You will work closely with Partner Sales Managers (PSMs), Partner Solutions Architects (PSAs), as well as Partner and Field Marketing to plan, execute, and advance partner GTM and to build the GTM capability within partners that makes this motion repeatable. You will report to the EMEA Partner Manager Leader.
