How you will make an impact with us

Global Relationship Management

• Develop and maintain multi-year joint business plans with assigned GSIs, covering co-sell strategy, investment cases, pipeline influence, and solution roadmap alignment. 
• Engage directly with C-level stakeholders at assigned GSIs and within Siemens, driving alignment on shared objectives and joint business outcomes. 
• Coordinate global and regional engagement models with Sales Units, ensuring consistent partner interaction and clear handover of execution responsibilities. 

Practice Building & Partner Enablement 

• Build and scale a Siemens practice within assigned GSIs – designing routes-to-market and go-to-market strategies that enable partners to champion Siemens’ portfolio at depth and at scale. 
• Drive enablement of assigned GSIs through training, certifications, and accreditation programs, ensuring partners can position and deliver Siemens solutions effectively. 
• Ensure assigned GSIs have access to the resources, content, and tools needed to co-create and deliver solutions aligned to Siemens’ vertical priorities. 

Strategy, Pipeline & Market Influence 

• Defining joint value propositions and solutions plays with assigned GSIs, aligned to Siemens’ vertical priorities and cross-business go-to-market strategy. 
• Act as escalation point for complex, cross-Sales Unit, or cross-border opportunities involving assigned GSIs. 
• Track and report on GSI-influenced pipeline, win rates, and joint business plan progress – contributing to the team’s performance transparency. 
• Represent Siemens at industry events, partner forums, and executive engagements – providing thought leadership and positioning Siemens as the partner of choice in IT/OT transformation. 
• Identify market trends, customer needs, and opportunities for differentiated partner-led solutions, feeding input into the broader Global System Integrators team strategy. 

Collaboration & Execution Support 

• Collaborate with Partner Strategy & Operations on global partner tools, deal registration standards, and performance governance frameworks relevant to assigned GSI accounts.

• Proven ability to build and scale GSI practices through routes-to-market design, enablement programs, and certification frameworks.
