Head of Partnerships at Wehype
Wehype is hiring a Head of Partnerships to lead and scale our sales team. Coach, motivate, and drive new business and account growth in a fast-growing gaming scale-up with global reach.
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.

● Translate market data, customer insights, and launch signals into actionable sales initiatives.
Cross-Functional Collaboration
● Partner closely with internal strategy, sales operations, campaign, and delivery teams.
● Align sales execution with campaigns, creator programs, and client outcomes.
● Be a key contributor to Wehype’s commercial strategy and growth roadmap.
What Success Looks Like
● A motivated, high-performing partnerships team that consistently delivers results.
● Strong forecasting accuracy and clear commercial planning.
● Increased new business generation and reactivation of past customers.
● Faster growth in existing accounts through improved partnership quality.
● A scalable sales leadership structure that supports Wehype’s continued growth.
Who You Are
● Proven leader with strong experience coaching and managing commercial teams.
● Solid understanding of the gaming industry (industry experience strongly preferred).
● Comfortable owning numbers, forecasts, and results - while leading through people.
● Strong operational mindset with the ability to structure, prioritize, and execute.
● Fluent in English (Swedish is a plus, not a requirement).
● Willing and able to work on-site in Stockholm 3–4 days per week.
Why Join Wehype?
● Lead and shape the future of Wehype’s global partnerships organization.
● Work in a fast-growing scale-up with short decision paths and real impact.
