Director, Partner Operations

United States (Remote)

About Glean:

Founded in 2019, Glean is an innovative AI-powered knowledge management platform designed to help organizations quickly find, organize, and share information across their teams. By integrating seamlessly with tools like Google Drive, Slack, and Microsoft Teams, Glean ensures employees can access the right knowledge at the right time, boosting productivity and collaboration. The company’s cutting-edge AI technology simplifies knowledge discovery, making it faster and more efficient for teams to leverage their collective intelligence.

Glean was born from Founder & CEO Arvind Jain’s deep understanding of the challenges employees face in finding and understanding information at work. Seeing firsthand how fragmented knowledge and sprawling SaaS tools made it difficult to stay productive, he set out to build a better way - an AI-powered enterprise search platform that helps people quickly and intuitively access the information they need. Since then, Glean has evolved into the leading Work AI platform, combining enterprise-grade search, an AI assistant, and powerful application- and agent-building capabilities to fundamentally redefine how employees work.

  • Streamline partner program processes by implementing AI-driven automation (e.g., deal registration, query resolution) ensuring operational excellence and scalability.
  • Enable partner-led revenue growth by developing real-time dashboards and reports, to track partner contributions and support data-driven decision-making.
  • Manage partner tiering frameworks, incentive models, and annual planning processes, including headcount and territory design, ensuring equitable coverage and governance in partnership with Field Operations.
  • Partner with Sales, Marketing, Post Sales, Product, and GTM Operations to execute cross-functional initiatives, such as new market entry, vertical expansion, and co-marketing campaigns, fostering seamless program execution.
  • Act as the escalation point for critical partner operational issues, resolving challenges and aligning with Glean’s broader GTM strategy to scale strategic alliances, per industry best practices.
  • Lead and mentor junior team members, serving as a thought partner to partner program leaders and communicating strategies to executive leadership, driving continuous improvement in partner operations.

About You:

  • 10+ years of experience in partner/channel operations, GTM strategy, revenue operations, or management consulting, with significant exposure to partner programs (agency, tech, or strategic alliances) in high-growth SaaS or AI technology companies.
  • Strong understanding of partner ecosystem dynamics, business metrics, and best practices for driving partner-led growth, with expertise in pipeline management, contract negotiation, and co-selling frameworks.
  • Proven ability to manage complex projects and influence cross-functional stakeholders, balancing strategic vision with hands-on execution, as demonstrated in fast-paced environments.
  • Exceptional analytical skills, with proficiency in Salesforce, partner relationship management (PRM) platforms (e.g., Impartner, PartnerStack), and business intelligence tools (e.g., Sigma, Tableau) to turn data into actionable insights.
  • Excellent communication and presentation skills, with experience engaging senior and executive-level stakeholders, delivering clear strategies and recommendations aligned with Command of the Message.
  • Ability to thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment, navigating ambiguity, adapting to shifting priorities, and driving scalable solutions independently.
  • Comfortable leveraging AI-driven tools (e.g., AI agents for automation) and staying informed on industry trends, competitive dynamics, and best practices to ensure Glean’s partner ecosystem remains best-in-class.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Economics, or a related field; MBA or equivalent experience is a plus.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
