Follow us on Glassdoor and LinkedIn ! The Partner Success Program Manager is a high-impact individual contributor within Corporate Development Operations responsible for driving faster, more predictable partner onboarding, launch execution, and ongoing success across Alkami's partner ecosystem. This role sits at the intersection of partner operations, cross-functional program management, portfolio visibility, and strategic communication. The Partner Success Program Manager will own Alkami's most important and most complex partner projects while also serving as the program manager for the broader partner operations portfolio and a key communication hub across the Corporate Development team. This person will bring sequencing discipline, dependency management, clear reporting, and strong stakeholder alignment to a function that is central to Alkami's growth. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment and is motivated by turning a busy backlog into a well-instrumented, predictable program. They are equally strong at driving execution and communicating priorities, progress, success, risks, and trade-offs to leadership and cross-functional teams. Success in this role will be measured by reduced onboarding duration, reliable execution and value realization, stronger visibility into partner launch status and risk, and durable success for Alkami's key partners beyond go-live. Key Responsibilities & Duties Drive on-time execution for Alkami's most complex, high-visibility partner implementations. Serve as program manager for cross-functional partner initiatives and process improvement efforts, coordinating Product, Marketing, Engineering, Sales, Enablement, and supporting functions to ensure partner success. Act as the primary program manager for key strategic partners, ensuring not only successful launch execution but also strong post-launch coordination, issue resolution, and ongoing operational health. Establish and reinforce a documented, stage-gated onboarding program that supports consistent delivery across the portfolio. Act as the portfolio program manager for the partner operations backlog by maintaining a single, trusted view of work by status, stage, dependency, and risk. Partner with leadership to sequence work, enforce work-in-progress limits, surface trade-offs, and reduce average onboarding duration. Create and own a clear communication cadence for the Corporate Development team, including regular updates on priorities, launch progress, accomplishments, risks, and upcoming milestones. Translate operational activity into executive-ready reporting that highlights business impact, partner outcomes, key achievements, and areas requiring decision or support. Ensure partner and portfolio priorities are visible, aligned, and communicated consistently across the Corporate Development organization and key cross-functional stakeholders. Run structured root-cause analyses when launches slip and convert findings into durable process improvements. Build and maintain reporting and dashboards that quantify throughput, cycle time, impact, accomplishments, and risk for leadership and partners. Partner with the broader Corporate Development team to standardize artifacts and identify automation opportunities, including automated readiness checks, runbooks, Confluence spaces, communication templates, and Q2C gate verification. Support a culture of accountability and continuous improvement by documenting lessons learned, celebrating team wins, and reinforcing best practices across the partner success portfolio.
