Landing the role is step one. Actually succeeding in it — without a playbook, without internal alignment, without anyone in the building who can explain what your job actually is — is where most people get stuck.
A list of internal panic. None of it is your fault. All of it is fixable.
I've built and scaled partnerships programs from zero, sat across the table as a hiring manager, and helped people break in and succeed once they're in. The advice you'll get is what I'd tell a direct report — not what I'd put in a LinkedIn carousel.

Not vibes. Not "build relationships." Specific, tactical work — the kind you can put in a slack to your manager on a Tuesday and look like you know what you're doing.
Built around your company, your manager's actual definition of success, and what's politically achievable in 90 days — not a generic LinkedIn template.
How to decide what's urgent vs. loud, what to say no to, and how to defend that decision when three VPs disagree with you in the same week.
Scripts, frameworks, and meeting structures for getting sales, marketing, and CS to row in the same direction — without you becoming a project manager.
The metrics that travel up to your CEO, the dashboards that make your work visible, and how to get credit for the deals partnerships influenced — even when sales took the W.
We map your role, your company's partnerships maturity, and what your manager actually needs from you in the next quarter.
A custom strategy & 90-day plan you can defend in any meeting — with priorities, metrics, and the politically-aware version of "here's what I'm not doing."
Ongoing guidance + real-time problem solving when the deal stalls, the partner ghosts, or your VP changes the whole strategy on a Friday.
Start with one session if you want to test-drive. Most people land on the 90-day package — it's the one designed to actually move the needle.
A single deep dive on whatever's on fire — book a time today, leave with an action plan tomorrow.

Amanda was an amazing resource when I decided to switch careers and pivot into partnerships. She took time out of her packed schedule during a conference to meet with me in-person. Her advice, explanations, and input on industry lingo were so helpful for my interviews and made me much more confident during the process.
Amanda puts the fun back into partnerships. Her expertise, passion, and eye for making sure every deal has a win/win has changed how our team approaches building relationships, and the impact has been immediate. Thanks to her workshop, we're more confident and creative about our partnerships.
Amanda was a huge help when we were trying to figure out how partnerships should fit into our go-to-market strategy at Insentric. She asked the right questions, pushed our thinking, and helped us get specific about what a real partner motion could look like for a SaaS product like ours. We walked away with a clearer sense of direction and next steps.
The partnerships role you just landed is rare and high-leverage. The first 90 days decide whether it stays that way. Let's make sure it does.
