when documentation is incomplete, requirements evolve, and decisions must be made without perfect information.
