More about this role

Port is the Agentic SDLC Platform. The way engineering teams build software is constantly evolving, and every new wave - such as AI agents operating across the SDLC - makes engineering more powerful, but also more complex and chaotic.

Port turns that chaos into control: one platform to build, govern, and operate the software development lifecycle, enabling every team to move as fast as technology allows.

Following our $100M Series C funding round, we are entering an exciting stage of significant growth and global expansion. As a product-led company, we believe the recipe for success is a world-class product that speaks for itself.

We're seeking an experienced, strategic, hands-on partner leader to build and scale our global partner ecosystem from the ground up. You'll lead a mission to establish a high-impact network of channel partners, global system integrators (GSIs), and strategic resellers who will become extensions of our sales and delivery teams. As a hands-on builder, you'll thrive in ambiguity, move fast, and have the business acumen to develop a playbook that scales across North America, EMEA, and APJ.

The ideal candidate brings experience building modern SaaS partner...
