Who is the Partner Management Team?
The Partner Management Team is instrumental in strengthening Formalize’s partner-led go-to-market strategy as we build the leading European platform for Governance, Risk & Compliance (GRC). Focused on the Nordic region, we build, structure, and scale enterprise-grade ecosystems across audit firms, advisory consultancies, legal specialists, and boutique partners.
We don't do transactional channel management - we drive strategic, revenue-relevant alignment. By connecting partner- and director-level stakeholders externally with our internal Sales, Product, and Leadership teams, we build pipeline, deep credibility, and long-term value in an increasingly complex market of regulations, standards and resilience best practices.

What you’ll bring:

• Proven expertise in strategic partnerships, alliances, or enterprise business development, ideally within B2B SaaS, advisory, compliance, cybersecurity or regulated industries.
• Proven experience collaborating with enterprise consulting, legal advisory or audit partners (experience with Big-4 or equivalent strongly preferred).
• Deep understanding of compliance, risk, audit, and regulatory buying centers, or a proven ability to quickly adapt on knowledge gaps.
• Commercial mindset with proven experience owning or materially influencing revenue outcomes (previous direct sales experience, e.g., as an AE, is a big plus).
• Professional fluency in Danish, and the ability to work in an English-first team, to communicate value and negotiate seamlessly with customers and colleagues.
• Strong relationship-building skills and the ability to act as a trusted advisor when engaging with senior partner- and director-level decision-makers.
• Experience using a SaaS-typical tech stack of Google Workspace, Slack, Notion, HubSpot, along with various AI tools, is a strong plus, but not a requirement.

We offer you:

• Our starting monthly base salary ranges from DKK 44,500 to DKK 51,250 based on experience and role progression, with total On-Target Earnings (OTE) reaching between DKK 52,353 and DKK 68,334.
• Uncapped commission scheme - there is no ceiling on what you can earn if you outperform.
• Continuous development through a clear and transparent career framework, so you always know what the next step looks like through biannual growth talks and regular check-ins.
• Thorough pre-boarding and onboarding to set you up for success.
• An office-first culture in central Copenhagen (Kødbyen), with benefits including lunch, health insurance, and social events.
• A culture of ownership, trust, and independence with the support you need.
• A strong team spirit where we celebrate wins and enjoy time together across offices.
• Our annual Global Summit, where the whole company connects over strategic achievements and projects.

Our recruitment process:

• Send your application and upload relevant information.
• 30-minute online interview with our Talent Acquisition team.
• 60-minute online interview with our Hiring Manager.
• Complete a personality assessment and prepare a case presentation.
• 60 minutes in-person case presentation interview with our Hiring Manager & other relevant stakeholders.
