• Help govern partnership frameworks, including engagement models, reporting expectations, commercial alignment, and internal rules of engagement.
• Develop strong knowledge of each partner's business model, target segments, product strengths, geographic footprint, and competitive positioning.
• Surface market feedback and partner insights to Product and Proposition teams to help inform roadmap priorities and packaging opportunities.
• Maintain accurate partner records, opportunity visibility, and reporting disciplines across internal systems and team processes.
• Act as a cross-functional point of coordination to resolve issues, remove blockers, and improve the overall partner experience.

You Have:

• 5+ years of experience in partner management, channel management, business development, account management, or strategic alliances.
• Experience working in risk, compliance, financial crime, regulatory technology, data, SaaS, or B2B information services.
• Demonstrated success growing partner-led revenue and managing strategic external relationships.
• Strong commercial acumen with the ability to shape business cases, prioritize opportunities, and support complex deal structures.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to influence across internal and external groups.
