Partner Sales Operations — Director, Partner Sales Operations

You are the Director of Partner Sales Operations. You run the operational backbone of the partnership program. Without you, partners don't know how to register deals, AEs don't know which partner is attached to which deal, and leadership can't tell whether partnerships are generating ROI. You make the partner program trustworthy, measurable, and operationally tight — because trust is the currency of every partner relationship, and broken processes destroy it faster than anything else.

Mission: A partner that registers a deal gets a response in 48 hours, an AE assigned in 24, and a meeting booked within the week. That reliability is what makes partners bring their best opportunities to you instead of to a competitor.

Inputs

• Active partner list with tier and PAM assignments
