Where Your Work Moves the Needle.

At Pebl, every team member drives our success. Joining us means more than filling a role—you’re accountable for results and impact. Our values guide how we operate, execute, and collaborate across borders. By putting them into action, you’ll help us scale faster, compete harder, and lead the future of global work.

What Makes You a Great Fit

We are looking for an experienced and execution-focused Senior Global Network Specialist to join our Network team. This full-time hybrid role, based in Toronto, sits at the heart of Pebl's global payroll partner ecosystem—spanning 126 countries and 175+ active partners. You will own the day-to-day mechanics of how Pebl sources, activates, governs, and sustains its network of In-Country Partners (ICPs) and Managed Service Providers (MSPs), ensuring our global operations remain compliant, cost-effective, and scalable.

This role will report to the Director of Payroll Operations, Network and Expense.

How You'll Make an Impact:

Partner Sourcing & Activation

• Lead end-to-end RFP processes to identify, vet, and onboard new partners across new and existing markets.
• Manage partner reactivation pipelines, including due diligence reviews and contract refreshes for previously inactive partnerships.
• Respond to proactive expansion requests and sales-driven needs for new territories with structured sourcing plans.

Contract Negotiation & Governance

• Negotiate localized contract terms, including MSAs, SOWs, and SLAs, within defined boundaries and in close collaboration with Legal.
• Serve as the internal authority on partner contractual obligations and service delivery boundaries, resolving ambiguities and preventing unauthorized cost escalations.
• Own and maintain governance frameworks and rules of engagement that define how Pebl interacts with its global partner network.

Partner Maintenance & Operational Excellence

• Act as the central advocate and operational bridge between internal teams (Payroll, Experience, Product, Onboarding) and external partners.
• Monitor and enforce SLA adherence across the partner ecosystem, escalating contractual or high-risk operational issues as required.
• Identify and lead process improvements across partner sourcing, due diligence, and governance workflows.
• Contribute to the Partner Knowledge Base, ensuring documentation, partner profiles, and rules of engagement remain current and accessible.

Let's Connect If You

• Have 5+ years of experience in global partner management, vendor operations, or a similar role within a multinational or EOR/PEO environment.
• Bring hands-on experience running RFPs, negotiating vendor contracts, and managing multi-party relationships across diverse jurisdictions.
• Are comfortable operating within pre-defined frameworks while exercising independent judgment on day-to-day partner matters.
• Possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to represent Pebl's interests clearly and diplomatically across cultures.
• Are detail-oriented and organized, with a strong track record of managing complex pipelines and governance frameworks without dropping the ball.
• Are proficient in Google Workspace and comfortable working across enterprise tools; experience with Airtable, NetSuite, or partner management platforms is a plus.
• Thrive in a fast-moving, globally distributed team environment and can manage competing priorities with calm and structure.
