Vendor Integration Manager
About this role
On this role you will lead the team responsible for bringing new vendors and services onto the AppXite marketplace. You'll own the entire vendor onboarding: lifecycle from designing scalable integration processes and working with APIs to improving delivery, automating workflows with AI, and ensuring our catalog stays competitive. This role combines team leadership, technical integration expertise, process optimization, and close collaboration with global cloud vendors such as Microsoft, AWS, and Google Cloud to continuously expand and enhance the AppXite platform.
Key Responsibilities: 1. Team Leadership & Delivery Management: Take full ownership of the vendor team: set direction, structure, priorities, and accountability. Establish a predictable delivery cadence - planning, estimation, tracking, and on-time delivery of vendor onboarding and enhancement projects. Define clear roles within the team (analysis, integration, QA, lifecycle management) and coach team members, including developing business analysts into stronger delivery contributors.
Report transparently on velocity, blockers, and roadmap status to leadership. 2. Process Architecture & Improvement: Audit current vendor onboarding and management processes; identify bottlenecks and structural gaps. Design and implement standardized, repeatable processes for vendor intake, analysis, integration, testing, launch, and ongoing maintenance. Build playbooks and templates so that vendor onboarding becomes a production line, not a series of one-off projects.
3. Integration Architecture (Hands-On Technical Leadership): Act as the integration architect for all vendor projects: API analysis, data mapping, order flows, provisioning flows, billing and reconciliation flows. Work directly with developers to translate vendor requirements into clear, well-scoped technical specifications. Review integration designs for scalability, error handling, and maintainability. Own the technical relationship with vendor APIs and marketplaces (e.g., Microsoft Partner Center APIs, AWS Marketplace, Google Cloud channel programs).
4. Automation & AI Tooling: Aggressively pursue automation across the vendor lifecycle: catalog updates, price list ingestion, offer synchronization, testing, and monitoring. Leverage AI tools and AI agents to accelerate requirements analysis, documentation, data mapping, and quality assurance. Continuously reduce manual effort per vendor so the team scales output without scaling headcount linearly. 5. Vendor Lifecycle & Relationship Management: Own the full lifecycle of every vendor in the catalog: new offers, new programs, promotions, pricing changes, deprecations, and API changes.
