As part of the Partner Alliances organization, this senior role carries specific accountability for activating partners in the field - particularly partners that are not formally managed today but are important to Insight's technology and solution direction - by aligning them to GTM plays, enabling sales teams, and supporting real customer opportunities.

The role operates within a shared cross-functional GTM operating model used by the broader Partner Alliances team. It does not own broader GTM strategy, campaign execution, or marketing plans, but is accountable for partner execution, readiness, and impact within those motions.

  • Manage a focused portfolio of partners, including:
    • Identified emerging technology Managed partners
    • Non-managed partners that are important to Insight's emerging technology and solution priorities
  • Prioritize partners based on execution value, customer relevance, and solution fit, not program maturity or funding availability.
  • Own Insight's execution-oriented activities for the identified partners tied to:
    • Defined GTM plays as identified by the GTM team around AI, security, and infrastructure solution motion


GTM Play Alignment & Sales Support

(Primary Focus)

  • Where appropriate, request and align partner marketing funds or investments to support GTM execution, while recognizing that:
    • Some partners do not have formal MDF, marketing, programs or rebate programs
    • Lack of funding is not a barrier to partner engagement or prioritization

This role is accountable for partner execution against GTM plays, not ownership of GTM or Sales enablement/Marketing strategy.

  • Work with Services and Solution line as appropriate toensure:
    • Partner services are not conflicting with Insight offerings
    • Scope and dependencies are clear
    • Sales teams know how to qualify and position opportunities
    • Insight has the technical capabilities aligned to the focused partners

  • Ensure infrastructure partners are:
    • Aligned to AI and security workloads
    • Positioned intentionally as solution foundations
    • Enabling Insight with technical delivery capabilities
    • Partner services are not conflicting with Insight offerings
  • Provide sales teams with clear guidance on when security and infrastructure partners are essential vs optional.

  • Drive partners from:
    • "Interesting but inactive"
      "Actively used in execution"
  • Recommend where Insight should:
    • Increase execution focus
    • Simplify partner overlap
    • Reduce low-impact noise for the field


Senior Partner & Internal Engagement
  • Engage partner teams to align on:

    • Resolution of gaps impacting sales or delivery
  • Act as a senior execution resource for Sales, Services, and GTM teams.
