Key responsibilities

Services portfolio and packaging

Own the Integration Services portfolio. Define scoped packages, deliverables, and pricing tiers by complexity

Create clear, sales-ready collateral (battlecards, FAQs, scope boundaries) to make offerings easy to position and sell

Establish guardrails for in-house vs. partner integrations execution based on complexity, risk, and ownership model

Commercial execution and conversion

Partner with Sales/CS to increase attach and convert assessments/discovery into paid engagements; own visibility on utilization, services revenue, and opportunity conversion

Participate as a player-coach in pre-sales: frame solution options, set expectations, and structure SoWs for predictable outcomes

Reduce discounting by standardizing packages and leveraging reusable blueprints for recurring patterns

Delivery excellence and operational standards

Set standards for quality, security, and observability across Advisory/Build-With engagements: runbooks, error handling, logging/metrics, change control, and documentation

Coach the team on scoping accuracy, risk management, and stakeholder communication; ensure crisp handovers and governance

Drive a quarterly metrics cadence for utilization, throughput, CSAT/quality, and issue resolution; iterate methods and templates continuously

Delivery models: define and execute advisory vs. Build & Host strategy

Advisory/Build-With: scope, consult, and co-develop integrations that are operated by the customer or partners

Build & Host (managed) opportunities: identify where Personio can own code/infra/support, define decision criteria, SLAs, and pricing, and pilot with tight controls

Document and enable the build-vs-partner framework so Sales/CS can confidently position each model

Partnerships and ecosystem collaboration

Work with Product Partnerships to evaluate partner-led delivery across segments; align on co-selling, certification, and delivery playbooks

Feed structured insights to Product/Partnerships on high-demand integrations and friction points to influence roadmaps and marketplace strategy

Measures of success

Commercial outcomes: growth in services revenue and attach; increased conversion from discovery/assessments to paid engagements

Utilization and delivery: higher team billable utilization; predictable project delivery with strong CSAT and reduced rework

Portfolio clarity: packaged Integration Projects and ETL offers with clear scope/pricing adopted by Sales/CS

Strategic impact: Personio positioned as the HRIS hub in key accounts; validated criteria and initial pilots for Build & Host where beneficial
