About the Role:

We are looking for a Regional Partner Development Manager to develop and lead field engagements with GSI partners - the term GSI is used loosely because it refers to the very large professional service consulting organizations that could be Big 3, Big 4 or your traditional SIs.

• Familiarity with the CSPs GCP, Azure, and/or AWS offerings and GTM approach as these CSPs are of key importance to the GSI and thinking of the ‘ecosystem’ is becoming increasingly important
