What you get to do in this role 

As a Partner Manager, you will help drive growth through one of ServiceNow's strategic partner relationships, with a dedicated focus on the partner's United States business and go-to-market efforts. 

You will work closely with partner sales, practice, alliance, and delivery teams, while collaborating across ServiceNow field sales, solution consulting, customer success, marketing, operations, and leadership teams. This role requires strong collaboration with the Global Partner Leader team and extended regional, global, and functional stakeholders to execute business plans, generate pipeline, accelerate opportunities, and drive successful customer outcomes. 

The Partner Manager is responsible for helping create and influence new business opportunities, developing joint go-to-market initiatives, and supporting opportunities from pipeline creation through successful transaction execution.

• Generate quotes and manage order form processes in partnership with Sales Operations. 

• Incorporate pricing, commercial structures, and terms and conditions into transaction vehicles. 

• Collaborate with Legal, Finance, Deal Desk, and Sales teams to support contract negotiations and opportunity closure. 

• Serve as a central point of coordination between sales teams, partner stakeholders, and customers during deal execution. 

• Pick up opportunities as pipeline matures and becomes executable for sell-through route-to-market transactions. 

• Manage transaction milestones, approvals, and dependencies to support timely completion. 

• Identify and resolve execution challenges that may impact booking or customer timelines. 

• Support opportunities through the final stages of the sales process to successful close. 

Partner Governance & Collaboration 

• Establish effective operating rhythms with partner and ServiceNow stakeholders supporting the US business. 

• Track performance against business plans, pipeline objectives, and revenue goals. 

• Provide visibility into key initiatives, opportunity status, and strategic priorities. 

• Support partner readiness, capability development, and long-term growth within the ServiceNow ecosystem. 

• Work effectively within a matrixed environment that includes the Global Partner Leader team and regional, global, and functional stakeholders.
