Strategic Partner is the model most associated with mature, high-impact RevOps implementations. RevOps is at the table for strategic decisions on segmentation, territory, compensation, lifecycle motion, and forecasting. Authority is shared rather than imposed, which preserves the autonomy of the functional leaders while creating a single operational layer beneath them. The model requires senior leadership sponsorship and a credible RevOps leader; without those, it tends to collapse back to Service Provider.
