Job Description

Senior Partnerships Manager | GCC - Deel Careers

Location: United Arab Emirates (Remote) | Department: S&M

Deel is revolutionizing the future of global work, and as a Senior Partnerships Manager focused on the GCC region, you'll be at the heart of this transformation. Based in the United Arab Emirates, this full-time role in Sales & Marketing (Partnerships) offers a unique opportunity to leverage your deep connections in the GCC's technology, professional services, and venture landscapes to fuel Deel's explosive growth. With 5+ years of experience in commercial, channel, or indirect sales partnerships, you'll identify high-potential organizations, close deals, manage lifecycles, and launch impactful co-marketing campaigns like webinars, events, and content collaborations. You'll nurture partners to drive client referrals, collaborate with Marketing, Sales, and Operations teams, and own the partnerships P&L—directly contributing to Deel's $1B ARR and $17.3B valuation.

What sets Deel apart as a career accelerator? We're not just a SaaS company; we're the all-in-one payroll and HR platform powering global teams in 150+ countries. Our 7,000-strong team spans 100+ countries, speaks 74 languages, and embodies a dynamic, innovative culture that prioritizes continuous learning. Recognized as CNBC Disruptor 50, Forbes Cloud 100, and Deloitte Fast 500, Deel has paid out $11.2B in 2024 alone across nearly 100 currencies, proving our commitment to compliant, borderless work. As a native Arabic speaker proficient in English, you'll thrive in our remote-first environment with optional WeWork access, stock grants, and location-tailored perks.

This senior-level position demands strategic prowess: anticipate market shifts, harness AI for partner communications, research, and workflows, and build cross-functional relationships that scale sustainably. If you've thrived in fast-growing startups, HR/FinTech/Payroll firms, or distributed teams, Deel is your launchpad to leadership in the global work revolution. Enjoy the flexibility of remote work while making a tangible impact on millions—breaking down barriers to opportunity and fostering an inclusive economy. Deel values diversity, offering accommodations and equal opportunities regardless of background. Join us to build the infrastructure for tomorrow's workforce, accelerate your career, and be part of history's fastest-growing SaaS success story.

Role Description

Our momentum is reflected in our achievements and customer satisfaction: CNBC Disruptor 50,  Forbes Cloud 100, Deloitte Fast 500, and repeated recognition on Y Combinator’s top companies list – all while maintaining a 4.83 average rating from 15,000 reviews across G2, Trustpilot, Captera, Apple and Google.

Your experience at Deel will be a career accelerator. At the forefront of the global work revolution, you'll tackle complex challenges that impact millions of people's working lives. With our momentum—backed by a $17.3 billion valuation and $1 B in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) in just over five years—you'll drive meaningful impact while building expertise that makes you a sought-after leader in the transformation of global work.
