Strategic Partnership Consultant

About Saras Analytics

Saras Analytics helps eCommerce and DTC brands turn fragmented data into clear, actionable decisions. We're a bootstrapped, profitable company that has grown primarily through high-quality delivery and customer trust — our customers, agencies, and technology partners are some of our strongest advocates for growth.

ROLE OVERVIEW

Saras Analytics is looking for a Strategic Partnership Consultant to build and run the partner channel for our

ecommerce business. This is an outbound-and-relationships role: you will find the agencies, technology

vendors, and consultants who already serve ecommerce brands, bring them to a signed agreement, and keep

them referring business to us. HubSpot and modern outreach tooling are the tools of the trade — the core

expectation is credibility with the ecommerce ecosystem and the persistence to carry a partner from first

email to first referral. We are open to strong SDR and business development candidates stepping into their

first partnerships role.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Build and maintain the partner pipeline — identify and qualify ecommerce agencies, marketplace and

martech vendors, and independent consultants against our Ideal Partner Profile.

• Run multi-step outbound sequences across email, calls, and LinkedIn, and hold the first partnership

conversations yourself.

• Drive partnership agreements to signature, following up on stalled contracts until they close.

• Run the monthly partner nurture cadence — product updates, commission and incentive news, event

and webinar invitations — and step in when a new partner has not activated within its first 30 days.

• Own HubSpot hygiene and weekly reporting on outreach and partner-sourced pipeline, coordinating

with Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing to keep partner outreach aligned.

MUST-HAVE SKILLS

• Outbound execution. Multi-channel sequences that you write, test, and improve yourself; comfortable

with high daily activity and with hearing no.

• Ecommerce ecosystem fluency. You have sold to or worked with ecommerce and DTC brands,

marketplace sellers, or the agencies and vendors serving them, and can hold a credible conversation

about how that business works.

• CRM discipline. Daily hands-on HubSpot or equivalent — accurate stages, statuses, and dates,

maintained without being chased.

• Written communication. Outreach, nurture content, and partner-facing messages that go out as written

and do not need rewriting.

• Ownership. This function is being built rather than maintained; you set the week's priorities and close

the loop without supervision.

GOOD TO HAVE

• You have worked in a partnerships, channel, alliances, or reseller program before, in any capacity.

You have run sequences in Apollo, Clay, Smartlead, Lemlist, or Sales Navigator and know what a healthy

reply rate looks like.

• You have carried a pipeline or revenue number and hit it.

• You read your own funnel metrics and change next week's approach based on them.

• You have handled contracts and e-signature workflows and know how to keep a deal moving without a

legal team.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Graduate degree in any discipline — an MBA or postgraduate qualification in Marketing, Sales, or

Business is a plus.

• 3–5 years in outbound sales or business development — SDR, BDR, inside sales, or BD — preferably

selling into ecommerce, retail, or SaaS.

• Hands-on CRM experience (HubSpot preferred), and strong spoken and written English.
