Partner Operations Manager
Bevi is an environmental company that aims to entirely eliminate disposable bottles and cans through smart beverage machines that purify water and create healthy beverages on demand. Our first product is an IoT office water cooler that serves customizable sparkling and flavored water. We’re growing over 100% year over year and have raised over $60M in venture capital.
Partner Operations Managers at Bevi are responsible for ensuring that key partner(s) and branches under them have the support, information, and tools needed to perform to Bevi's standards for customer and technical service. Partner Operations Managers are the go-to conduits for corporate-level operational inquiries and issues from partners, and escalate local issues to Field Operations Managers and other contacts. Partner Operations Managers also ensure that partners and branches fully take advantage of Bevi's Technical Support, Documentation, and other resources. Partner success is measured using performance metrics and partner satisfaction surveys.

- Balancing partner processes, differences across partner branches, and the need to develop scale, work with partners and their individual branches to develop and implement operational processes that optimize partner and end user consumption and satisfaction
- Ensure that partners and their branches understand the resources available to them from Bevi, channel as many inquiries as possible to those resources, and handle escalations and unique issues
