Key Responsibilities Own end-to-end partner lifecycle for Approved Developers — intake and qualification, commercial paperwork (SOWs, NDAs, TPP agreements), technical onboarding, and production launch Lead storefront submission for all platforms including developer program enrollment, certification coordination, and fulfillment of each platform's specific legal and asset requirements Drive legal workstreams in partnership with Legal — including third-party partner agreements, API terms of service, and storefront-specific paper — ensuring alignment to production API and launch deadlines Coordinate with Marketing on listing assets (copy, icon/logo, screenshots, demo video, keywords) to each platform's spec, and on launch sequencing and co-marketing motions Manage technical relationships with driver development partners and software-led API partners. Evaluate partner technical capabilities and integration approach; validate that partner-built drivers meet EverPass quality standards Provide hands-on guidance and support through sandbox, validation, and production phases Lead cross-functional coordination across Legal, Marketing, Solutions Engineering, and Product. Surface integration patterns and partner feedback to Product to improve APIs over time Work with Product and other cross-functional stakeholders to develop a roadmap for key capabilities for the EverPass AV Ecosystem. Solicit feedback from all consumers of the API and help to draft new requirements and key functionality to be offered to the ecosystem.
