Hopae is seeking a Partner Development Manager to own the partner lifecycle with IDV providers, turning the provider network into revenue through activation, enablement, and co-sell motions. This onsite role in Paris requires 3-5 years in B2B SaaS or privacy-first tech with a proven track record in pipeline and revenue, not just relationships. You will craft GTM strategies, run reviews, and remove blockers with Sales Product and Legal while becoming the voice of the partner inside Hopae. English fluency essential; other languages a plus. In your application, show measurable wins, cross-functional impact, and ownership mindset, tailoring examples to demonstrate revenue impact. Expect a recruiter intro, a functional interview, a culture fit discussion, and an offer.
At Hopae, we're building the world's most trusted digital identity platform — private, secure, and built for real life. We believe identity should be in your control — not locked behind outdated systems or centralized gatekeepers.
Our product, Hopae Connect, lets businesses verify real people across borders through a single API — no need to build country-by-country integrations themselves. Our technology powers instant, privacy-first verification across fintech, credentials, supply chain, and gaming — for IDV providers, e-signature platforms, and enterprises who need identity to just work, everywhere.
Backed by top global investors, Hopae operates across Seoul, Paris, Luxembourg, and San Francisco, bringing together exceptional talent from over 10 nationalities. We move fast, think globally, and build products that define the future of identity.
