THE ROLE

Were Everpurethe company reinventing storage and data management as a living system so organizations can unleash the power of their data in the AI era.

To fuel this next chapter, were looking for a Director, Planning and Performance for the Global Partner Organization who is equal parts strategist, operator, and change-maker.

The impact of this role will be significant. This person will help drive closer alignment and unity across the team, increase operating productivity, represent the Global Partner Organization in the right forums, and reduce the number of balls dropped by bringing stronger planning discipline, follow-through, and preparation into the business cadence.
