As a Partner Operations Manager you will help operationalize and scale Steer's rapidly growing partner ecosystem across the automotive aftermarket-including parts/tire suppliers, shop management systems, marketing platforms, AI providers, and enterprise repair networks. Reporting directly to the Sr. Director of Partnerships, your mission is to turn strategic partner relationships into repeatable, high-performing growth engines. You will own the operational execution of our channel programs, integrations, and Directory-as-a-Service (DaaS) initiatives, ensuring our internal teams and external partners are aligned for long-term success.

This role is 100% remote and available to US-based candidates.

• An Automotive & Tech Translator: You speak the language of the automotive aftermarket and seamlessly translate technical and strategic concepts so partners and internal teams can easily execute.
• A Scale-Minded Project Manager: You enjoy managing multiple cross-functional initiatives at once, taking ownership of the details that help turn high-level partnerships into tangible business results.

You Will

• Scale Partner Program Operations: Own end-to-end partner reporting (enrollments, incentives, and performance), coordinate announcements, manage enablements/assets, and streamline billing alongside RevOps and HubSpot teams.
• Drive Directory-as-a-Service (DaaS) Execution: Manage shop eligibility data, partner locator onboarding, and activation tracking, while coordinating cross-functionally with Sales, CS, and Marketing to convert partner-generated leads.
• Coordinate Integration Ecosystems: Manage day-to-day integration partner communications, align Product and Engineering teams on launch readiness, support beta testing, and maintain internal integration documentation.
• Manage Tech & Service Relationships: Act as the primary operational lead for marketing, loyalty, AI voice, and coaching partners-overseeing onboarding, issue resolution, and joint execution.
• Enable Internal Teams: Ensure Sales and Customer Success have the resources, collateral, and knowledge required to support and close partner-driven opportunities.
