You will inspire the internal and crossfunctional teams on the opportunity of partners, ensure their support, and enable partners to find success as an extension of our core sales teams. You have incredible sales acumen, a relentless bias toward action, and will continue to look for opportunities to expand or grow even faster with our partners. You want to win and keep your partners accountable to sales targets. Your team leads every aspect of these partnerships, including contract negotiation, partner education, day-to-day vendor management, process creation, and scaling to new channel partners - all with the goal of increasing our international ads revenue
