You will own the entire deal lifecycle, from opportunity identification and strategic positioning through negotiation, contract signature, and launch. Working closely with Leadership and cross-functional teams including Commercial, Finance, Legal, Product, Operations, and Local Markets, you will ensure each partnership is set up for long-term success before handing it over for ongoing management.

Own commercial structuring, deal economics, and contractual alignment in partnership with Finance and Legal.
• Expansion & Market Entry Enablement: Work closely with Expansion and local leadership to design and execute market entry strategies for enterprise partners. Ensure that expansion deals are commercially sound, operationally feasible, and launch-ready before market activation.
• Cross-Functional Deal Leadership: Act as the central deal owner coordinating Product, Tech, Legal, Finance, Operations, Expansion, and Markets to remove blockers, align dependencies, and accelerate time-to-market. Drive clarity on ownership, timelines, and decision points throughout the deal lifecycle.
• Launch Management & Handover: Oversee partner launch and first 12 months performance against agreed deal assumptions. Define success criteria and ensure a clean, structured handover to Account Management teams within the first 12 months of the deal.
