As the Head of Partner Operations, you will build and own the operating system that allows Apollo's Partnerships business to scale. Sitting within Revenue Operations, you will be the connective tissue between partner strategy and the company-wide systems, data, processes, and commercial infrastructure that make partner motions work.

This is a high-leverage role at the intersection of Partnerships, Revenue Operations, Systems, Data, Finance, Legal. Partner Managers own relationships and execution; you own the operational infrastructure underneath them and you will help co-author our partner strategy. You'll establish the metrics and reporting that leadership uses to understand partner performance, architect the processes and systems that support different partner motions, and ensure the commercial mechanics behind those motions work reliably.

You'll operate across Apollo's technology, agency, integration, and strategic partner ecosystem. The goal isn't simply to make today's processes run better. It's to build a scalable Partner Operations function that can absorb new partner motions, eliminate operational friction, and give the business a clear understanding of where partnerships are creating revenue and where the model needs to evolve.

This is an opportunity to build a function, not inherit a playbook.

Partnerships is becoming an increasingly important part of Apollo's revenue ecosystem, but partner motions create a unique operational challenge: the work crosses organizational boundaries, the data often lives across multiple systems, and the right operating model changes as the business learns.

The Head of Partner Operations will be responsible for turning that complexity into leverage. You'll help define how Apollo measures partner impact, how partner motions are structured, how systems support them, and how the company can scale partner revenue without scaling operational overhead at the same rate.
