ASEAN Partnerships Manager

Temporal is a paradigm shift in modern application development, and one of the fastest developer movements in recent memory. Following our $550M Series E at a $12.5B valuation, we’re continuing to power the future of durable applications and have quickly become the orchestrator of choice for production agentic workloads.

As our first partnerships hire in ASEAN, based in Singapore, you’ll build our partner business from zero. There’s no existing partner book to inherit. You’ll identify, recruit and activate the SIs, GSIs and cloud partners who will shape how Temporal goes to market across Southeast Asia, and you’ll turn those relationships into partner-sourced pipeline and closed/won revenue. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our ASEAN field teams to execute with partners, and build a thriving partner ecosystem from the ground up. This role suits a hunter who thrives in white space and measures themselves on the number.

• Build the ASEAN partner ecosystem from zero: identify, recruit, sign and activate priority SIs, GSIs and cloud partners, and shape the strategy for other partner motions over time

• Originate and close partner-sourced business, and accelerate partner-influenced deals, to help the ASEAN region exceed its number

• Work hand-in-hand with ASEAN sales to make partners a consistent part of account planning, pipeline creation and deal execution

• Co-sell with hyperscaler teams in the region to drive joint pipeline and consumption

• Partner with our Technical Services team to get SI and GSI practitioners trained, certified and delivering successful Temporal projects

• Represent ASEAN at APJ and global levels, working with global partner owners so local execution and global strategy reinforce each other

• 7+ years in partnerships, alliances or enterprise sales in ASEAN, including building a partner ecosystem or territory from scratch

• A track record of originating partner-sourced pipeline and closing deals, with numbers you can point to

• Established relationships with regional and global SIs and hyperscaler partner teams across ASEAN

• Comfort in conversations with developer and architect personas; a background in developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, open source or AI is a strong plus

• Experience as an early or first hire in a region, operating without a playbook

• Maniacal attention to detail, excellent work ethic and unwavering commitment to delivering business results

• Demonstrated ability to build rapport with and influence sales, cross-functional teams, partner executives, and global alliance stakeholders

• Highly motivated self-starter - embraces white space, and turns that white space into opportunities and impact

• Willingness to travel regularly across Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines
