Partner Account Manager

Docusign brings agreements to life. Over 1.5 million customers and more than a billion people in over 180 countries use Docusign solutions to accelerate the process of doing business and simplify people’s lives. With intelligent agreement management, Docusign unleashes business-critical data that is trapped inside of documents. Until now, these were disconnected from business systems of record, costing businesses time, money, and opportunity. Using Docusign’s Intelligent Agreement Management platform, companies can create, commit, and manage agreements with solutions created by the #1 company in e-signature and contract lifecycle management (CLM).

The Partner Account Manager (PAM) for Salesforce drives Docusign’s strategic alliance mission with Salesforce Japan through high-impact business development initiatives. The primary objective is to build a deep, collaborative relationship with Salesforce Japan to co-sell and integrate Docusign solutions within their core offerings. A successful PAM focuses on formulating go-to-market strategies and robust pipeline generation to architect "Win-Win" scenarios that accelerate growth for both companies. This role requires high strategic autonomy, acting as a lead Business Architect to independently construct value propositions that align with Salesforce’s internal incentives. Ultimately, it is a sophisticated position demanding a deep understanding of various Salesforce product lines and their specific sales targets to drive large-scale deal creation. 

This position is an individual contributor role reporting to the Senior Director, Alliance Partnership Japan.
