Partner Success Specialist

About the Role:

As a Partner Success Specialist, you will own relationship management with our partners (starting with onboarding) and deepen their relationship with Papaya to increase value. You will also have the opportunity to help change existing processes and build new processes from scratch. Flexibility, communication, and a willingness to learn are of the highest importance. Papaya believes that diversity helps build an inclusive culture where all team members can grow, contribute, and feel valued. If you agree, we’d love to hear from you!

Similar roles at other companies may be called Account Manager, Customer Success Manager, or Client Manager. This role is B2B and is distinctly different from customer service.

• Identify Process + Policy Improvements. You will help improve Papaya’s internal processes to make partner relationship management more efficient. You will make recommendations on how to improve partner relationship management.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration. In addition to the entire Operations team, this person will be working with Sales, Marketing, Engineering, and Product to ensure the Operations team is consistently delivering high quality and top-notch service.
