Getting that partner to steady, high-quality output takes onboarding, training, hardware, support, and reporting, and every step has to run on time.\nAs Partnership Operations Manager, you will own that path for our regional partnership leads so they can focus on finding and signing partners. This is a new function, so you will set the standards and tooling yourself and make them repeatable across regions.\nWhat You Will Do\nDeal support: Prepare proposals and agreements from approved templates and keep a clean record of every partner’s rates, volumes, and term dates.\n\nOnboarding: Set partners up on the platform, issue devices and accounts, and train their teams on capture standards so they reach full output quickly.\n\nHardware: Manage device allocation, tracking, replacements, and returns with our hardware and logistics teams, and keep inventory records accurate.\n\nPartner support: Be the first point of contact for partners, and run the support channel to clear service levels. Resolve problems yourself or route them to product, engineering, or finance before capture is disrupted, and pass on what partners need from the platform and devices.\n\nPerformance and reporting: Monitor daily performance and quality across partners, including recorded, approved, and deliverable hours, recording counts, and QA rejection rates. Act when numbers slip, and raise anything commercial with the partner’s regional lead. Keep scorecards, business reviews, and the data behind them current.\n\nPayments: Own partner payments and reconciliation, making sure hours are approved correctly and paid accurately and on time.\n\nPlaybook: Build and improve the processes, checklists, and tools that keep partner operations running as the network grows.\n\nWhat You Bring\nExperience: 3 to 5+ years in partner or vendor operations, supply or merchant onboarding, business operations, program or project management, or account management, ideally at a high-growth marketplace, delivery, or BPO company.\n\nExecution: A record of running many partner launches at once across time zones, with clear process and tight follow-up.\n\nOrganization: Highly organized and detail-focused, able to manage many partners and tasks at once without letting things slip.\n\nAI fluency: You use AI tools in your day-to-day work to pull and analyze data, draft partner communications, and streamline your own processes.\n\nProblem solving: A practical problem-solver who stays calm under pressure and sees problems through to resolution.\n\nRelationships: Strong interpersonal skills. You work well with both partners and internal teams.\n\nAgency: A high degree of initiative and comfort with ambiguity. This is an early and unstructured role, so you will set your own priorities, work without an established playbook, and build processes where none yet exists.\n\nEven better if you have\nIndustry: Background in data collection, AI training data, or BPO services.\n\nField deployment: Experience with device deployment and inventory tracking across partner sites.\n\nMulti-country: Experience running partner operations across several countries and time zones.\n\nLanguages: Working fluency in one or more of our regions’ main business languages, alongside professional English.\n\nIf you don't check every box above but believe you can do the job, we encourage you to apply - we're looking for capability and trajectory, not a perfect checklist match.\nWe strive to create an inclusive work environment for all; we welcome applicants from all backgrounds and are committed to providing equal opportunities. Should you require any accommodations during the recruitment process, we will partner with you to meet your needs.\nWe may use AI-assisted tools to help evaluate applications against the requirements of this role. These tools support our recruiting team in identifying qualified candidates but do not replace human judgment or limit which applications may be reviewed or considered.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4431,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Training Data & Annotation","Synthetic Data"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-01T00:12:15Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":4,"expected_fill_days":33,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early","comp:remote,attention"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":100000,"is_top_pay":false},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mecka-partner-operations-manager","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mecka-partner-operations-manager.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T03:56:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":6692,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":678757},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=678757"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmecka-partner-operations-manager"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmecka-partner-operations-manager"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmecka-partner-operations-manager"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mecka-partner-operations-manager\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmecka-partner-operations-manager"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3578488}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mecka.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3578488},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
