Learn more at risepoint.com.\nThe Impact You Will Make\nPartner Data Manager (PDM) is Risepoint's centralized database for partner and program information. It is also the mechanism through which Partner Support updates and distributes partner-facing content and resources organization-wide, giving teams one source of truth and helping ensure consistent messaging across Risepoint and with prospective and current students.\nAs Risepoint's business grows more dependent on PDM, this role ensures PDM evolves deliberately: anticipating business needs, prioritizing the right improvements (including user experience), and powering the transformation initiatives the business has prioritized. You will lead the business direction and roadmap for PDM, translating broader business priorities and the needs of Partner Support, Finance, Marketing, and other teams into a clear, prioritized roadmap. You'll partner closely with Business Technology's Product Owner, who leads technical delivery, while you own the business case, priorities, and the team that keeps PDM running reliably day to day.\nHow You Will Bring Our Mission to Life\nWhat You Will Do\nServe as the business owner for PDM, shaping its multi-year vision and translating Risepoint’s broader business and transformation priorities into a clear roadmap, priorities, and business requirements.\nRepresent the business voice in roadmap trade-off decisions when partnering with Business Technology.\nBuild and maintain a structured intake and prioritization process for enhancement requests, balancing transformation-critical work, UX improvements, compliance/audit needs, and operational fixes.\nDevelop business cases and value justifications (cost, risk, efficiency, user experience) for proposed PDM investments.\nIdentify UX friction points and data/functionality gaps across PDM users and champion improvements through the roadmap\nServe as the primary point of accountability for PDM within Partner Support, representing its capabilities, constraints, and roadmap to leadership.\nAct as liaison to Business Technology on all PDM-related initiatives, escalating and resolving cross-functional roadblocks.\nMaintain a cross-functional view of how PDM connects to adjacent systems and processes, anticipating ripple effects of a given change rather than evaluating each request in isolation.\nOwn post-release follow-through - checking that changes landed as intended, gathering feedback from affected teams, and feeding lessons learned back into how future changes are scoped and rolled out.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nA prioritized, business-aligned PDM roadmap is in place and jointly owned with Business Technology's Product Owner.\nEnhancement requests move through a clear intake and prioritization process\nKey UX pain points and data/functionality gaps for PDM users have been identified and are being actively addressed.\nMajor PDM releases land with minimal disruption because affected teams were identified, informed, and prepared in advance.\nundefined\nPercentage of roadmap items entering Business Technology's backlog with a validated business case, clear priority, and defined success criteria.\nBreadth of cross-functional input into the roadmap - how many departments actively contribute needs and priorities each planning cycle.\nStakeholder confidence - feedback from department heads and business leaders that their needs are understood and genuinely reflected in the roadmap\nWhat You’ll Bring to the Team\nExperience That Matters Mos t\n8+ years of experience in business systems, enterprise application management, or product/program leadership, including 3+ years in a director-level or equivalent strategic leadership role.\nDemonstrated experience owning a roadmap or product strategy for a business-critical system, ideally in partnership with a separate technical/IT product or delivery team.\n5+ years of people leadership experience, including experience managing managers.\nExperience with business case development, prioritization frameworks, and cross-functional stakeholder management at the executive level.\nExperience That’s Great to Have\nHigher education, ed-tech, or partner/affiliate-based business experience.\nExperience supporting or leading organizational transformation initiatives involving technology systems.\nRisepoint is an equal-opportunity employer and supports a diverse and inclusive workforce.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4980,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":8,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Sales & Marketing","Higher Education","E-learning","Lead Generation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-09T20:22:20Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"US","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"H-1B filings in 12 months: 1","filings_12m":1,"filings_prev_12m":1,"green_card_filings_12m":0,"median_offered_wage_usd":157500,"route":null,"cap_exempt":false,"checked_at":"2026-10-15T11:24:14+00:00","sources":["US Department of Labor: LCA disclosure data (H-1B, H-1B1, E-3)"],"filings_for_role_12m":0}],"liveness":{"score":90,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.903,"p_room":1,"age_days":7,"expected_fill_days":32,"reasons":["conf:3","velocity","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-10-17T05:46:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/risepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/risepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-18T09:05:48Z","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":13579,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-19T00:00:00Z"}},"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":5041},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=5041"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Frisepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations"},{"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%2Frisepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations"},{"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%2Frisepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations"},{"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/risepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Frisepoint-director-pdm-planning-operations"}]}
