About the Role

Lead Deals. Build Partnerships. Shape the Future of EdTech.

We’re looking for a commercially minded, tech-savvy leader to join our Global Partnerships team as a Strategic Partnerships Manager (Technology). In this high-impact role, you’ll be responsible for driving revenue and growing Moodle’s global partner ecosystem - including integrations, resellers (VARs) and Marketplace vendors. You’ll lead a small team, own ambitious commercial targets and play a central role in negotiating high-value technology partnerships that bring real value to our users and the Moodle platform.

You don’t need to be an engineer - but you should have a genuine interest in technology, understand what things like APIs and integrations mean in a business context and be comfortable engaging with both technical and commercial stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

Most days in this role usually involve a mix of:

• Design and execute partnership strategies that drive revenue, product value and ecosystem growth
• Lead and close commercial negotiations, from early-stage conversations through to signed deals
• Oversee and refine scalable programs for certified integrations, resellers and Marketplace vendors
• Manage a small team to deliver on ambitious targets and contribute to a high-performance culture
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Legal and Marketing to bring partnerships to life
• Drive partner compliance, reporting and onboarding with support from operational resources
• Identify and pursue new opportunities - from growth in key markets (e.g. US Federal, India) to platform-aligned integrations

We’d love to meet you

Especially if you can tell us about your:

• Proven experience in strategic partnerships, business development or partner/channel sales
• A track record of negotiating and closing commercial deals and managing key partner relationships
• Leadership experience - you know how to set direction, motivate your team, and deliver results together
• Strong commercial and strategic thinking, with the ability to balance partner needs and business goals
• An interest in the tech landscape you understand concepts like APIs and integrations and can speak confidently with both business and technical teams
• Excellent stakeholder engagement skills - you know how to bring people on the journey

Bonus Points For:

• Experience working with education technology, SaaS or digital platforms
• Familiarity with partner marketplaces or channel sales ecosystems
• Experience working with US Federal or Indian market partners
