Overview
As Manager, Partner Program Operations, you will build and lead the team that runs GPP day to day: partner onboarding and lifecycle, tiering and incentives, tier-aware support, co-sell protection, and the governance that holds it all together. You will own the redefined Sales Ops remit for GPP — the single interface into Systems/Engineering, BRD and SOP ownership, incentive and automation design, and the unified operating rhythm that keeps Partner Program and Sales aligned. This is a ground-floor role: you will hire, coach, and grow a small team while standing up the operating model itself.
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
Build & Lead the Team: Hire, onboard, and manage a small mixed team of FTEs and contract workers; set priorities, coach for growth, and size the team against the GPP staffing model as scope scales.- Own GPP Operations End to End: Be accountable for all aspects of partner program operations — onboarding & lifecycle, performance & tiering, tier-aware support, co-sell & lead protection, benefits & incentives, and governance & exceptions — ensuring policy, process, and systems stay in lockstep.
- Redefine the Sales Ops Remit for GPP: Own the transition of steady-state technical execution from PMO to this team; be the single point of accountability for BRD/SOP ownership, incentive and automation design (wholesale billing, PRM mechanics, MDF), and the unified operating model.
- Program & Incentive Ops: Own the execution of partner tiering, segmentation, comp plans, and rules of engagement — operationalizing GPP even as supporting tooling catches up.
- Cross-Functional Partnership: Represent Partner Program Operations with GPP Program Design, Partner Sales, Data and Systems Engineering , Enablement, Finance, and Legal.
- Launch Readiness: Drive the team's execution against the Global Partner Program's launch and the ongoing migration of legacy partners onto the new platform.
Qualifications
Required Qualifications & Experience
- Operations Leadership: 7+ years of experience in Sales Operations, Revenue Operations, Program Management, Partner/Channel Operations, or a related field.
- People Management: 2+ years of people management experience, or demonstrated experience building and leading teams, contractors, or cross-functional programs.
- Zero-to-One Builder: Proven experience standing up or scaling an operations function from the ground up — process, systems, and team, in that order.
- Technical Fluency: Comfort owning technical/systems-adjacent scope (BRDs, PRM/CRM platforms, automation) without being an engineer — you translate between business and technical teams.
- Program Rigor: Strong analytical and program-management discipline — able to run a multi-workstream operating cadence (WBR/QBR) and hold cross-functional partners accountable.
- Executive Communication: Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with credibility to influence senior leaders (VP level and above) and engineering partners alike.
Preferred Qualifications
Direct experience with Global Partner Program-style tiered partner ecosystems (VAR, reseller, ISV, or developer programs).- Familiarity with PRM platforms (Salesforce PRM, Impartner, ZiftONE), incentive/compensation systems (Varicent), and deal-desk/quoting tools.
- Experience managing a blended team of FTEs and contract workers.
- Prior experience in a SaaS, fintech, or subscription business.
