• Identify and pursue upsell and expansion opportunities within your partner portfolio, initiating new projects, and handing them off to or coordinating with the relevant stakeholders
• Make high-impact decisions in partnership with your counterparts, bringing the right internal experts (Product, Legal, Compliance, Tech) to the table at the right moment
