• Optimize the Partner Experience: Lead and refine core partner onboarding pathways, lifecycle touchpoints, and support workflows to deliver a seamless, world‑class journey for external ecosystems.
• Accelerate Partner Revenue Mechanics: Build and execute operational frameworks that eliminate transaction friction, streamline incentive administration, and maximize partner‑sourced revenue pipelines.
• Manage Technology & Vendor Capabilities: Serve as a strategic owner for key components of our partner tech stack and vendor relationships, ensuring our data models and tools are optimized for ecosystem scale rather than mere maintenance.
• Orchestrate High‑Touch Communications: Develop and execute comprehensive partner engagement strategies, ensuring clear, accessible program documentation, impactful updates, and consistent enablement communications across all segments.
• Lead Cross‑Functional Project Execution: Develop and run end‑to‑end project plans for new partner initiatives, collaborating closely with Product, Marketing, Sales, Legal, and Tech teams to ensure alignment and timely milestone delivery.
