Senior Partner Manager
About us
At Xelix, we work with some of the world’s largest companies to automate and strengthen their financial controls. Our AI solutions redefine how Accounts Payable teams operate – moving from manual processes to automated, intelligent workflows.
Xelix is a fast-paced scale-up – things move fast and expectations are high. We raised our Series B with Insight Partners in June 2025 and are expanding aggressively. We have a team 150 talented people pulling together to achieve our goals. Everyone is trusted to take ownership, move fast and have a meaningful impact. We prioritise personal and professional growth, keep things fun, and love to celebrate a milestone together.
In this role you’ll grow, be challenged and help shape the future of Xelix. If you’re excited about building something special with us, we’d love to hear from you.
About the role
Xelix's partnerships channel generates over 25% of company revenue, with our most strategic relationships sitting in the BPO and Big Four consulting and SI space. This role will own some of those relationships end-to-end, with clear revenue targets attached.
It's a commercially-led partnerships role. You'll own the strategy and day-to-day running of a portfolio of high-value partnerships, and you'll play an active role in moving deals forward - supporting and co-selling alongside partners on reseller and referral opportunities. You'll need to be comfortable being close to deals and thinking commercially, without being a pure salesperson.
You'll report directly to the Head of Partnerships.
