- Design and run internal enablement programs so that GTM teams (AEs, CSMs, BDMs, SEs) clearly understand partner processes, value propositions, and how to effectively co-sell and co-deliver with partners.
- Collaborate with finance and legal to streamline Master Partner Agreement, order forms, rebates / commission, and MDF / benefits processes for partners, ensuring compliance and operational accuracy.
- Work closely with marketing, product, and GTM teams to ensure program communications, assets, and processes are accurate, timely, and effectively delivered.
- Establish a regular cadence of operational reviews with key partners and internal stakeholders, using data-driven insights to improve partner performance and engagement.
- Continuously evaluate and refine partner processes, tools, and systems to reduce friction, improve partner experience, and support global scale.
