[Hiring] Senior Partner Growth Manager, Platform Partnerships @Acceleration Partners

Role Description

Acceleration Partners is hiring a Senior Partner Growth Manager, Platform Partnerships to own and grow platform and API partnerships that drive SMB advertiser acquisition and revenue at scale for our client, TikTok For Business. This role will sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and go-to-market: structuring deals, deepening technical integrations, and accelerating how partners bring TikTok For Business to their merchants and clients.

The most critical phase of this role spans from initial business development through complete partner onboarding and integration. That means the ideal candidate is a true hunter: someone who can identify and close new partnership opportunities and then drive them all the way through to live, operational integrations. We’re looking for a fast learner with commercial instincts and the technical curiosity to bridge the gap between business development and engineering.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in platform partnerships, business development, or API partnership management.
• Proven track record closing and operationalizing partnerships, not just sourcing them.
• API and technical fluency: comfortable reading API documentation, discussing integration requirements with engineering teams, and identifying where technical configurations create (or block) commercial value.
• Solid understanding of digital advertising, particularly how SMBs buy ads and how platform ad products (pixel, conversion tracking, campaign creation) function.
• Commercial acumen: understands partnership economics, can structure win-win deals, and knows how to measure impact.
• Fluent in English (required). Additional major European language (German, French, Spanish, Italian, or Dutch) is a strong plus.
• Experience working cross-functionally with product, engineering, and marketing teams.
• Bachelor’s degree.
• Ability to travel when needed for partner meetings, conferences, and internal team events.

Requirements

• Hunter mentality: driven to open new partnerships, not just manage existing ones.
• Fast learner who can get up to speed on a new technical product quickly.
• Comfortable at the intersection of commercial and technical.
• Operates with urgency.
• Structured and data-driven.
• Strong communicator across all levels.
• Works well independently in a remote environment.
