[Hiring] Partner Marketing Manager @Axelera AI

Role Description

You will own marketing with our largest global customers and with the customers who have become partners — the OEMs, system builders, and integrators who put Axelera silicon inside the products their own customers purchase.

This is not a channel-program job where you administer MDF and chase logos for a partner page. You will partner with your sales counterparts, sit down with a handful of named accounts, understand what each strategy and how it aligns with Axelera, and build a joint marketing plan that helps them drive our collective business. Then you will execute it: the launch moments, the co-branded content, the event presence, the campaign that runs on their list and ours.

The people you work with on the partner side are marketers with their own targets and their own executives to answer to. Your job is to make Axelera the easiest company they collaborate with all year; executing friction-free, high-impact campaigns where both companies win.

What You'll Do

• Qualify, build and run joint marketing plans with a named set of global customers and customer-partners, ensuring every co-marketing effort aligns with Axelera’s strategic goals while delivering clear value to the partner, from goals through to results.
• Produce the assets those plans need: co-branded campaigns, solution briefs, customer stories, launch content, demand generation.
• Own partner presence at industry events — booth-in-booth, joint sessions, launch moments, the pre- and post-show follow-through that most people skip.
• Work with Sales and Product to turn what each partner sells into positioning their buyers understand.
• Bring partner voices into our launches, and get Axelera into theirs.
• Report on what worked: pipeline influenced, content used, programs a partner asks to repeat.
• Represent Axelera in front of partner marketing teams and their executives, in person and often.

Qualifications

• Experience in a partner, channel, or alliance marketing role — you have built joint plans with named partners and taken them to market.
• A track record of working with large, structured organizations where marketing decisions pass through several people.
• Comfort with technical products and the eagerness to learn a new set.
• Strong writing skills; you will use AI in a lot of what you do, but you need to know what great writing is and can ensure what is produced meets a very high bar.
• Willingness to travel — see below.

Helpful, not required

• Semiconductor, hardware, embedded, or AI infrastructure background.
• Experience working across US and European teams or time zones.
• A second language.

What We Offer

• An attractive compensation package, including a pension plan, extensive employee insurances and the option to get company shares.
• An open culture that supports creativity and continual innovation.
• Collaborative ownership and freedom with responsibility is characteristic for the way we act and work as a team.
• A warm and inclusive environment that empowers and celebrates every member of our team.

Location

This role is remote in the United States. You should expect to travel roughly 15-20% of the time — partner sites, customer visits, and industry events across the Americas and Europe, with periodic trips to Europe, including our Eindhoven headquarters.
