Partner Strategy & Operations Manager

Notion • San Francisco, CA

1d • $185,000 - $220,000 • Onsite

About The Position

Notion is accelerating investment in Partner and Consultant motions with the goal to scale growth meaningfully over the next several years. This role will lead strategy and execution across both self-service and sales-assisted business models, diving deep to support each motion while also working alongside business partners to drive program unification through mechanisms such as tiering, processes, systems, and incentive models.
As Strategy & Operations Manager, you'll support Partner growth strategy design, translate strategies into annual investment plans, clear priorities and cross-functional dependencies, and help drive execution with velocity and rigor. You'll build and own core operating processes and frameworks — such as capacity and revenue models, reporting and KPI reviews — partnering with RevOps, Business Technology, Data, Finance, Product, and Go to Market teams to develop a strong operational foundation for the Partner program.
Ultimately, you'll help our Partner Leadership team build programs that transform end user experience, accelerate Notion adoption, and drive ARR growth at scale. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about building, comfortable in undefined spaces, data- and process-driven, and brings expertise in the Partner and GTM operations space.
