Program Manager, Provider Partnerships

Our provider ecosystem is the foundation of that marketplace. As the number of model labs and inference providers we work with grows, the relationships behind them have to scale like a product — with consistent tiers, lifecycles, and standards — not as a set of one-off deals.

Responsibilities

  • Own the provider lifecycle. Define and operate the standard path from sourcing → onboarding → activation → QBR → renewal, with clear stage gates, owners, and SLAs.
  • Design provider tiering.
  • Build and maintain the tiering framework (the “buckets”) that determines how providers are classified, what they get, and what’s expected of them.
  • Build programmatic structure that scales. Turn one-off relationships into repeatable systems — templates, playbooks, self-serve onboarding, and automated provider comms — so the program grows without linear headcount.
  • Run cross-program operations. Execute program-wide changes (re-paper all providers, launch a new tier, roll out a new compliance attestation) as a single coordinated motion.
  • Run the flagship programs. Operate MPEAP and the verified/certified provider tracks, from intake criteria to ongoing management.
  • Own the compliance cadence. Keep SLAs, attestations, and provider obligations on schedule and auditable.
  • Set the operating cadence. Run the rhythm of the team — reviews, reporting, and the operating cadence that keeps everyone aligned.
  • Partner cross-functionally. Work across Product, Engineering, Legal, Finance, and Security to unblock providers and ship program improvements.
