About the Team

The Partnerships team at Mixpanel is responsible for acquiring, activating, and growing a global ecosystem of Certified, Sales, Reseller, Agency, Consulting, System Integrator, and Technology Partners.

We help extend Mixpanel's reach by building partner motions that create new pipeline, accelerate deal cycles, improve customer outcomes, and allow Mixpanel's go-to-market teams to scale more effectively. Our goal is to make Mixpanel the go-to product intelligence platform for partners and customers across APAC and globally.

This is a highly cross-functional team that works closely with Sales, Marketing, Solutions Engineering, Customer Success, Professional Services, Enablement, Deal Desk, and regional leadership to turn partner relationships into measurable business impact.

About the Role

Mixpanel is in a stage of high growth, and partnerships are a critical lever in how we multiply pipeline, expand regional coverage, and scale revenue across APAC. This is not a passive partner management role - it is a commercial, builder's position at the centre of that motion.

As Partner Sales Manager, Japan and South Korea, you will report directly to the Senior Manager, Channel & Alliances, APAC, and will own and grow our Solution Partner and Channel ecosystem across Japan and Korea. You will be responsible for recruiting the right organisations, enabling their teams, driving account alignment, creating joint go-to-market plans, and generating partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline.

You will work closely with regional Account Executives and Sales leadership to embed partners into target account planning, source new opportunities, support active sales cycles, and accelerate deals through trusted partner relationships. You will bring a deep understanding of the Japanese and Korean partner landscape and how to generate pipeline through local resellers, agencies, consultancies, and systems integrators.

You will be accountable for building a regional partner business plan with clear targets, partner coverage, pipeline goals, activation milestones, and forecasted revenue contribution. Success in this role will be measured by the quality and quantity of partner-sourced pipeline, partner-influenced revenue, active co-selling motions, and the strength of the partner ecosystem across Japan and South Korea.
