The opportunity:
Flexport’s growth will be fueled primarily by growing a world-first global ecosystem of partners that will work with us to fuel demand and be responsible for high-quality execution.
As our ecosystem matures and Flexport’s global expansion accelerates, we will need to bring our partner sourcing and management to the next level! In this truly global role you will lead a team of regional managers working across the company and directly with partners identifying improvement opportunities and launching and leading initiatives to address them.
Additionally, you will have the opportunity to shape our strategy and influence the direction of this ecosystem, the tech we develop and the deals we sign with our partners.
You will:
- Design, launch and implement cross-functional performance improvement initiatives
- Help bring current partner management tools and processes to the next level of sophistication by assessing status quo, gaps and opportunities in process, standardization of best practices and tech / automation
- Develop and implement a holistic partner risk and strategy review cadence and process to proactively manage partnerships in order to ensure the highest level of quality for Flexport clients
- Collaborate with other Partner initiatives as part of the Partner leadership team (e.g. collectively bringing the vision of the broader partner ecosystem to life)
- Help establish a culture of try and error, launching pilots and gleaning best practices and learnings to be standardized as opposed to “designing in the lab” .
You should have:
- Strong mix of industry and strategic experience
- Very strong collaboration and communications skills and ability to influence teams and individuals with no formal mandate and conflict resolution skills to solve tradeoffs in a data driven way with a win-win mentality
- Experience in go to market strategy
- Hands-on experience in Tech/ software and data visualization- intelligence tool development
- A "compliance first" attitude to keep our regulators happy and enthusiastic about Flexport since we operate in a heavily regulated industry.
