Responsibilities
As a Partnership Program Manager you will:

• Lead scoping calls with customers and prospects to understand workflows, requirements, and acceptance criteria.

• Make the call on whether a customer-sourced integration is strategically viable enough for FMX to build and support.
• Pursue formal partnership steps with the vendor when appropriate.
• Drive scope alignment and secure formal agreement via an SOW.
• Coordinate delivery and testing with Engineering and the requesting customer.
• Build and run a formal inbound partner intake process.
• Define and maintain requirements for being considered an official FMX partner.
• Lead partnership formation activities and document agreements and expectations.

• Maintain a clear, up-to-date inventory of partnerships and integrations.
• Identify and pursue strategic integration opportunities that improve FMX marketability, retention, and revenue.
• Validate market demand and recruit design partners or test customers.
• Coordinate testing for FMX-sourced strategic integrations by recruiting FMX customers to participate in testing efforts.
• Run the same feasibility, partnership, sandbox access, delivery, and testing motion as customer-sourced work.
• Ensure integrations are supportable long-term with clear ownership, documentation, and governance.
• Partner with Marketing and Sales to package, enable, and launch integrations to the broader customer base.
• Create enablement materials such as positioning, one-pagers, FAQs, qualification guidance, and internal playbooks.
• Track partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline and other agreed metrics, and iterate on the results.
• Provide structured, proactive stakeholder updates with clear status, risks, decisions needed, and next steps.
