Senior Manager in our Software Portfolio Organization, reporting to the Executive Director of Software Portfolio and working alongside our ELERA Portfolio Owners and Product Managers. You will own ELERA Channel, the business vertical that takes our retail commerce suite to market through a curated network of global business partners.
You will have the charter for building out that packaging and establishing the necessary partnerships to sell and deliver it, as well as commercial accountability for the resulting revenue to come of it.
Responsibilities- Own the business outcome for channel and partner-sourced revenue - the targets, the pipeline, and the results - and report against them in portfolio business reviews.
- Define and own our packaged ELERA channel offering: what it includes, who it is built for, and the standards that keep it repeatable as partners take it to market.
- Build the partner program end to end - recruitment, qualification, onboarding, certification, and ongoing enablement - so that partners can sell and deliver ELERA without us in the room.
- Recruit and develop business partners who extend our reach and our capacity: regional experts, implementation partners, systems integrators, resellers, and software partners.
- Own the commercial model underneath the ecosystem - partner pricing, margin structure, revenue share, and the terms that make the business work for both sides.
- Define what partners need in order to succeed independently: enablement materials, training, reference architectures, deployment guidance, and the playbooks that make a first engagement repeatable as a tenth.
- Charter new solutions through our funnel - concept, prototype, build, delivery, and lifecycle - and carry the backlog for the offerings you own.
- Work across sales, marketing, services, and product to make the partner motion work internally, including where it intersects our direct business.
- Carry market signal back into the portfolio. Channel customers will surface real product needs, and you will be the one who recognizes which of them the product should answer.
- Expand ELERA into new geographies through partners, beginning with Latin America, building on the practice and reference customers our portfolio team establishes.
- Represent the channel and partner business to partners, to retailers, and to our executive team - articulating the position, defending it, and negotiating to an outcome.
