Want to be part of our story? Apply today! Partner Operations is the analytical and operational backbone of Couchbase’s global partner organization. This senior individual contributor owns the data, systems, reporting, and rhythm of business that make partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue visible, trusted, and actionable — from PDM-level territory execution up to the CRO, CEO, and CFO views used in ELT QBRs. Beyond producing reports, the role defines and defends the methodology and data governance beneath the numbers, so partner metrics are consistent and defensible at the executive level. The role spans reporting and dashboards, deal registration, CSP co-sell and cloud marketplace operations, rhythm of business, partner programs, and partner analytics — benchmarked against the partner-operations functions at data and cloud peers such as MongoDB, Databricks, and Snowflake. Scope & Operating Model Remit: Global, with geo / theatre depth (AMER, EMEA, APJ) and PDM-level territory views. Partner personas: GSI / SI, VAR, OEM, and CSP (AWS, Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure); ISV where applicable. Core systems: Salesforce (SFDC), PipelineIQ, Clazar (cloud marketplace & co-sell), Partner Portal / PRM, and the BI / dashboard layer. Stakeholders served: PDMs, partner leadership, Revenue / Sales Operations, Finance, Marketing Operations, and the Executive Leadership Team. Operating principle: One agreed set of partner definitions and one source of truth, so every view — from PDM to CFO — reconciles. Core Responsibilities 3.1 Attribution Methodology & Partner Data Governance Own the definitions of partner “sourced” vs. “influenced” revenue and the rules of engagement; maintain a documented, version-controlled methodology approved with Revenue Operations and Finance. Ensure attribution is applied consistently across every reporting layer so PDM, CRO, CEO, and CFO views reconcile to the same source. Govern partner data hygiene in SFDC: partner account / contact mapping, de-duplication, partner-type tagging, and field completeness on partner-influenced opportunities. Maintain a single source of truth across SFDC, PipelineIQ, Clazar, PRM, and BI. 3.2 Reporting & Dashboards (Salesforce + PipelineIQ) Global: Partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue by partner persona (GSI/SI, VAR, OEM, CSP). PDM-level: Sourced and influenced revenue for the territories each PDM supports, delivered as self-serve dashboards. ELT / QBR: Executive views for QBRs — a CRO / Chief Commercial Officer view and a CEO & CFO view — trended against plan with consistent definitions. Partner-funnel analytics: Pipeline coverage ratios, conversion / velocity / win-rate by partner type, and whitespace vs. territory coverage. 3.3 Deal Registration Operations (GSI/SI, VAR, OEM) Track deal-registration submissions from GSI/SIs and VARs on the Couchbase website — global…
