With this portfolio, your responsibility will be to create executive alignment with all partners, turning the relationship into a consistent pipeline and revenue. Reporting to the Manager, Partnerships, you'll own partner engagement, enablement, and go-to-market strategy for a defined set of partners, while collaborating closely with Sales, Growth, and Marketing teams. This role may require up to 30% travel within your assigned territory.
