UK VC Backed Startup Hires Cross Functional Partnerships Lead to Support Strategic Growth

Client Profile

A UK based, VC backed technology company building products for globally distributed teams. As the business scaled across markets and partnerships, the team needed talent that could operate across strategy, analytics, and execution rather than within a narrow function.

Challenge

The company was hiring for a partnerships role, but the scope extended well beyond traditional business development.

They needed someone who could:

• Work cross functionally with product, analytics, and commercial teams
• Support go to market and partnership strategy using data driven insights
• Translate partner and market feedback into operational and product inputs
• Operate effectively in a fast paced, venture backed environment

Finding a profile with this blend of commercial, analytical, and technical depth proved difficult through standard hiring channels.

Solution

Hey Recruiting placed a cross functional operator with experience spanning partnerships, analytics, and technology led business strategy.

The hire brought prior experience managing high value partnerships, working directly with senior stakeholders, and supporting strategic initiatives through data analysis and structured execution. Their background combined consulting exposure in data and AI driven environments with hands on experience supporting revenue and partnership functions.

This allowed the role to evolve beyond relationship management into a broader strategic function aligned closely with product and growth teams.

Results

• Filled a broad, non siloed partnerships role in a VC backed company
• Added analytical and strategic depth to the partnerships function
• Improved alignment between partnerships, product, and internal stakeholders
• Hired a profile capable of scaling with the business as scope expanded
