Sitting at the intersection of partner strategy, process design, and technology execution, you will partner closely with Channel Sales, Sales Operations, Partner Marketing, and Enablement to improve partner-facing and internal processes, drive adoption, and deliver measurable outcomes across key channel motions.

- Build and lead a high-performing team focused on professional development, collaboration, and driving innovation in the partner ecosystem
Who You Are (Success Profile)

- You are customer-obsessed, building deep empathy for both internal and external customers and anchoring your decisions in solving their real-world problems from start to finish.
- You operate with urgency, understanding that speed and quality are not mutually exclusive, and bringing a relentless focus on execution and a bias for action to deliver high-impact results quickly.
- You think at scale, connecting your day-to-day work to the larger company mission while building solutions, processes, and teams that are built to last and support a high-growth, global organization.

- 2+ years managing and developing a team (direct and/or matrix), ideally 2–5 members, including experience setting priorities, coaching, and performance management
- 5+ years of hands-on Salesforce experience, including complex automation and data model understanding
- Demonstrated ability to set a roadmap, manage a portfolio of enhancements, and measure outcomes such as adoption, cycle time, partner satisfaction, and pipeline impact
- Demonstrated success in using automation and analytics to enhance partner processes
What Will Make You Stand Out (Preferred Qualifications)
