REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE • 8+ years of experience in partnerships, channel sales, alliances, or business development, with a significant focus on GSI relationships. • Proven track record of building and scaling GSI or large SI partnerships at a high-growth technology company, ideally in developer tools, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise SaaS. • Deep understanding of how GSIs operate, including their practice models, delivery structures, go-to-market motions, and decision-making processes. • Experience developing joint solutions and co-sell motions with GSI partners that resulted in measurable pipeline and revenue growth. • Strong executive presence with the ability to build trust and credibility with senior leaders at GSI firms and within your own organization. • Highly collaborative, with experience working cross-functionally across Sales, Product, Marketing, and Customer Success teams. • Comfort operating in a fast-paced, early-stage environment where you will need to build processes and programs from scratch. • Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to articulate the value of AI-driven development to both technical and business audiences. • Bachelor's degree required; MBA or equivalent experience is a plus.
