Work cross-functionally with Sales, SE, Marketing, Operations, and Legal to simplify and scale partner processes such as deal registration, approvals, contracts, MDF and reporting.

Embed with the sales organization by aligning partners to territories, participating in key deal reviews and account planning, and ensuring partners feel like an extension of the Glean field teams.

Excellent communicator and influencer, comfortable presenting to executives, negotiating with partner leaders, and coaching partner sellers and SEs.
