About the role

What we are building at Conveo

Conveo is the AI research platform enabling fast, affordable, and high-quality consumer / B2B research. Global brands like Unilever, Google, and Orange use our AI video interviewer to generate insights across marketing and product teams.

#1 What problem are we solving, and why is this an important problem to solve

The current/traditional research methods companies rely on are slow, expensive, and superficial. Running great research also requires expertise, which is a blocker to many companies. That directly affects how well companies understand their customers and how well they can serve them. Conveo is the platform that closes this gap by enabling affordable, scaled, and deep insights in days instead of weeks.

#2 The team you will join

You will join an extremely talented team of incredibly passionate, high-energy people. We go the extra mile while having the best time of our lives. Our team has the combination of decades of market research knowledge, incredible engineering ability, and experience building companies.

#3 How we operate

  • We truly care about our clients and the problem we solve. That means we humbly go the extra mile every time.

  • We work hard, and we have fun.

  • To keep our quality bar incredibly high, we want to execute with the smallest possible team.

The Role

Partnerships at Conveo is nascent today — but it will become one of our core revenue drivers. We need a senior leader to build this function from zero and scale it into a machine.

This is not a relationship management role. This is a build role with commercial teeth. You'll define the strategy, structure the economics, close the deals, and create a partner program that compounds. The scope spans panels, research agencies, consulting firms, system integrators, and product companies looking to integrate Conveo's capabilities into their own offerings.

We already have early partnerships generating revenue. Your job is to take what's working and build a scalable, world-class partnerships organization around it.

Your Mission

  1. Build the partnerships function from the ground up — strategy, partner types, deal structures, and go-to-market motions

  2. Actively source and close partnership deals across panels, agencies, consultancies, SI firms, and product integrations

  3. Structure the economics — referral fees, reseller models, co-selling motions, and revenue shares

  4. Train partner teams on Conveo so they can sell and deliver effectively

  5. Work with our sales team to embed partners into enterprise deals

  6. Drive product integration partnerships that extend Conveo's reach

  7. Build a partner program that scales — onboarding, enablement, quality standards, and joint marketing

What we're looking for

  • 20+ years of experience and credibility in research, insights, or enterprise SaaS

  • A commercial and sales background — you know how to structure and close deals

  • Deep knowledge of the research and insights landscape — agencies, panels, consultancies, SI firms

  • A builder mentality — you're energized by creating something from nothing, not managing what exists

  • A network that opens doors — and the ability to walk through them and close

  • Someone who can sell TO partners and THROUGH partners with equal skill

Location

New York or San Francisco. Significant travel expected.

Why join us

At Conveo, you'll join a team that genuinely enjoys working and spending time together. We care about building real relationships, not just great products. That's why we run quarterly team off-sites where we disconnect, reset, and have fun.

  • Own a high-impact role at a hyper-growth, YC-backed AI company

  • Direct access to founders and senior leadership

  • Work with world-class enterprise clients (Unilever, Google, P&G, Canva, and more)

  • Competitive compensation, including meaningful equity (stock options) with real upside

  • Hybrid working model with offices in London, Antwerp, and New York

  • A culture built on taste, speed, ownership, and ambition

About Conveo

Our story so far:

Founded in 2024 as a better way to conduct qualitative interviews, Conveo quickly gained traction after going through the Summer 24 Y Combinator batch where we saw significant interest from Consumer Goods companies. After raising our $5.3m seed round, we executed closely with our customers to build the best qualitative market research platform centered around AI-moderated interviews. Since then we’ve expanded our scope, grown our team, and Today, we're seeing incredibly strong adoption and usage across Insights, marketing, innovation, and strategy teams in industries like: Consumer goods, Retail, Pharma, technology, and consumer services.

Background

  • We help companies understand their customers, giving us virtually unlimited market potential. The market research industry is valued at approximately $100B, with qualitative solutions representing a $30B opportunity. With AI enablement, this market is expanding rapidly. This is an infinite horizon problem.
  • Experienced team. Our head of research was the founder of a market research company with 600+ employees, our CEO previously co-founded a $75m ARR startup as CTO. Our commercial and operational teams bring their operational excellence from McKinsey, while our sales leadership includes former VPs from Ipsos.
  • We believe in forging deep collaborations with our customers. In just 15 months, we've landed deals with some of the world's largest companies that are quickly expanding their work with us, including Unilever, P&G, AB InBev, Nestlé, Google and many others. We are seeing many brands switch to us from our competitors. We’re a growing team passionate about solving real-world challenges in customer research, enabling companies to make user-informed decisions. We're looking for driven senior engineers who love working on complex systems, care about solving problems for users, and are excited to shape the future of AI-driven customer insights.
