[Hiring] Senior Partner Development Executive @Experian

Role Description

As a Partner Development Executive (PDE) at Experian Employer Services, you will be responsible for driving revenue growth through our most strategic reseller and partner relationships, with a primary focus on ADP, as well as other high-impact resellers and emerging partners. You will own partner-led sales execution, pipeline creation, and joint go-to-market motions, ensuring that alliances translate into measurable revenue outcomes.

The PDE is a sales-oriented role that works in close partnership with the Partner Relationship Manager (PRM) to ensure agreement between relationship management and revenue generation. While the PRM focuses on operational excellence, partner health, and long-term engagement, the PDE is accountable for activating partners commercially—developing sales strategies, executing co-selling motions, and expanding revenue across existing and new partnerships.

Our Alliances team develops partnerships with organizations such as Payroll providers, HR platforms, Benefit providers, and HR consulting firms that sell to the HR and Payroll ecosystem. The Partner Development Executive owns partner-driven pipeline and revenue within their assigned portfolio, leading business development efforts with both established resellers and new partners. A critical responsibility of this role is identifying whitespace opportunities, enabling partner sales teams, and collaborating with internal Sales, Product, and Marketing teams to accelerate deal velocity and close rates.

Through these activities, you will be expected to build trusted relationships with partner sales leadership, business development teams, and internal revenue stakeholders, positioning Experian Employer Services as a strategic growth partner and ensuring consistent, scalable revenue contribution from the partner ecosystem. You will report to Experian's Senior Director of Resellers.
