The RoleDataHub | 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 OwnPartner-Influenced (Co-Sell)

- 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)

- 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
- 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
- Familiarity with the data catalog, data governance, or metadata management space
