About the Role
Rocket Lawyer is looking for a Sr. Distribution Partnerships Manager to join our Partnerships team, reporting to the SVP, Enterprise & Legal Services. Rocket Lawyer has built a Legal AI + Attorney Marketplace platform, pairing AI-powered legal guidance with licensed attorneys. The Partner Team seeks to integrate these services into the next generation of AI agents, software platforms, and digital workflows that serve small businesses and individuals with legal needs.
In this role, you will own sourcing, structuring, and launching partnerships across our targeted verticals addressing both personal and business legal use cases : Product Integrators (independent software vendors and AI platforms that embed RL Services via APIs, MCP connectors, and A2A protocols), Channel Partners (affiliates, resellers, and group or association sponsors), and emerging Strategic Alliances. You’ll work cross-functionally with Product, Design, Engineering, and Legal Services to translate partner needs into integration requirements tied closely to Rocket Lawyer’s partner integration roadmap, and you’ll manage each partnership from first outreach through commercial negotiation, contracting, and launch, driving measurable user growth outcomes tied to company goals.
The ideal candidate brings an entrepreneurial spirit, strong commercial instincts, and comfort operating in the fast-evolving and still-maturing AI agent and MCP ecosystem as Rocket Lawyer grows its Partner Team. A background in SaaS, fintech, AI/ML platforms, or B2B software business development is strongly preferred.

- Own the full partnership lifecycle: prospecting, outreach, pitching, commercial terms negotiation (pay-for-performance, revenue share, enterprise licensing, or non-monetary models), implementation support, and partner performance optimization & growth
- Scope and shape partner integration paths: Work cross functionally with product and engineering to tie partner requirements into standard integration paths and partner roadmap growth
- Track and report against distribution partner KPIs: Track acquisition metrics against goals, installation and conversion volumes and rates, impacts on user retention rates, as well as revenue and add-on sales data
- Mark the Market: Monitor the competitive landscape of legal AI and legal tech partnership developments and programs to inform partner prioritization and positioning
- Represent Rocket Lawyer: with partners, at industry events, and within developer and AI/MCP ecosystem communities to build pipeline and brand presence.
