The Role

DataHub | Reports to Chief Marketing Officer

Partnerships are a core lever in DataHub's growth. We're hiring a Director of Alliances to own our partnership strategy end to end: building the systems that let partners help us close deals faster, deliver complete solutions, and generate new pipeline.

You'll build and run three interlocking motions: co-selling with hyperscalers and technology partners, certifying systems integrators to implement DataHub, and co-marketing with partners to source net new opportunities. This is a builder role. You'll design the playbooks, negotiate the agreements, and run the day to day partner relationships that turn strategy into revenue.

What You'll Own

Partner-Influenced (Co-Sell)

Build and run a structured, repeatable co-sell playbook with hyperscalers and other strategic technology partners
Register deals, introduce account executives to partner counterparts, and drive joint pursuit of opportunities
Own hyperscaler alliance relationships, including specialization and co-sell scoring programs
Grow the share of deals that are meaningfully influenced by a partner

Partner-Fulfilled (Certification)

Stand up a certification program for systems integrators, covering technical enablement, implementation, and specialized delivery tracks (such as compliance or migration work)
Build enablement content, technical training, and a tiered partner scoring model
Manage relationships with a portfolio of SI and GSI partners
Grow the number of certified partners who can independently deliver DataHub implementations

Partner-Sourced (Co-Marketing)

Identify and prioritize target accounts using partner pipeline, look-alike data, and joint account mapping
Plan and execute joint marketing programs, from webinars to executive events, tailored to technical, business, and economic buyer personas
Build joint partner pages, co-branded content, and the tracking infrastructure needed to attribute partner-sourced pipeline
Grow the volume of net new opportunities sourced through partners

Program and Relationship Management

Own the partnership roadmap and planning cadence, coordinating across sales, marketing, and product
Negotiate and manage partnership agreements
Represent DataHub at partner and industry events, including partner participation in DataHub's own conference and field events
Partner closely with the technical enablement and events functions to deliver a complete partner experience

What You'll Bring

7+ years in partnerships, alliances, or channel roles at an enterprise software or data infrastructure company
Direct experience building or scaling co-sell programs with hyperscalers (AWS, Google Cloud, Azure)
Experience standing up SI/GSI partner programs, including certification and enablement
A track record of turning partnerships into measurable pipeline and revenue, not just signed agreements
Comfort operating at both strategic and hands on levels: you can build a three year alliance strategy and also personally register a deal in APN
Strong cross functional collaborator, able to align sales, marketing, and product around shared partner goals
Excellent written and verbal communication skills for partner negotiations and executive reporting

Nice to Have

Familiarity with the data catalog, data governance, or metadata management space
Experience with compliance or regulatory frameworks relevant to regulated industries
Existing relationships within the AWS, Google Cloud, or major SI partner ecosystems
