Director, Partner Management - job 1 of 2

Who we are is what we do.

Deel and our family of growing companies are made up of global teams dedicated to helping businesses hire anyone, anywhere, easily. 

The team comprises over three thousand self-driven individuals spanning over 100 countries, and our unified yet diverse culture keeps us continually learning and innovating the platform and products for customers.

Companies should be able to hire the best talent anywhere in the world, so we are building the best platform to make that a reality. Our market-leading technology, expertise, and global team are crucial to the platform’s success. We deliver the best products and features in our space, enabling millions of jobs worldwide and connecting the global workforce with the best companies and opportunities.

Why should you be part of our success story?

A 30-mile hiring radius should no longer dictate how companies hire because exceptional talent lives everywhere. Deel sees a world without hiring borders and endless talent that pairs perfect candidates with great companies.

We offer global teams all the tools they need to hire, onboard, manage, pay, and scale at full speed. We aim to foster a diverse global economy by building a generational platform that seamlessly connects companies with talent worldwide.

After our successful Series D in 2021, we raised another $50M in 2023, doubling our valuation to $12B. There’s never been a more exciting time to join Deel — the international payroll and compliance market leader.

What we're looking for:

Someone eager to join Deel and lead a large and fast growing team focused on managing, optimizing and growing Deel’s commercial partnerships. Deel’s Partner Program is already a meaningful revenue driver for the company, but the opportunity to grow is massive. There is tremendous synergy between the global infrastructure and technology that Deel has built, and what many Human Capital, Talent and Payroll organizations are looking to offer to their customers. We are looking for a dynamic leader to unlock this value by leading the continuous development of our partnership program, and leading a skilled team of Partner Managers to the next level.

It is still early days for Deel (there is huge growth ahead) …we need someone who isn’t fazed by ambiguity, can roll up their sleeves, and build and move at Deel speed!
