What You'll Do

• Build joint business cases with partners for embedding Now Next CRM, CSM, and AI Agent capabilities into their service offerings prioritising deals that generate partner-sourced NNACV.

Pipeline Development and Revenue

• Own the partner-sourced pipeline target and report on NNACV contribution from partner-initiated opportunities.
• Collaborate with field sales (AEs, CRM BDMs, solution consultants) on joint account planning and opportunity co-pursuit, ensuring partners are commercially credited for sourced opportunities.
• Maintain accurate pipeline visibility in Dynamics 365, including partner account records, opportunity co-registration, and deal progression tracking.
• Identify and convert Salesforce CPQ displacement opportunities through partner channels, leveraging end-of-sale timing as a recruitment and pipeline trigger.

Partner Recruitment and Ecosystem Development

• Manage partner pipeline across three tiers (Strategic, Growth, Recruit) and apply structured activation plans to move partners from enrolled to revenue-generating within defined timeframes.
• Engage with the ServiceNow partner portal, deal registration processes, and partner program benefits to maximise partner commercial incentives.

AI Adoption and Enablement

• Act as the CRM and AI subject matter expert for partners and GPC team coaching partners and internal team on Now Assist positioning, agentic AI use cases, and AI adoption playbooks for their customers.
• Help partners develop repeatable delivery accelerators and reference architectures for CRM and AI implementations, reducing time-to-value for their customers and improving practice margins.
• Enable partners to build customer success motions around AI adoption, including usage benchmarking, levers for driving consumption, and executive value reporting.
• Represent partner needs back to the global CRM and AI product teams, feeding market intelligence on partner capability gaps, competitive dynamics, and product roadmap priorities.

Market Intelligence and Competitive Positioning
