We're seeking a hands-on Technical Product Manager to drive the execution and evolution of our Partner Search platform and knowledge management systems.

Additionally, our group manages our Salesforce Infrastructure. This role will flex to assist other product teams in discovery, development, and deployment activities to support the continuous improvement of the systems our community leverages to manage partner relationships and impact-based investments.
