In this role, you will own the end-to-end global partner strategy- identifying, structuring, and maximizing value from high-impact alliances (e.g., Databricks, Adobe, Anthropic, hyper-scalers, and key industry-specific platforms).

Responsibilities
  • Partner Strategy & Monetization: Define and execute the global roadmap for eClerx's strategic industry partnerships. Turn existing and new alliances into robust, predictable engine-rooms for net-new revenue growth, sourcing, and influenced pipeline.
  • Governance & Executive Sponsorship: Build deep, multi-threaded operational relationships with partner stakeholders, from alliance managers to product and field sales leadership. Act as the executive face of eClerx within the partner ecosystem.
  • Co-Selling & Field Execution: Align eClerx's global sales teams with partner field organization reps to uncover new opportunities, map accounts, navigate complex sales cycles, and win major enterprise deals.
  • Co-Marketing & Field Visibility: Drive top-of-mind awareness within partner networks by directing joint marketing initiatives, securing partner competencies/awards, orchestrating flagship event presence (e.g., tech summits), and building compelling client success stories.
  • Channel Metrics & Insights: Implement structured KPI tracking to measure channel productivity, including partner-sourced pipe, conversion velocities, certifications achieved, and overall channel ROI.

Eligibility Requirements
  • Proven Alliances Track Record: 12+ years of progressive leadership experience managing strategic alliances, partner networks, or channels within global IT services, consulting, or specialized digital BPO enterprises.
  • Revenue & Value Impact: Proven history of building a partnership channel from the ground up or scaling an existing portfolio into a multi-million-dollar revenue driver with measurable sourced/influenced pipeline.
  • Deep Ecosystem Familiarity: Strong, existing network, relationships and operational familiarity within critical enterprise tech ecosystems - specifically modern data platforms (e.g., Databricks, Snowflake) or customer experience/digital marketing clouds (e.g., Adobe stack).
  • Matrix Influence & Collaboration: Exceptional capability to influence internal business leaders, product heads, and tech teams without direct authority to construct unified, scalable GTM execution.
  • Strategic & Commercial Acumen: Adept at negotiating complex corporate partner agreements, structuring referral/reseller frameworks, and translating highly technical concepts into clear, domain-specific business outcomes.
  • Education: Bachelor's degree in Business, Technology, or a related field required; MBA or equivalent advanced degree preferred.
  • Industry Network and Representation: Skilled at representing the organization in strategic forums, partner councils, and executive reviews.

  • Exposure to strategic alliances, partner ecosystems, and partner-led delivery models.
  • Understanding of emerging trends in AI, data modernization, and enterprise technology transformation.
  • Proven ability to drive market growth through innovative offerings, strategic partnerships, and ecosystem collaboration.
  • Strategic thinker with strong execution discipline.
  • Highly collaborative and influential in complex environments.
  • Commercially driven with strong deal-making capability.
