Partnership Strategy & Operations Manager

Proximus Global is seeking a highly driven Partnership

Strategy & Operations Manager to support the execution of our most

strategic global partnerships and partner-led growth initiatives.

This role will work directly with the VP of Partnerships and

serve as the connective tissue across a broad range of high-priority

initiatives involving Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, Sales, Marketing,

Operations, and external partners.

Our strategic partnerships increasingly involve complex,

cross-functional launches that span multiple business units and require

coordination across both internal and external stakeholders.

The ideal candidate is more than a traditional project

manager. We are looking for someone who can take an ambiguous strategic

objective, translate it into a clear execution plan, identify dependencies and

decision points, drive accountability across stakeholders, and keep initiatives

moving without requiring constant direction.

This person will effectively operate as an extension of the

VP of Partnerships, helping ensure that strategic priorities translate into

execution.

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 6-12 months, this

person will have:

• Established a

  clear operating cadence across the Partnerships organization's most

  important initiatives.

• Created

  transparency around ownership, milestones, risks, dependencies, and

  decisions.

• Significantly

  reduced the amount of day-to-day project coordination required from the VP

  of Partnerships.

• Accelerated

  launches by proactively resolving blockers and driving cross-functional

  accountability.

• Built

  credibility across senior stakeholders as someone who can be trusted to

  move complex initiatives forward.

• Developed

  repeatable processes that allow Proximus Global to manage a growing

  portfolio of strategic partnerships on a scale.

The Profile We're Looking For

You may be a

strong fit if you are the person who naturally walks out of a meeting

thinking:

• What did we actually decide? Who owns each action? What could

  prevent this from launching? And what needs to happen next?

• You are

  comfortable entering situations where the answer is not obvious, creating

  structure where none exists, and driving a diverse group of stakeholders

  toward a common outcome.

• You don't wait

  for someone to tell you the next step.

• You figure out

  what the next step should be, and make sure it happens.
