Sr. Manager - Partner Experience

This role will join the central team at Talabat responsible for elevating the bar on the experience for our Partners - starting from the time they get onboarded onto the platform. The team drives all Partner facing policies, processes, automation initiatives, and engagements to deliver an accelerated and profitable growth for Talabat Partners. The output from the related workstreams is critical to Partner satisfaction and retention on the platform.

This role will be responsible for building, upgrading, and reviewing the implementation and impact of all Partner facing SOPs and processes (such as order cancellation, refund, dispute, etc.). The person will engage directly with multiple stakeholders across Sales, Product, Support Operations and regional Partner Growth team to raise the bar on Partner experience through these efforts. 

The role will require dealing with constantly evolving priorities, and work in a fast paced environment. The ideal candidate will possess a blend of technical expertise, industry experience, and strong stakeholder management skills, aligning with the organization's growth strategy to foster effective partnerships and drive innovation.
 

What’s On Your Plate?

• Streamline our current Onboarding process to drive seamless launches and activations with increased automation, identifying opportunities across teams to reduce process friction and increase funnel conversion and speed.

• Design and launch new policies to support Partner pain points, where such policies do not exist. Align internal stakeholders to gain buy-in to launch and scale the implementation. 

• Identify and execute improvements to existing SOPs and processes, based on feedback from the market (Sales and Partners, through NPS and Satisfaction surveys, and Voice of Partner program). This should also take into account constantly changing macro scenarios (e.g. legal requirements on onboarding documents).

• Own internal metrics (such as vNPS and AM vSAT) to reflect Partner satisfaction levels, pain points, and offer improvement opportunities.

• This role would also play a key role in managing churn and contribute to retention improvement on the platform for our long-tail accounts - where maintaining good quality of support (policies and process driven) is critical for their growth. 

• Work closely with the central Product team to recommend improvements to Partner facing features (e.g. reporting on Portal). This should help reduce the volume of contacts and ensure we improve the self-serve capabilities for our Partners.

• Identify data-backed insights to further our efforts on scalable initiatives, acting as thought leader for the Partner Growth org on this front.

• 10+ years of program or project management experience.

• Experience in leading medium sized strategy teams (3-4 HC) 

• Bachelor’s degree in business, marketing, economics, or a related field; advanced degree preferred. 

• Exceptional communication and collaboration skills, with a proven ability to influence and align cross-functional teams and senior leadership around commercial objectives. 

• Experience using data and metrics to determine and drive process improvements.

• Experience owning program strategy, end to end delivery, and communicating results to senior leadership is a must have.

• Demonstrated expertise in on-time delivery of project solutions with structured and organized project documentation, and excellent time management capabilities. 

• Strong analytical acumen, with the ability to gather and interpret data, derive actionable insights, and make data-driven decisions that directly impact commercial outcomes. SQL knowledge is an advantage.
