Platform Partnerships Manager, APAC

Luminovo

YOUR OPPORTUNITY Luminovo is the first electronics supply chain platform that connects all the data, processes, and stakeholders in a trillion-dollar industry — and we're just getting started in North America. We have a proven partnerships model in Europe which is split into building an ecosystem of suppliers and running a referral partner system with experts called the ambassador program. Our ambassador program and supplier partnerships are already a core part of how we grow. Now we need someone to own that entire motion for North America — building it from near-zero into a real revenue engine. This is not a supporting role. It's a full-cycle, senior IC position. You'll own your pipeline, run your own meetings, and be measured on real commercial outcomes: signed partner ARR, ambassador referrals, and influenced revenue. You'll be working in a market with ~150 PCB manufacturers, ~100–150 distributors, and 50–70 SMT equipment vendors — most of them untouched. Unlike a traditional sales role, you won't hand partners off to customer success when a deal closes. You own the relationship long-term. That means deeper trust, more referrals over time, and a compounding book of business that grows with you. You'll also be in the room where it matters. Our partnerships team generates some of its best leads at trade shows and industry events — not from behind a laptop. Expect to travel strategically a handful of times a year to conferences where the electronics industry gathers. If you want to own a market, not just work in one, this is the role. YOUR PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES As Senior Partnerships Manager for North America, you'll split your focus equally between two pillars: building and activating our ambassador network, and winning new supplier partnerships. 🌟 AMBASSADOR PROGRAM * Activate. We already have ambassadors signed up in North America — industry experts, equipment vendors, and consultants who've agreed to refer customers to Luminovo. None of them have been actively nurtured. Your first job is to change that: get in front of them, build the relationship, and turn warm agreements into real referral pipeline. * Expand. Sign ≥10 new high-fit NA ambassadors: SMT equipment vendors, independent sales reps, and consultants who work daily with EMS and OEM buyers. Target ≥10 referrals per ambassador per year. * Operationalize. Set up the cadences, materials, and tracking that turn ambassadors into a repeatable channel — not a one-off call. Replicate what's working in EMEA for the NA market. * Show up in person. Attend the key trade shows and industry conferences where equipment vendors, consultants, and sales reps gather. That's where ambassador relationships start. 📦 SUPPLIER PARTNERSHIPS * Win PCB partners. Build a pipeline of NA-based PCB suppliers and bring them onto the Luminovo network. Own the full cycle from outreach to signed agreement. * Win distributor partners. Land new partnerships across API, Quote, and Stocking partner types — franchised distributors and brokers who want to reach active EMS and OEM buyers. Opportunistic APAC coverage welcome. * Drive revenue. You'll have a clear number to hit. It's ambitious, and you'll have the tools, the playbook, and the support to get there. 📈 OPERATING INDEPENDENTLY * Own your stack. Be fully self-sufficient in HubSpot, our ambassador app, sequencing tools, and AI-assisted sourcing workflows from day one. This role is not technical support — that stays with our EMEA team. Your focus is entirely commercial: sourcing, qualifying, and closing. * Build the playbook. Document what works. Create repeatable processes for partner sourcing, outreach, activation, and long-term relationship management — without being asked. * Measure what matters. Track your leading indicators proactively. Know your numbers before your manager does. 🤓 WHO YOU'LL BE WORKING WITH * Nils, our Partnerships Lead for EMEA — your closest counterpart and the person who built the playbook you'll be adapting for NA * Sam, our Business & Operations Lead for North America * Clifton, our VP Sales Global * Mark, our Head of Marketing, for co-branded assets, event support, and positioning * Rachel and the NA Sales team, who receive warm partner-sourced leads and run the customer-side close * Dasha, our Partnerships Ops specialist, who supports with tooling, data, and workflows * Our Product team, who will want your market feedback on supplier roadmap priorities 💡 SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE, AND EXPERTISE Just so you know — we deliberately did not create a standard checklist of minimum qualifications for this role. We care far more about your drive and ability to create impact than we do about your CV. If you want to understand why we banned requirements from our job descriptions, read more here. That said, here's what the best candidates for this role tend to look like: * Electronics industry network. You come from the industry — distribution, EMS software, electronics supply chain, or a direct competitor. You already know the terminology, the players, and how deals get done. You can walk into a conversation with a PCB manufacturer, a franchised distributor, or an SMT equipment vendor and be immediately credible. This isn't something we can ramp you on quickly; it's the foundation the role is built on. * Full-cycle commercial ownership. You've carried a number in B2B SaaS or an electronics-adjacent business, in the $5k–$30k ARR deal band. You didn't just support — you sourced, ran the process, and closed. * Two-speed partnerships. You're comfortable in both relationship-led channel building (ambassadors, referral networks) and transactional partner closing (supplier agreements, distributor contracts). Most people are strong in one; we need someone who can do both. * NA-native GTM instincts. You understand how to sell into North American channel and VP Sales orgs. East or Central time zone strongly preferred for collaboration with our Munich team. * Willing to travel. You'll attend trade shows and industry conferences — that's where relationships start and deals get seeded. A valid passport is required. * Operator mindset. You reach for tools (HubSpot, Apollo, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Clay, AI workflows) before you ask for headcount. You build lists, sequences, and dashboards because it makes you faster — not because someone asked you to. * Structure bias. You document what works. You build playbooks. You don't wait to be managed. * High agency, low ego. You run the meetings where you add the most value, and you know when to hand off to someone else. You're aligned with how we work at Luminovo: direct, honest, and focused on impact over optics. ⚡️ ABOUT LUMINOVO Luminovo is the first electronics supply chain platform that unites all data, processes, and stakeholders in the trillion-dollar electronics industry.

Millions of companies—from the world’s largest enterprises to the most ambitious startups—use Stripe to accept payments, grow their revenue, and accelerate new business opportunities. Our mission is to increase the GDP of the internet, and we have a staggering amount of work ahead. That means you have an unprecedented opportunity to put the global economy within everyone’s reach while doing the most important work of your career. WHAT YOU’LL DO We’re hiring a Product Manager to lead Stripe’s India business strategy and product roadmap. We are seeking a highly entrepreneurial, data-driven product leader who will own growth, go-to-market, and product execution for India. You will shape how Stripe serves India’s rapidly evolving digital economy - from domestic merchants and platforms to ambitious Indian companies scaling globally - and move quickly to capture significant market opportunities. India is one of the fastest-growing markets in the world: vast consumer demand, rapid merchant digitization, and a vibrant startup ecosystem. At the same time, Indian businesses are increasingly global - building products and services that sell across borders. This role sits at the intersection of domestic market expansion and global enablement: you’ll build products and commercial plays that unlock revenue across India and empower Indian companies to reach customers worldwide. The impact you drive will influence Stripe’s position in an increasingly strategic market. RESPONSIBILITIES * Own the India product strategy and roadmap end-to-end: define vision, prioritize initiatives, and measure outcomes tied to growth, revenue, and merchant satisfaction. * Lead cross-functional teams (engineering, design, data science, ops, legal/compliance, sales, partnerships) to deliver product features, integrations, and commercial programs tailored to India. * Move quickly from insight to experiment: design and run rapid experiments, launch localized features and pricing, and iterate based on quantitative and qualitative feedback. * Deeply understand Indian merchants, platforms, PSPs, gateways, regulators and payment rails; translate market dynamics into product differentiation and commercial opportunity. * Build products and flows that make it simpler for Indian businesses to sell globally — cross-border routing, FX and reconciliation, compliance, payout rails, and developer experience improvements. * Partner with partnerships and business development teams to secure and scale strategic distribution and platform integrations. * Represent the product and market perspective to regional and global stakeholders; provide clear decision-making and trade-off rationale. WHO YOU ARE We’re looking for someone who meets the minimum requirements to be considered for the role. If you meet these requirements, you are encouraged to apply. The preferred qualifications are a bonus, not a requirement. MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS * Demonstrated product leadership in payments, fintech, marketplaces, or developer platform products, with 12+ years of experience in product management or equivalent roles. * Deep knowledge of the Indian payments and commerce ecosystem: local payment methods, banks, regulatory landscape. * Track record of shipping localized products and scaling go-to-market plays in India (or similar complex emerging markets). * Strong analytical instincts: experience running experiments, using metrics to drive decisions. * Comfortable with ambiguity and skilled at prioritizing high-impact initiatives while moving quickly and iterating. * Excellent communicator and collaborator who can influence across engineering, legal, operations, and sales. * Customer-obsessed with first-hand experience talking to merchants, partners, and developer communities; able to translate feedback into product requirements. * Entrepreneurial mindset, bias for action, and experience operating with limited resources to unlock outsized outcomes. PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS * Experience with cross-border payments, currency conversion, payouts, or compliance for global trade. * Prior work with developer platforms, SDKs/APIs, or businesses that serve platforms and marketplaces. * Experience liaising with regulators or navigating complex compliance requirements.
