• Drive operational excellence in onboarding: Own and streamline the partner onboarding process—including form intake, legal validation, and asset collection—to accelerate time-to-launch and improve partner happiness.

• Instrument data-sharing and reporting: Implement frameworks across NVIDIA and external partners to enable referrals and report on funnel health, benefit utilization, and technology adoption insights.
