Responsibilities

Architecture influence & technical evangelism: Get Mosaic written into Google Cloud's recommended agentic AI reference architectures, working with Google Cloud architecture, specialist, PSO, and partner teams to make the semantic layer a default element of Gemini/Vertex agentic data-grounding patterns. Develop and evangelize joint reference architectures that position Mosaic as the semantic/data layer alongside Databricks, Snowflake, and other ISVs, in partnership with Product Management, Sales Engineering, and Solution Architecture. Build the technical and business narrative that makes Mosaic the obvious "design-in" choice for AI-ready, governed data.
ISV attach & SI orchestration: Identify and engage industry-focused system integrators with established Databricks, Snowflake, and cloud data practices; co-build vertical solution offers with Mosaic embedded. Drive marketplace packaging of joint solutions (Google Cloud Marketplace and partner offers), working with SIs and ISVs on listing, packaging, and routing. Develop joint value propositions and packaged offers with strategic ISVs that attach Mosaic to their platforms and motions.
Go-to-market & revenue: Develop annual strategic plans and performance goals for the partnerships and ecosystem motions under management. Drive joint sell-with and partner-led activities through go-to-market plays in collaboration with Product Management, Marketing, Sales Engineering, and Field Sales. Generate net-new logos through partner-sourced pipeline via attach, co-sell, joint marketing, and account-planning sessions. Support Strategy's field sales organization through partner engagement for partner-influenced opportunities. Drive joint engagement through partner-led and industry events in collaboration with Field Marketing and Sales.
Operations & enablement: Track all opportunities, pipeline, and bookings; provide forecasts and funnel-management reporting focused on partner-sourced revenue. Provide content for partner training curriculum, reference-architecture enablement, and sales enablement. Serve as an escalation point for pre-sales and post-sales issues. Build and maintain relationships, including stakeholder mapping, across Google, ISV, and SI partner personnel to strengthen Strategy's standing and visibility.
