You'll be responsible for building high-impact partnerships with hyperscalers (AWS & Microsoft Azure) and key technology partners, turning these alliances into a meaningful source of pipeline, revenue, and product differentiation. You'll be a commercial alliance leader who knows how to navigate large partner organizations, align internal teams, and drive measurable GTM outcomes. You thrive at the intersection of enterprise sales, AI/CX technology, and cloud ecosystem strategy, and you know how to make partnerships work beyond the press release. Impact - Define and execute Ada's technology and cloud alliance strategy, identifying and prioritizing the partner relationships that will have the greatest revenue and strategic impact. - Build and manage co-sell and co-market programs with AWS, Google Cloud, and Mcrosoft Azure — including Marketplace listings, joint pipeline generation, and partner-sourced deal acceleration. - Own relationships with key technology partners (CRM, CCaaS, WFM, and adjacent platforms), developing joint solutions and integration go-to-market plays. - Drive measurable partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, setting targets and holding yourself accountable to revenue outcomes. - Serve as executive sponsor for strategic technology and cloud partnerships, developing joint business plans with clear revenue targets, success metrics, and executive alignment. - Coordinate cloud marketplace strategy — ensuring Ada is well-positioned on AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, and Google Cloud Marketplace, with the right listings, funding programs, and deal registration processes in place. - Partner closely with Ada's sales, solutions, product, and marketing teams to integrate alliance strategy into field execution — ensuring partners amplify Ada's reach, not just add logos to the website. - Define and maintain rules of engagement between Ada's direct sales motion and partner-influenced deals, keeping both sides aligned and conflict-free. - Build the business case for alliance investments — modeling ROI, mapping partner economics, and presenting recommendations to leadership with clarity and rigor. - Track alliance health and performance using dashboards and scorecards; use data to continuously prioritize effort and surface emerging opportunities. ## About You - 8+ years in technology alliances, cloud partnerships, or business development, with at least 3–4 years managing hyperscaler relationships (AWS, or Azure). - Proven track record driving co-sell revenue through cloud marketplace programs - Deep understanding of hyperscaler partner ecosystems, how funding programs, marketplace mechanics, and field incentives work in practice. - Experience managing technology alliances with CRM, CCaaS, or enterprise software platforms (e.g. Salesforce, ServiceNow, Genesys, NICE, Zendesk). - History of consistently exceeding partner-driven revenue and pipeline targets. - Strong enterprise sales background,  you understand complex B2B buying cycles and know how to translate partner relationships into closed revenue. - Experience in B2B SaaS, AI, or customer experience technology. - Deep fluency in cloud partner economics: marketplace fees, co-sell incentives, private pricing agreements, and how hyperscalers measure partner value. - Ability to orchestrate across functions (sales, product, marketing, legal, finance) without direct authority, aligning people around a shared partner strategy. - A commercial mindset — you measure success in pipeline and revenue, not partner logos or MOU signings. - Data-driven approach to pipeline management, partner scoring, and forecasting. - Strong negotiation skills, particularly in structuring co-sell agreements, joint GTM commitments, and partner program terms. - Excellent relationship-building skills with the patience to develop trust inside large partner organizations over time. Some travel required (approximately 25–35%) to meet with partners, attend cloud summits and industry events, and participate in company offsites. ## #LI-NS1 ## Benefits & Perks At Ada, you’ll not only build extraordinary products but also thrive in an environment designed for your success.
