- Define partner segmentation, coverage model, and partner plays aligned to Conviva’s product and ICP.

- Create and run repeatable partner GTM motions: co-selling, co-marketing, solution bundling, and services-led delivery.
- Establish opportunity identification and pursuit processes with partner sales teams, alliance leaders, and field leadership.

Executive engagement & governance
- Own C-level and SVP-level relationships within Deloitte, Accenture, Oracle, and Google; represent Conviva in executive steering committees.
- Negotiate strategic agreements (e.g., co-sell, reseller, services referral, marketplace listings), ensuring mutually beneficial economics and clear accountability.
- Lead QBRs/MBRs, track performance, and course-correct quickly.
Partner enablement & internal orchestration
- Build enablement programs for partner sellers and practitioners: training, pitch assets, demo environments, battlecards, and playbooks.
- Coordinate cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Customer Success, Legal, Finance, and Operations to remove friction and accelerate deals.
