Lead governance and compliance for the Global Partner Program to ensure disciplined and consistent operations.

Обязанности

We are seeking a disciplined, systems-thinker to own the operating model that holds the Global Partner Program Center of Excellence together. This role is the backbone of how Everpure’s partner programs function at scale — ensuring that every program element is governed consistently, compliance is enforced rigorously, and the policies that guide exception decisions are clear, documented, and applied uniformly.
As Senior Program Governance & Compliance Manager, you will define and maintain the frameworks, policies, and processes that enable the rest of the program team to operate with discipline and confidence. You will not own readiness for each program area — that accountability sits with each program lead — but you will own the governance structure that ensures readiness is defined, measurable, and enforced.
You will work closely with the Resale, Managed Service, and Distribution program leads, as well as Channel Ops, Finance, Legal, and Sales leadership to ensure the partner program operates as a unified, compliant, and auditable system.
This role operates within the overall Global Partner Program Center of Excellence and is expected to operate as part of a coordinated system, not an independent program. You will be accountable for the governance structure and processes that enable consistent and scalable program execution. While you will manage the exception intake, review, and tracking process, final approval authority for program exceptions resides with the Director, Partner Program.
