• Internally motivated, thrive in a fast paced environment, and comfortable owning an outcome end to end.
• Ability to challenge the status quo.
• Work closely with our Product and Tech teams, bringing what you learn from customers and partners back into the business so you have a direct path to shaping how the product and partner experience evolve.
• Own outcomes end to end and get things done by influencing partners and cross-functional teams, without needing direct authority.

• Comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a fast paced, high-growth environment.

• Help bring new partners onto GelatoConnect and into the Gelato network, working with our commercial teams so partners understand the value and get set up to fulfill for Gelato.
• Get new partners live and operating to our standards, and own ongoing performance across your partner base (availability, speed, quality, and selection expansion), diagnosing issues, driving improvements, and raising the bar with each partner you add.
• Assess the supplier ecosystem and have a say in who should be on GelatoConnect Procurement, helping add the right suppliers so partners can tap into Gelato's buying power to reduce material costs and inventory overhead.
• Use the latest AI tools to scale your impact, automate manual work, and make faster, sharper decisions across everything you own. Build AI into how you operate, not as an experiment but as the way you get more done.
