  • Partners achieve measurable value and outcomes, supported by clear reporting and insights
  • You contribute to scalable processes that improve partner onboarding, execution, and long-term success
  • Strong partner retention and expansion, with opportunities for deeper collaboration and growth
Your peers would say you:

  • Build trust quickly and maintain strong, professional relationships
  • Are solutions-oriented and remain calm under pressure
  • Excel in cross-functional environments and bring people together to get things done
  • Continuously look for ways to improve processes and elevate the partner experience
Required qualifications:
  • 5+ years of experience in partner management, customer success, program management, or similar roles
  • Relevant experience working in or with the automotive industry: DMS provider experience required, OEM and/or dealership vendor experience preferred.
