The role is focused on disciplined execution, scalable partner programs, MDF effectiveness and measurable partner activation. Unlike a Strategic Partner Marketing Manager role built around a smaller set of nationally strategic reseller relationships and joint business plans, this position is designed to operationalise regional partner marketing across a broader partner base, helping PAMs and partners apply consistent demand generation, enablement, advocacy and reporting practices.

Coordinate content readiness, brand presence, presenter logistics, partner outreach, follow-up actions and local activation to ensure these marquee events advance partner knowledge, engagement and go-to-market execution. Create consistency in partner advocacy and brand presence: Help regional partners establish and maintain consistent advocacy pages, partner website content, co-branded materials and campaign assets that reflect Extreme brand standards and make it easier for partners to position Extreme solutions clearly in their markets. Collaborate cross-functionally to remove execution blockers: Work with Regional PAMs, Distribution Sales, Field Marketing, BDR teams, Partner Experience, Marketing Operations and Demand Generation to ensure partner activity is set up correctly, results are tracked, and lessons learned are shared. Escalate risks and process issues early, but remain focused on practical execution and repeatable improvement.

Support monthly and quarterly reviews with concise, consistent reporting that helps the team understand what is working, where partners need support, and where investment should be adjusted.
