  • Always-On NB Program Design & Execution  Develop and enforce a structured Always-On NB activation framework, shifting partners from one-off activations toward scalable, repeatable growth programs.

  • Reseller Sales Enablement Build and deliver playbooks, training modules, and toolkits to strengthen reseller sales cycles, improving win-rates, deal sizes, and advertiser retention.

  • Cross-Market Consistency Standardize NB processes across 14 markets, ensuring alignment with activation models and replication of best practices.

  • Forecast & Reporting Accountability Consolidate, validate, and deliver quarterly NB forecasts with high reliability, reducing volatility and increasing leadership visibility.

  • Partner Performance Coaching Act as a trusted advisor to reseller NB teams, ensuring KPIs are defined, tracked, and achieved.

  • Vertical Play Development Identify and scale NB opportunities within priority verticals (Retail, Travel, Classifieds) aligned with global commercial priorities.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration Serve as the interface between Sales Enablement, Product, and Partner Management teams to ensure partners receive updated materials, training, and messaging.
