Global Managed Service Program Lead

THE ROLE

We are seeking a strategic and execution-oriented leader to own Everpures global Managed Service Program end to end. This role is responsible for designing how the managed service motion operates within the Everpure partner ecosystem and then making that design real. You will own not just the strategy, but the outcomes.

The Managed Service Program is defined by the sales motion, not by partner type. This role owns the program for how any partner regardless of their business model sells through a managed service motion, including the requirements, tiers, and benefits of doing so. As the Global Managed Service Program Lead, you will define the structure, economics, and operating model for the managed service motion, maintain the multi-year roadmap, and be fully accountable for designing the program, driving its operationalization, ensuring field adoption, and measuring its effectiveness. As managed service motions increasingly shape how customers consume and renew technology, this role carries direct responsibility for ensuring Everpures managed service offer is differentiated, profitable, and built to scale. Strategy without execution is not enough in this role.

Relationship management in the field is owned by Partner Account Managers (PAMs), who report into the GPO Theater Leaders; this role partners closely with those PAMs and Theater Leaders but does not carry direct relationship ownership.

You will operate within the overall Global Partner Program Center of Excellence and as part of a coordinated system, not an independent program. You will translate strategy into a program that works in the field and delivers measurable outcomes. You will work closely with PAMs, GPO Theater Leaders, Partner Sales Managers (PSMs), Finance, Channel Ops, Marketing, Enablement, and Sales leadership to ensure the program reflects how partners sell, deliver, and scale through the managed service motion and that it drives the behaviors aligned to Everpures growth priorities.

Cross-Functional Alignment

• Serve as the primary managed service program point of contact across Sales, Finance, Channel Ops, Marketing, Legal, and Enablement
• Align stakeholders on managed service program priorities, tradeoffs, and decisions, and simplify complex requirements into clear direction for execution
• We are primarily an in-office environment and therefore, you will be expected to work from the Santa Clara office in compliance with Everpure's policies, unless you are on PTO, or work travel, or other approved leave.

WHAT YOU BRING
