• Work with Product, Services and regional teams to define engagement journeys, customer propositions and utilisation levers for partner solutions.
• Monitor utilisation patterns, regional feedback and performance insights to identify opportunities to improve SME customer engagement.
• Support measurable increases in activation and usage by turning insights into repeatable improvement actions. 4. Partner Performance Management & Growth • Support executive partner governance by preparing business review materials, performance packs, growth plans and issue logs.
• Contribute to joint partner growth plans by coordinating inputs from regions, Product, Services and commercial teams.
• Track partner performance against agreed adoption, utilisation and commercial objectives.
• Identify opportunities to deepen partner value, improve deployment effectiveness and scale successful use cases across markets. 5. Regional Enablement & Best-Practice Management • Act as a hands-on enablement lead for regional Product, SME Business Development and Account Management teams.
• Create and maintain GTM playbooks, partner briefs, issuer-facing materials, internal guidance and adoption toolkits.
• Coordinate communities of practice, regional feedback loops and best-practice sharing around partner-led SME growth.
• Ensure learnings from regional execution are codified into scalable global frameworks. 6. Performance Reporting, Governance & Insights • Build and maintain adoption reporting mechanisms, dashboards and governance routines that provide visibility across partner solutions and regions.
• Consolidate regional performance inputs and translate them into clear insights, risks, actions and recommendations for the VP.
• Support quarterly business reviews, partner governance forums and internal stakeholder updates.
• Ensure performance measures are consistently defined and used across partner management and GTM activity. 7. Stakeholder Coordination & Matrix Leadership • Coordinate across Product, Sales, Services, SME Business Development, Account Management and regional teams to support aligned execution.
• Drive follow-through on agreed actions, dependencies and priorities across cross-functional teams.
• Represent the global partner management and GTM function in working-level forums and regional planning discussions.
• Escalate strategic trade-offs, resource constraints and material execution risks to the VP with clear options and recommendations. Experience & Capabilities • Strong experience in partnership management, go-to-market execution, business development, product commercialisation or ecosystem growth.
• Demonstrated ability to turn strategy into scalable operating models, enablement materials and practical execution plans.
• Experience working across product, sales, account management, services and regional organisations in a matrixed environment.
• Strong commercial judgement, performance orientation and ability to use data to identify adoption opportunities and execution barriers.
• Credibility with internal stakeholders and external partners, with the ability to influence without direct authority.
• Understanding of issuer, SME and fintech ecosystems, including the commercial drivers behind SME customer engagement and solution utilisation.
• Strong written communication, structured problem-solving and senior stakeholder briefing capabilities. Success Measures • Quality and adoption of GTM playbooks, launch models, issuer activation frameworks and enablement materials.
• Number and percentage of priority issuers progressing through defined partner-solution activation stages.
• Growth in issuer portfolio penetration, SME customer activation, utilisation and engagement for partner solutions.
