About Factory

Our mission is to create a world where software builds and improves itself.

We build the platform for self-improving software development, helping the world's largest enterprise engineering teams turn their organizations into autonomous software factories. Customers including Nvidia, Blackstone, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Palo Alto Networks, Adobe, and T-Mobile run Factory to ship code, review PRs, run tests, and deploy continuously - getting smarter with every cycle.

In 2026, we raised $200M at a $5B valuation, bringing our total funding to over $400M. We are backed by world-class investors and operators including Khosla Ventures, Sequoia, Blackstone, Ali Ghodsi (CEO of Databricks), and Frank Slootman (Former CEO of Snowflake).

About the Role

Factory is hiring a founding Partner Marketer to build and scale how Factory goes to market with our partners. Our partner ecosystem - cloud providers, foundation model providers, systems integrators, and strategic technology partners - is a powerful multiplier for Factory's growth, and this role owns how we turn those relationships into joint pipeline and revenue.

This is a foundational role. You will not inherit a fully built playbook - you will create Factory's partner marketing motion from the ground up, in close partnership with Partnerships/Alliances, Product Marketing, and Field Marketing. You will design co-marketed campaigns and events, build the enablement that lets partners tell the Factory story, and stand up the operating model (including MDF) behind it all.

Every program you run will be tied to target accounts, informed by partner and sales priorities, and measured by its impact on partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, deal acceleration, and revenue.

This role is both strategic and hands-on. You will own the strategy, planning, budget, and reporting for partner marketing while also rolling up your sleeves to execute the campaigns, events, and enablement yourself.

What you will do and achieve

Own and scale Factory's partner marketing strategy, driving co-marketed campaigns and events that generate measurable partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline.

Build the co-marketing motion across Factory's partner types - cloud providers, foundation model providers, systems integrators, and strategic technology/AI partners.

Develop joint marketing plans with strategic partners, translating the combined value of Factory + partner into joint positioning and campaigns that work across channels.

Launch end-to-end joint programs - executive dinners, roadshows, webinars, co-hosted events, and third-party conferences - ensuring partners actively source and engage priority accounts.

Partner closely with the Partner Sales team to identify strategic partners, align on target account lists, and maximize partner contribution to every program.

Own partner engagement for each initiative, holding partners accountable for bringing qualified prospects, supporting joint outreach, and generating measurable pipeline.

Build partner enablement - pitch decks, one-pagers, positioning and competitive guides, and solution briefs, so partners and field teams can sell Factory with confidence.

Own a clear MDF operating model - intake, prioritization, budget allocation, and approvals as well as investing in the activations that produce the highest ROI.

Coordinate partner presence at Factory and third-party flagship events (eg, AWS re:Invent), advising on messaging, audience targeting, and customer engagement.

Develop attribution frameworks and reporting to measure partner-sourced attendance, pipeline, and program performance, using data to continuously optimize results.

Collaborate cross-functionally with Partnerships/Alliances, Product Marketing, and Field Marketing to align campaign strategy, account engagement, and follow-up execution.

Leverage AI and automation to improve partner engagement, campaign execution, reporting, and operational efficiency.

Champion the Factory voice and ensure every program reflects the ambition of our mission to bring autonomy to software engineering.
