About the Role

SkyWatch is seeking a Senior Manager, Ecosystem & Platform Partnerships to help shape and operationalize our multi-source remote sensing and geospatial data ecosystem. Reporting to the Chief Product Officer, this role focuses on strengthening partner offerings, commercial readiness, and platform leverage, working closely with Product, Sales, and Marketing leadership.

This is a senior, highly collaborative role with meaningful influence across the organization. You will contribute to how SkyWatch aggregates, orchestrates, and commercializes partner data and solutions, ensuring they are usable, scalable, and differentiated within the platform.

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Ecosystem & Partner Development

• Manage and evolve relationships with a portfolio of remote sensing and geospatial data and analytics partners, with a focus on expanding value from existing partnerships.

• Help shape how partner offerings are packaged, positioned, and activated within the SkyWatch platform.

• Collaborate with Product and Engineering to ensure partner data and solutions are clearly defined, reliable, and aligned with platform capabilities.

• Act as a point of coordination when partner-related operational or commercial issues arise, helping resolve blockers that impact customer experience or delivery.
  

Commercial Enablement & Deal Support

• Contribute to the development and ongoing refinement of partner pricing, licensing, and commercial models.

• Provide pricing and technical input on complex or high-value customer opportunities, helping teams navigate partner-specific considerations.

• Improve internal clarity and documentation around partner capabilities, constraints, and commercial terms.

• Identify opportunities to expand or optimize partner offerings, including new product lines, bundles, or usage models.

Platform Leverage & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work across Product, Sales, and Marketing to support consistent, repeatable use of partner offerings.

• Contribute to ecosystem planning by identifying gaps, overlaps, and opportunities for greater platform leverage.

• Support expansion into new geographies (including EMEA and APAC) by helping ensure partner readiness and alignment.

• Contribute to the evolution of SkyWatch’s marketplace and ecosystem capabilities over time.

What We’re Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in ecosystem partnerships, strategic partnerships, commercial operations, or related roles within remote sensing, geospatial data, or platform-based technology companies.

• Strong understanding of remote sensing and geospatial data products, licensing frameworks, and commercial models.

• Ability to operate comfortably across technical, commercial, and product contexts.

• A collaborative working style with the ability to influence and align stakeholders.

• Experience working in lean, fast-moving environments where judgment and prioritization and ownership are critical.

What Will Excite Us

• You are motivated by building and evolving ecosystems rather than managing one-off relationships.

• You enjoy connecting product, partners, and customers to create scalable solutions.

• You are comfortable working across functions and adapting as priorities shift.

• You are energized by platform leverage, aggregation, and orchestration.
