- Utilize data, partner feedback, funnel analysis, and operational insights to prioritize roadmap investments.
- Engage with Sales and Partner Success to understand enterprise partner needs and translate them into reusable platform capabilities.
- Work with Analytics to define measurement frameworks for partner performance, funnel conversion, product adoption, and platform health.
- Partner with Compliance, Legal, and Operations to ensure platform workflows support regulated financial product distribution.
