The opportunity
The Partnerships department operates in a fast-paced environment with a lean team. Key priorities arise from major events like SKO or Forge Partner Day, cross-functional initiatives, and urgent executive inquiries.
What you'll do
Workstream visibility. Maintain one view of cross-departmental initiatives:: owners, status, dependencies and risks, with Jira as the source of truth. Run regular check-ins that keep it honest, raise concerns before they become surprises, and give leadership a clear picture of what is moving and what is not.
Ad-hoc and flagship projects. Take projects from brief to delivery: agree scope and owners, build the plan, chase the dependencies, manage the timeline and run the follow-up.
Company moments such as SKO and Forge Partner Day. Support the Partnerships: contribution to events where the department is on stage. This may include working with leadership on the narrative and theme, briefing speakers, gathering content from pillar leads and coordinating with Marketing and Events.
Cross-functional initiatives. Drive initiatives that cut across teams and: need a single owner for delivery, such as moving a process from one team to another or launching a change that touches several pillars. Clarify who does what, keep the work moving and close it out properly.
Operating rhythm. Support the department's OKRs, monthly and quarterly: business reviews, quarterly narratives and monthly All Hands. Build the trackers and templates, chase inputs, prepare pre-reads and help run the sessions, so that leaders spend their time on decisions.
Communications and PR-FAQs. Support the cadence of department updates and the: PR-FAQ tracker for major launches, so that format, tone and timing stay consistent and status is honest.
