Agency Partner Manager – UK

About Polar Analytics

Polar is the complete data platform for omnichannel commerce, transforming how brands leverage data across their entire operation. We connect every data source—Shopify, Amazon, NetSuite, Meta, Google, Klaviyo—into a single Snowflake warehouse, layer a commerce semantic layer on top, and add AI capabilities so operators can ask questions, get answers, and automate workflows without writing SQL.

Founded by leaders from Turo and Airbnb who built data platforms at scale, Polar now serves 4,000+ merchants including brands like Quadlock, gorjana, Joseph Joseph, and ARMRA Colostrum. We've shipped MCP integrations with Claude and ChatGPT, AI automations, and an AI Data Engineer that builds connectors on demand. We position ourselves as the data layer to build agent workflows for commerce—and customers tell us it feels like "the first time they showed me Shopify."

The Role: Agency Partner Manager – UK

This is a unique opportunity to build and scale Polar's partnerships program from the UK market. You'll drive strategic growth, shape the future of eCommerce partnerships, and make a direct impact in a high-growth, fast-paced environment. You'll work in tandem with our North American Partnerships Manager to develop strategy and execute on partnership growth across your region.

How We Operate

Our culture is defined by six core operating principles:

• Customer Obsession: Every decision starts with: does this make our users' lives better? Go talk to customers before building anything.
• Own the Number: Every metric has an owner. Know it cold—the trend, the why, the plan. Be first to flag when off track.
• Raise the Pace: Always ask: what would it take to do this in half the time? Speed is our edge. We try 100 things while competitors try one.
• Don't Fail Silently: If it's broken, say it. If you're stuck, raise your hand. Hiding problems is unacceptable.
• Here to Win, Not to Be Right: Quiet ego, loud standards. Fight to win together, be ruthless on quality, never rude about it.
• Optimize for Polar, Not Your Function: "Not my scope" doesn't exist here. If it makes us win, it's your scope.

We're a remote-first team that runs daily standups, ships weekly, and maintains systematic company intensity. We're transitioning from founder-led intensity to scalable processes—meaning we need people who maintain pace autonomously.

What Success Looks Like

You'll be responsible for identifying, recruiting, and managing strategic partnerships that drive mutual growth. You'll develop partnership strategy for your region, manage partner relationships throughout their lifecycle, and collaborate cross-functionally to ensure partners succeed with Polar. Your success metrics will be clear, and you'll own them.
