About the Opportunity

Russell Tobin is partnering with a leading AI technology company to hire an experienced Partner Content & Communications Manager to support its growing global partner ecosystem.

This role sits within the Partner Programs team and will own the day-to-day execution of partner content strategy, governance, and communications for a network of approximately 2,000 services partners.

The ideal candidate brings a combination of B2B partner ecosystem experience, strong writing and editing skills, content operations expertise, and cross-functional program management capabilities. This is a highly collaborative, hands-on role requiring someone who can independently drive content initiatives, manage stakeholders, and ensure partners receive clear, consistent, and timely information.

Candidates local to San Francisco who can work onsite 3–4 days per week are preferred; however, remote candidates with strong, directly relevant experience will be considered.
