About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 15 years of experience in strategic alliances, enterprise sales, or partner management within the data, cloud, or enterprise software industry.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex, global relationships with major consulting firms or global system integrators at a senior level.
  • Ability to engage credibly at C-suite and partner level within a global consulting organisation, including understanding how global system integrators make decisions, build practices, and go to market.
  • Strong commercial instincts to identify, thoroughly qualify, and develop joint pipeline opportunities, rather than only manage existing relationships.
  • Track record of operating as a cross-functional orchestrator, influencing without direct authority across sales, engineering, marketing, and operations.
  • Strong communication and storytelling skills to translate technical platform capabilities into compelling business narratives for consulting and enterprise audiences.
  • Willingness to travel globally to engage global system integrator leadership and teams across regions.

Responsibilities

  • Own the global system integrator relationship at partner and C-suite level, building trusted relationships with Capgemini practice and delivery team leads.
  • Define and execute a multi-year joint strategy positioning dbt and Fivetran as the default open data infrastructure layer within the global system integrator’s enterprise AI and agentic workflow delivery.
  • Represent NewCo at the global system integrator’s internal forums, client briefings, and industry events, articulating the open data infrastructure narrative and its relevance to the partner’s strategy.
  • Drive adoption of the dbt and Fivetran platform within global system integrator delivery teams, ensuring practitioners, solution architects, and practice leads are certified, confident, and actively recommending the platform in client engagements.
  • Work with the global system integrator’s practice leadership to embed NewCo’s platform into business groups, standard delivery architectures, requests for proposals, and client proposals, particularly within Data and AI practices.
  • Design and execute a global enablement program for global system integrator practitioners, including certifications, reference architectures, use-case playbooks, and joint delivery assets.
  • Partner with the global system integrator’s marketing and alliances teams to develop joint go-to-market campaigns focused on open data infrastructure, trusted AI delivery, and moving AI proofs of concept into production.
  • Support the global system integrator in building and positioning client-facing agentic AI value accelerators using the NewCo platform as the foundational data layer.
  • Source and develop new pipeline opportunities through the global system integrator relationship by identifying client situations where open data infrastructure creates measurable value.
  • Drive co-sell motions alongside global system integrator account teams, ensuring NewCo is present and influential when client opportunities arise.
  • Maintain a rigorous view of global system integrator-engaged pipeline, tracking opportunity sourcing, progression, and closed business attributed to the alliance.
  • Define and track signals of a healthy, high-performing global system integrator relationship, including certifications, sourced opportunities, platform deployments, practitioner engagement, and joint wins.
  • Report regularly to the Global Head of GSI Relationships on alliance health, pipeline contribution, and strategic progress.
  • Identify relationship risks and gaps early and mobilize internal resources to address them.

Desired Qualifications

  • Deep understanding of the modern data stack and the business value of open data infrastructure; experience with dbt, Fivetran, or equivalent is strongly preferred.
  • Familiarity with AI, agentic workflows, and the data governance landscape is a strong advantage.
  • Strong knowledge of the global system integrator’s operating model and established contacts within it.

About the Company

Fivetran

Moves business data into cloud analytics systems

Fivetran moves data from business applications and databases into cloud analytics systems so data teams can work with reliable records instead of building pipelines by hand. Its ready-made connectors handle changes in source tables and software interfaces, reducing the maintenance needed to keep information up to date. Teams also use its transformation tools to turn raw records into datasets for reporting, operations and AI applications. Fivetran charges for usage, measuring the distinct records changed each month and the data models run, with plans for different security and operational needs. Founded in 2012, Fivetran is headquartered in Oakland, California.
