Head of Partnerships

Wehype is transforming how games grow by empowering content creators to drive discovery, engagement, and monetization. Today, we operate one of the leading creator-marketing businesses for games, partnering with game studios and publishers globally. As we scale our commercial organization, we're strengthening our leadership team to accelerate growth, deepen partnerships, and build a world-class sales engine.

We are now hiring a Head of Partnerships to lead, coach, and scale our team of Partnership Managers and Sales Directors, drive New Business & Account Growth strategies.

This is a people-first leadership role with full commercial responsibility. You won't be expected to be the top salesperson in the room - instead, you'll be the coach, motivator, and operator who enables the team to perform at its best.

The Role

As Head of Partnerships, you will lead Wehype's Partnership Managers (PMs) and sales leaders, owning forecasting, planning, execution, and results. You will be responsible for driving new business, reactivating dormant accounts, and accelerating growth within existing partnerships - while building a high-performance, motivated team.

You will lead a team of 6–8 people, primarily based in Stockholm, with potential for limited remote team members in the future.
