Full Job Description
So, what's the role all about?

The Global Partner Program Manager drives the next phase of an established, global partner program spanning multiple partner types and routes-to-market. This role is accountable for program evolution and operational excellence: clarifying program mechanics, improving partner experience and adoption, tightening governance, and building a consistent global operating rhythm across regions and functions. You will work cross-functionally with Partner Sales/Alliances, Marketing, Enablement, Operations, Product, Finance, and Systems teams to ensure the program is measurable, scalable, and repeatable, with clear KPIs and strong execution discipline.

How will you make an impact
  • Own and continuously improve the partner program framework (tiers/levels, benefits, requirements, rules of engagement, lifecycle milestones), including program documentation and decisioning-ensuring clarity on what changes, why, who approves, and how it rolls out globally
  • Build and run the program's global operating cadence (QBR/MBR inputs, monthly updates, enablement drops, partner communications calendar)
  • Partner with regional leaders to balance global consistency with regional execution flexibility
  • Improve partner onboarding and activation by creating repeatable playbooks, checklists, and readiness milestones-and build feedback loops (surveys, partner councils, regional listening) to translate partner insights into program improvements
  • Map current-to-future-state processes and remove friction through workflow redesign and automation of partner program operations (intake, approvals, entitlement requests, program changes)
  • Ensure the program is supported by strong systems and data (CRM/PRM alignment, reporting hygiene, scalable workflows)
  • Build toolkits and templates that enable scale (FAQs, partner-facing guides, internal playbooks, global comms templates)
  • Evolve and operationalize partner incentives and funding mechanisms (e.g., MDF frameworks, compliance, measurement, and governance) in partnership with Marketing/Finance, ensuring auditable processes and best practices for program investment
  • Establish program success metrics and build a performance narrative-adoption, activation, engagement, revenue efficiency-tailored by partner type and region, and produce clear executive-ready updates with insights and actions

Have you got what it takes?
  • 8+ years of experience in partner programs, alliances operations, or ecosystem program management in B2B technology
  • Demonstrated success improving and scaling an existing program-not just launching a new one-including governance, enablement, execution, and operational rigor
  • Strong cross-functional leadership in matrixed environments; able to drive alignment across Sales, Marketing, Enablement, Operations, Product, Finance, and Systems teams
  • Data-driven operator with comfort building KPIs, dashboards, and using performance insights to change program behavior
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate complexity into clear program guidance and executive updates
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a passion for continuous optimization through data and insights

You will have an advantage if you also have:
  • Experience spanning multiple partner motions (sell-with, sell-through, referral, services-led ecosystems)
  • Familiarity with MDF or partner investment governance and measurement
  • Experience with PRM/CRM tooling, workflow automation, and process mapping at scale
  • International/global operating experience across regions and time zones
