  • Build a strong internal stakeholder network with neighbouring teams, especially the internal market team to consult on hunting initiatives for locally relevant partners
  • You have the end-to-end responsibility from first contact to contract conclusion and, in collaboration with our Solution Architects, ensure your partners have a smooth onboarding journey enabling them for live business.
