Working across regional channel teams, partner operations, enablement, and marketing, you will create scalable activation programs that accelerate partner readiness, drive engagement with enablement resources, and improve partner time-to-value.

This role offers the opportunity to shape how partners engage, learn, and become productive across a global ecosystem. You will have meaningful ownership of the partner activation experience and work with teams across the business to build programs that scale. With a focus on but not limited to:

Partner Activation & Onboarding
  • Own partner activation campaigns across the recruit-to-activate journey.
  • Design and manage onboarding journeys that help new partners become productive more quickly.
  • Coordinate global activation campaigns and onboarding programs from planning through execution.
  • Partner with regional teams to adapt and deliver activation programs for local needs.
  • Build scalable onboarding frameworks, playbooks, and campaign journeys that support partner activation across multiple partner types and regions.
  • Partner with operations teams to optimize activation workflows, automate engagement programs, and improve the overall partner onboarding experience.

Online Partner Enablement

  • Build and maintain scalable, self-service enablement resources.
  • Drive partner engagement with enablement content, learning pathways, and certifications.
  • Collaborate with Product Marketing and Content teams to keep partner-facing assets current and relevant.

Measurement & Optimization
  • Define and track activation metrics including onboarding engagement, enablement adoption, partner activation rates and time-to-productivity metrics.
  • Test and refine activation campaigns, onboarding journeys, and digital experiences based on performance insights.
  • Share clear performance reporting, recommendations, and areas of opportunity with leadership.
  • Use data and partner feedback to identify friction points and continuously improve activation experiences.

Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Align with Partner Program Operations on the workflows that support partner activation.
  • Work across Channel, Marketing, Enablement, Operations, and regional teams to deliver a consistent partner experience.
  • Serve as the central coordinator for global partner activation initiatives, aligning stakeholders across channel marketing, partner operations, enablement, product marketing, and regional teams.


How Success Will Be Measured

Success in this role will be measured through improvements in partner activation, faster time-to-productivity, increased onboarding completion, greater adoption of enablement resources and certifications, and consistent delivery of high-quality activation campaigns. The ideal candidate will help build scalable programs that enable partners to engage more quickly, access the right resources, and achieve value faster.

Qualifications:
  • Experience in channel marketing, partner programs, partner enablement, lifecycle marketing, customer onboarding, or a related field.

  • Strong program and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and stakeholders.
