  • Analyze and Optimize : Track and report on partnership performance, using data to identify new opportunities and optimize existing programs.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration : Serve as the internal voice of the partner, collaborating with Intercom teams in product, engineering, sales, and marketing to ensure partner needs are met and new opportunities are fully leveraged.

What skills do I need?
