Location: Netherlands or Paris Remote-friendly Travel: 20-30%

Veesion is a fast-growing AI scale-up transforming retail security through computer vision technology. Our solution helps retailers detect suspicious gestures in real time, enabling them to reduce theft while improving in-store security.

Today, our technology is deployed in thousands of retail stores worldwide. With around 150 employees and strong international growth ambitions, we are entering an exciting new phase of expansion.

Our next growth engine is partnerships.

We work with resellers, security integrators, distributors and other industry players who help retailers implement and get the most out of our technology. These partners bring more than sales opportunities: they provide local expertise, established customer relationships and the ability to deliver a complete in-store security solution.

We believe the best partnerships create value for everyone involved. When our partners grow their business with Veesion, we grow together.

To accelerate this ambition, we are looking for a Partnerships Manager to develop our partner ecosystem across Germany, the UK and the Nordics, with the possibility of covering additional European markets.

This is not a traditional account management role, nor is it simply about recruiting new resellers.

You will own the development of your partner ecosystem, combining business development, relationship management and commercial strategy. Your mission is to turn existing and new partnerships into sustainable sources of revenue.

You will work with independent business owners and established companies, each with their own priorities, customers and business models. Your challenge is to understand what drives them, identify where Veesion fits into their business and build a compelling case for growing together.

You will have significant autonomy in how you manage your territory. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, makes decisions, tests ideas and learns from experience rather than waiting for instructions.

You will be responsible for building a strong network of partners across your territory, from identifying new opportunities to developing long-term, productive relationships.

• Identify, approach and onboard new resellers, security integrators, distributors and other relevant industry players.

• Leverage your network and market knowledge to open doors and establish meaningful business relationships.

• Develop your existing partner portfolio by identifying new revenue opportunities and expanding our footprint within each partner's customer base.

• Understand each partner's business model, commercial priorities and growth ambitions to identify opportunities for mutual success.

• Build and execute partner development plans, with clear objectives, priorities and growth opportunities.

• Identify new market segments, customer profiles and partnership opportunities to accelerate Veesion's expansion.

• Maintain regular business reviews, track progress and identify opportunities to improve performance.

• Collaborate with our direct sales team to coordinate opportunities, share market insights and maximize commercial impact.

• Help partners understand how to position Veesion, communicate its value and integrate it into their existing offering.

• Monitor pipeline development, sales performance and partner engagement, taking action when opportunities stall.

• Balance short-term revenue generation with the long-term development of a healthy partner ecosystem.

Entrepreneurial and autonomous

You enjoy having ownership and freedom. You can structure your own work, make decisions without constant supervision and take responsibility for the outcomes. You don't need a fully established playbook to get started.

Relationship-driven and people-oriented

You are naturally curious about people and businesses. You know how to build trust, connect with stakeholders beyond the transactional level and develop relationships that last. You understand that successful partnerships are built on mutual value, not just commercial pressure.

Commercially minded

You can identify opportunities that benefit both Veesion and its partners, build a compelling business case and turn that value proposition into revenue. You are motivated by achieving ambitious goals and are comfortable with performance-based incentives.

Strategic, but hands-on

You can think strategically about how to grow a partner portfolio, but you are equally comfortable picking up the phone, meeting partners, discussing opportunities and getting things done.

Collaborative and team-oriented

You are independent without being a lone wolf. You share information, collaborate with colleagues and understand that building a successful partner ecosystem requires strong internal alignment.

Curious and tech-savvy

You are comfortable working with technology and enjoy understanding how new solutions can create value for customers and partners. You are open to using AI tools to improve your productivity, prepare for meetings and manage your day-to-day work.
