• Data Integrity Architecture: Own the single source of truth for the partner and vendor ecosystem. Supervise clean data ingestion, deduplication, and classification methodologies.
• Compliance & Data Privacy: Enforce rigorous data security policies governing how proprietary pipeline data is shared externally with partners.
• Systems Integration: Partner with SalesOps and IT to integrate data governance tooling across CRMs, partner portals, and third-party data intent engines.
• Reporting & Analytics: Build comprehensive dashboards mapping co-sell pipelines, partner source/influence revenue, attribution, and program ROI for executive presentations.
