The teams are in place. What's missing is the machine that makes it all repeatable, and the person obsessed with building it. This is a role for someone who chooses hard problems over safe ones, who sees an under-built operating system and can't help but fix it, and who measures success by whether the org around them got faster, sharper, and more capable. You sit at the center of how Partnerships executes: owning the planning cadences, performance frameworks, cross-functional machinery, and analytical infrastructure that lets a lean team manage a complex portfolio without losing speed or discipline. You'll work directly with the Head of Strategic Partnerships and lead the Operations team, translating direction into action and making sure nothing important falls between the cracks.

Educate and hold commercial teams accountable. • Build channel economics models. Separate reported from incremental revenue. Reprice terms against measured floors. Model unit economics and guide investment decisions. Your toolkit: Must haves: • 7-10+ years combining strategy and operations. Deep expertise in ops roles at marketplaces, platforms, or high-growth tech. The consulting foundation helps. The operational experience matters more. • Owned a revenue or GMV forecast and been measured on it.
