Partner Account Manager

With enterprise-grade governance, flexible model choice, and a collaborative interface for humans and agents to work together, Dust empowers AI Operators at the world’s fastest-moving companies to rewire how work gets done.

With 70%+ weekly active users, people stick with Dust as much as they do with Slack and Notion. We don't get piloted and shelved. We land once, and spread. We're at an exciting stage of our journey, and growing fast.

We're serving great customers like Datadog, 1Password, Cursor, Clay, Vanta and Persona, and aim to x5 our growth by the end of 2026.

Dust is backed by Sequoia with a determined team of optimists (coming from Stripe, OpenAI, and Stanford) who like to focus on users, ship fast, and don't take themselves too seriously while doing so. The Generalist named us among the Future 50.

The Solution Partner Ecosystem is the second biggest growth lever at Dust, yet Europe's agency and consultant market is still almost entirely untapped.

As Partner Account Manager (EU) at Dust, you will build a volume engine to boost partner-led revenue. Your job is to find the right partners across Europe, recruit them, and get them to their first win fast, and then transform into a repeatable motion. Working directly with our global partnerships team, you'll own the outreach motion, the onboarding, and the early relationship with every new partner you bring in, primarily digital transformation agencies and AI consultants.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can build a relationship from a cold message, run a disciplined process, and never lose the human touch that makes partners want to show up. You will be part of a growing partnerships team of 6 people, with partner managers distributed by location and a global partner operations and a solutions engineer.
