• Support partner marketing operations, including review processes, approvals, reporting, and program logistics.
• Manage Marketing Development Fund (MDF) activities, including submissions, tracking, and coordination using established processes and tools.
• Track partner marketing KPIs, program performance, and ROI, using insights to improve future initiatives.
• Maintain accurate partner and program data within Salesforce and other marketing systems.
• Coordinate partner-related operational activities and payments through Zip.
• Support partner enablement by developing training materials and coordinating educational sessions.
• Build repeatable, scalable processes that improve execution as the cloud partner organization grows.

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of experience in partner marketing, channel marketing, alliance marketing, or a closely related role.
• Demonstrated experience managing multiple marketing programs and stakeholders simultaneously.
• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and operate independently with minimal supervision.
• Strong understanding of partner marketing fundamentals, including partner ecosystems, channel economics, partner journeys, and joint go-to-market programs.
• Hands-on experience with marketing technology and CRM platforms, particularly Salesforce.
• Experience working with marketing automation, analytics, project management, and collaboration tools.
• Strong organizational and project management skills with exceptional attention to detail.
• Proven ability to create scalable and repeatable marketing processes.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Data-driven approach to measuring program performance and optimizing against KPIs.
• Experience collaborating across Sales, Partnerships, Product, and Marketing organizations.
• Proficiency with Google Workspace and similar productivity and documentation platforms.

Preferred Qualifications
