About the Team Partnerships are central to Lokalise's commercial strategy and represent a significant opportunity for the next stage of our growth. As Head of Partnerships , you will own the global partnerships function, reporting directly to the Chief Revenue Officer.

Lokalise's partner ecosystem spans strategic technology platforms, cloud providers, agencies, solutions partners, and referral partners.
