ASEAN Partnerships Manager

INTRODUCTION TO THE ROLE Temporal is a paradigm shift in modern application development, and one of the fastest developer movements in recent memory. Following our $550M Series E at a $12.5B valuation, we’re continuing to power the future of durable applications and have quickly become the orchestrator of choice for production agentic workloads. As our first partnerships hire in ASEAN, based in Singapore, you’ll build our partner business from zero. There’s no existing partner book to inherit. You’ll identify, recruit and activate the SIs, GSIs and cloud partners who will shape how Temporal goes to market across Southeast Asia, and you’ll turn those relationships into partner-sourced pipeline and closed/won revenue. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our ASEAN field teams to execute with partners, and build a thriving partner ecosystem from the ground up.
