• Demonstrated ability to define strategy and execute with a high degree of autonomy.

• Experience designing and negotiating revenue-generating partnerships with a strong analytical foundation.

• Excellent communicator with the ability to engage with executive stakeholders and represent the company externally.

• Naturally curious, proactive, and energized by exploring new opportunities and building from zero-to-one.

• California, or west coast preferred.

Why This Role is Different:

• Chart Your Own Path: We’re at the cutting edge of open-source tech—this role offers the opportunity to define and execute a partnership strategy that shapes the future of Supabase and the broader ecosystem.

• High-Impact & High-Visibility: Your work will directly drive revenue and influence how Supabase shows up in the market.

• Engage with the Next Generation: Work closely with startup founders, developer-first companies, and technical leaders who are building what’s next.
