Founding Partner Director

<h4>About us</h4><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>Hey there! We're Lleverage, and we're making the Autonomous Back Office actually achievable for businesses. We enable teams to capture, automate, and integrate AI agents into their business, because AI is only useful when it actually fits into daily operations.</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>We help the most strategic European industries (manufacturing, logistics, and wholesale) automate the messy, manual processes that most tools can't handle. Not simple task automation, but AI agents that run full operational workflows: intake, decisions, exceptions, and the edge cases that break everything else, all inside the systems our customers already use.</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>We're a fast-growing, VC-backed scale-up based in Amsterdam, with big ambitions and the momentum to back them up. This is your chance to join early, have real impact, and grow alongside the company. If that sounds like something you want to help build, we'd love to have you on board!</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><h4>About the role</h4><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>Partners already drive 20% of our revenue. That comes from a mix we've built by hand: systems integrators, full-service implementation partners, AI partners, and individual industry experts who send us referrals. The motion works. We've proven it.</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>What we haven't done is scale it deliberately. There's no detailed partner program yet, just a set of relationships that pay off. That's exactly what you'll build.</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>You'll be our first Partner Director, and you'll design the function from the ground up. For roughly the first twelve months, you drive it yourself: find additional partners (NL, UK Germany), train them, activate them, and turn the channel into a serious, repeatable revenue lever. Once the proof points are there, you build the team underneath you and lead it.</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>This spans the full range. On one end, individual referral partners and industry experts. On the other, large consultancies and SIs running full implementations. You'll move between both comfortably, because the job is equal parts relationship and product. You need to win people's trust and understand our agents well enough to make partners genuinely capable of selling and delivering them.</p><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><p>This is not a classic partner director role, and we're not looking for a classic partner director. Managing an existing program is the floor, not the job. This is a builder's role: you're creating the motion, the materials, and the standard from scratch, in the Netherlands first and then internationally.</p><h4></h4><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p> <br> <h4>Responsibilities</h4><p style="min-height: 1.7em;"></p><ul><li><p><strong>Own the full partner motion.</strong> From finding partners to signing them, training them, activating them, and keeping them productive.
