- Referral / Influenced: Turn ISV-influenced pipeline into a measurable, repeatable motion with clear attribution, incentives, and SLAs.
- Partner Strategy: Define and prioritize the ISV target map across CCaaS, UCaaS, collaboration, and agentic AI adjacencies.
- Partner Lifecycle: Recruit, onboard, and activate strategic ISVs—from category leaders to high-growth AI-native players.
- Alliances: Own executive relationships with hyperscalers (e.g., Google Cloud), aligning GTM with co-sell programs.
- Product Alignment: Translate commercial needs into roadmap priorities with the CPO and marketplace product teams.
- Financial Model: Partner with Finance on take-rate, rev-share, and OEM margin structures that withstand Board scrutiny.
- GTM Alignment: Co-design attribution, comp, and deal registration with RevOps and CRO org to align channel and direct sales.
- Governance: Partner with Legal on agreements, data terms, and commercial guardrails.
- Revenue Delivery: Hit multi-million ARR targets for net-new ISV revenue using a staged investment model.
- Channel Impact: Grow ISV-influenced bookings into a durable share of channel revenue.
- Operating Cadence: Establish QBRs, pipeline reviews, and exec sponsor rhythms to ensure accountability.
- Team Build: Develop the business case and hiring plan for ISV Partner, Alliance, and Program Ops teams as the motion scales.
Skills you’ll bring
- 10+ years in enterprise SaaS with at least 5 years focused on ISV, OEM, cloud marketplace, or strategic technology alliances.

- Track record designing and closing OEM, embed, or rev-share agreements with measurable ARR contribution.
- Demonstrated success partnering with Product and Engineering leadership to shape platform and marketplace roadmap.
