Global Readiness Program Manager

USA - Hoboken, NJ; USA - Sandy, UT

At NiCE, we don’t limit our challenges. We challenge our limits. Always. We’re ambitious. We’re game changers. And we play to win. We set the highest standards and execute beyond them. And if you’re like us, we can offer you the ultimate career opportunity that will light a fire within you.

So, what’s the role all about?

The Partner Readiness Program Manager operates and optimizes the operating rhythm for enabling NICE partners to sell and deliver high-quality implementations. This role owns partner training prioritization, ensures enablement assets are aligned to partner needs and segments, and partners with Professional Services, Product, Partner Success, and Sales to verify that partner-led implementations meet NICE quality standards. The Program Manager tracks readiness progress across technical and sales pathways, identifies gaps, and continuously streamlines the partner training experience so partners can become productive faster with less NICE dependency.

How will you make an impact

  • Partner with the AI COE to run the partner AI readiness program end-to-end — tiered certification, intake workflows, escalation paths, and a champions community — so partners ship AI deployments without leaning on the COE
  • Own the single readiness dashboard that tells leadership exactly where every partner stands — by country, role, certification, and deployment — and deliver the scorecards that drive action
  • Build the quarterly coverage plan that decides where training investment goes, matching instructor-led capacity to revenue opportunity, pipeline gaps, and delivery risk across regions
  • Architect a modular, segment-specific curriculum (GSI, VAR, BPO, SI) with clear readiness tiers and built-in localization — so new content scales globally without starting from scratch
  • Set the bar for "partner-ready to implement," enforce readiness gates with PS and Partner Success, and close the loop by turning post-implementation findings into better training
  • Break down silos between PS, Product, and Sales Enablement to smooth post-sale handoffs through tighter deal hygiene, scoping standards, and SOW guidance
  • Run the operational engine — calendars, logistics, nominations, waitlists, capstone scoring, and feedback loops — with the rigor and SLAs of a scaled program
  • Drive partner sales readiness by coordinating practical certifications (pitch, discovery, demo, proposals) and packaging NICE sales plays for every partner motion and segment
  • Keep certified partners current through a regular release-readiness cadence covering new features, implementation guidance, and known pitfalls — co-delivered with Product and PS
  • Make sure partners always have the demo environments, sandboxes, and labs they need — ready when they need them — for both training and live pre-sales engagements

Have you got what it takes?

  • 5+ years in partner enablement, partner programs, sales enablement, or program management in B2B SaaS/enterprise software
  • Proven track record building training programs with measurable outcomes (curriculum governance, learning paths, certification, instructor-led delivery)
  • Strong operational rigor: prioritization frameworks, stakeholder management, and KPI reporting
  • Ability to package existing product and services knowledge into partner-ready enablement (playbooks, workshops, labs) in collaboration with SMEs
  • Cross-functional experience with Product, Professional Services, Sales, and Customer Success
  • Excellent communication skills; able to influence without authority across regions and functions

You will have an advantage if you also have:

  • Experience enabling channel partners, GSIs, or service providers to deliver implementations (including readiness gates and quality assurance)
  • Familiarity with LMS platforms, PRM tools, and building training/certification dashboards
  • Background in contact center, CX, CCaaS, and/or AI automation solutions
  • Experience running in-person bootcamps/workshops globally with regional capacity management

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

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.
