• Develop enablement materials, training sessions, and talk tracks tailored to each partner type

• Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and CS to develop referral-specific campaigns and activation programs

Relationship Management

• Translate Voice of Customer and partner feedback into actionable insights across product, process, and GTM
• Prepare and deliver materials for QBRs, business reviews, monthly highlights, and recurring partner meetings

Execution, Reporting & Cross-Functional Impact

• Own partner pipeline, conversion metrics, and revenue performance — report to leadership with clear, data-backed insights on a regular cadence
• Serve as the primary internal coordinator across Payments, Risk, Product, CX, and Marketing to unblock deals and resolve issues quickly
• Continuously iterate on the partner enablement playbook based on what's moving the needle — and proactively surface gaps and opportunities
