  • Lead QBR reporting and develop executive-ready summaries for senior leadership.
  • Ensure programs remain aligned with corporate growth, profitability, and margin objectives.
  • Lead global, cross-functional working groups across Sales, Marketing, Finance, Business Operations, and Product to drive alignment and approvals for program changes and pilot initiatives.

  • Develop and deliver enablement content supporting program launches and updates.
  • Lead ongoing improvements to Partner Enablement programs.
  • Drive adoption across regional sales leaders and partner-facing teams.
  • Build structured communication and readiness plans to ensure clarity and consistent global execution.
