Responsibilities

• Track record of running structured business reviews (QBR/EBR) with partner or enterprise stakeholders
• An AI-native working style: defaults to building reusable prompts, templates, and workflows rather than doing recurring work manually, and can show concrete examples of how this has improved output or capacity in a previous role

• Experience in partner success, customer success, or account/relationship management in a B2B SaaS, cloud, or OEM environment

• Working knowledge of cloud infrastructure or open-source data technologies, or the ability to build that fluency quickly
• Demonstrated day-to-day use of AI tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot or similar) to research, analyze data, draft communications and reporting, and automate repeatable tasks, with the judgment to review, verify, and own the output
• Comfortable working cross-functionally with Engineering, Presales, and Marketing to drive outcomes
• Prior experience with OEM, embedded, or ISV partner models specifically
• Prior project management experience, or dealing with complex customer situations that required internal and external coordination, reporting, and follow-up
• Experience coordinating product or feature launches with external partners

Preferred

• Familiarity with Aiven's product stack (Kafka, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, OpenSearch, and similar open-source data infrastructure)
• Experience using AI agents or automation to connect data sources (CRM, usage/billing data, support tooling) into partner health or account reporting
