Partner Development Lead - Service Partners

Emergent builds autonomous coding agents that replace traditional software development by generating, testing, and deploying production applications directly from plain-language intent. Our systems run in production at global scale and are used to build millions of real applications. Since our public launch, we've crossed $130M in Annualised Revenue and grown to over 10M users across 190+ countries , who have built 12M+ applications on Emergent. We're backed by Creaegis, Khosla Ventures, SoftBank, Lightspeed, Together, Y Combinator, Google, Claypond and Sentinel Global. We're solving the hard part of AI-driven software creation: correctness, reliability, security, and scale in real production systems. The team is built by repeat founders, Olympiad medalists, IIT IIM alumni, and leaders from Google, Amazon, and Dropbox. We're hiring builders who want ownership, speed, and impact at global scale.

You'll start by taking our first regional agency partnership from a single relationship into a documented, repeatable program, then use that playbook to recruit similar partners market by market, country by country. You'll report to our Head of Partnerships (formerly of AWS and Stripe) as one of the first dedicated partner hires, with real latitude to shape how this function works, not just execute someone else's process. What You'll Do: Turn our first pilot agency partnership into a documented, repeatable playbook: partner criteria, onboarding, enablement, budget model, and success metrics, the blueprint for recruiting similar partners in new markets.
