Senior Manager, Partners (Services CS)

The Services Customer Success team partners with our highest-value Mid-Market customers throughout their client journey. We take a consultative approach — guiding customers through early adoption, driving engagement, and connecting them to the innovations and features that move their business forward.

As the first Senior Manager to focus on Partners, you will build and own a new capability for our team: scaled service offerings delivered through outsourced partner organizations. You’ll manage the strategic relationship with 1-2 delivery partners, each staffing 40+ FTEs who are responsible for building deep customer relationships and ensuring long-term success on our behalf. As a visionary leader, you’ll design and execute strategic initiatives, scale operations efficiently, and foster a culture of excellence, collaboration, and innovation across teams you influence rather than directly manage. You’ll work across functions, influence key decision-makers, and drive game-changing customer engagement strategies through partner-delivered service models.

If you thrive in fast-moving, high-growth environments, and you’re ready to build a scaled services function from the ground up, this is your opportunity.
