Sr. Analyst, Strategic Partner Operations

Key Responsibilities

External Partner Relationship & Strategic Alignment

• Serve as the primary Pre-Buy contact for the company's largest GSI — trusted by partner operations leads, finance teams, and executive stakeholders as the go-to for deal structure, exceptions, and escalations

• Own the weekly operating cadence: burndown reviews, pipeline calls, and exception handling across all GEOs with full partner visibility into inventory, deal status, and quarter-end risk

• Balance partner advocacy with internal compliance — protecting partnership health while ensuring Pre-Buy motions meet revenue recognition, compensation, and policy requirements

Pre-Buy Program Management & GTM Execution

• Own end-to-end Pre-Buy execution working cross functionally as a project management removing barriers and providing escalation points: Reviewer (not owner) of inventory tracking, burndown processing, OPTY validation, add-backs, swaps, and leftover reconciliation across both active contracts

• Produce weekly reporting for executive readouts — PPC burndown by GEO and forecast stage (Commit / Expect / Upside / Pre-Pipeline), closed transactions, and remaining inventory with bridge normalization

• Proactively identify slow-burn patterns, stranded inventory, and expiration risks; surface to leadership with context and recommended action before they escalate

Sales Strategy & Channel Enablement

• Partner with GPLs GPS, and GPMs to identify pipeline opportunities that can be accelerated through the Pre-Buy motion — operating as a strategic sales partner, not a processor

• Own field enablement with sales and the partner: playbooks, burndown SOPs, and partner-facing reference materials that reduce recurring questions and speed deal execution

• Serve as the first escalation point for field issues — mis-bookings, policy gray areas, comp disputes — resolving or packaging for leadership with a clear recommendation

Cross-Functional Orchestration & Governance

• Coordinate across Deal Desk, Revenue Operations, Finance, Legal, and Comp to drive clean approvals and maintain a single source of truth for all Pre-Buy and LOI decisions

• Own LOI governance: interpret contract language, translate into booking and comp guidance, and prevent LOI actions from triggering unintended downsell or GRR distortion

• Prepare executive-ready materials — business cases, risk flags, approval tracking, and QBR packages — for the PreBuy Committee and senior leadership

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years in Channel Sales, Partner Operations, GTM Operations, or Sales Strategy in global enterprise SaaS

• Direct experience working with or within a large GSI or strategic channel partner — understands how GSIs structure deals, allocate budgets, and consume licenses

• Strong program management discipline: runs multi-stakeholder programs with clear milestones and exec visibility without hand-holding

• Self-starter with a track record of stepping into ambiguity, diagnosing what's broken, and building durable process independently

• Experience owning channel sales motions: deal intake, pipeline forecasting, compensation treatment, and partner-facing reporting cadences

• Comfort with enterprise SaaS deal mechanics: NNACV/ACV, GRR/NRR, revenue bridge normalization, and crediting models

• Ability to influence across Finance, Legal, Deal Desk, and Comp without direct authority

• Operates with calm urgency in high-stakes, quarter-end environments with competing priorities

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with prepaid, or inventory-based GTM models; familiarity with burndown accounting and OPTY reconciliation mechanics

• Prior experience supporting a large GSI relationship (Cognizant, Infosys,) at global scale

• Proficiency with Salesforce, Power BI, and advanced Excel for operational reporting
