Partner Manager - German Speaker

At Algolia, we’re proud to be a pioneer and market leader in AI Search, empowering 18,000+ businesses to deliver blazing-fast, predictive search and browse experiences at internet scale. Every week, we power over 30 billion search requests — four times more than Microsoft Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, Yandex, and DuckDuckGo combined.

In 2021, we raised $150 million in Series D funding, quadrupling our valuation to $2.25 billion. This strong foundation enables us to keep investing in our market-leading platform and serving incredible customers like Under Armour, PetSmart, Stripe, Gymshark, and Walgreens.

As the Partner Manager for DACH, you will execute Algolia's partner strategy across Germany, Austria and Switzerland, with Germany as the primary focus market. You'll work with consulting partners, systems integrators, technology partners and cloud partners to embed Algolia into the multi-technology — increasingly agentic — solutions they build and sell.

This is not a solutions engineering role — you won't be architecting or implementing client solutions. But it is a solutions-focused role: you need real technical fluency, and the ability to inspire partners and customers on the art of the possible with Algolia. In practice, that means identifying and shaping three kinds of agentic solutions: those that combine Algolia with one or more of our technology partners; those built by our consulting partners and brought to market by them; and those built jointly with technology partners around a shared value proposition that delivers real value to customers and end users. Pipeline development, opportunity progression and customer wins all matter — but they all start with getting the innovation right, with Algolia at the center of it.

Reporting to the Head of Global Partnerships, and working in close collaboration with the General Manager of DACH, you will develop and execute the regional partner strategy — deciding which consulting, systems integration, technology and cloud partners to prioritize, and building the technical and commercial motions that turn those relationships into pipeline and revenue.

Algolia's partner motion in DACH is mature — we've been building relationships in the region for seven years. This role is an opportunity to build on that foundation: taking well-established partnerships to the next level, while also designing and standing up a partner-led growth strategy for the region.
