Role Summary

The Global Alliance Manager – Strategic Accounts is responsible for designing, launching, and scaling a small number of deep, high-impact global alliances with Tier‑1 GSIs and global consulting firms. This is a hands‑on builder role, not a caretaker role. You will define what “good” looks like for global alliances at a Series A company—then operationalize it.

You will own:

• Global partner strategy – Strategic Accounts
• Executive alignment
• Joint solution positioning
• Partner‑led pipeline creation
• Early proof points that justify long‑term investment

Responsibilities

Global Alliance Strategy & Program Design: Identify and prioritize 3–5 global strategic alliance targets based on ICP overlap, services‑led leverage, global account reach, and GRC practice maturity. Design a Series A‑appropriate global alliance model, including partner segmentation and tiers, engagement rules, global vs regional ownership model, and build 12‑24 month joint business plans (JBPs) with clear assumptions, milestones, and success criteria.

Revenue & Pipeline Creation (Primary Accountability): Drive partner‑sourced and partner‑influenced enterprise pipeline across global accounts. Focus on fewer, higher‑quality opportunities rather than broad activation. Partner closely with LockThreat leadership on overall account strategy, executive mapping, deal shaping and delivery, multi‑country pursuit coordination and enablement optimization. Enforce disciplined qualification using MEDDIC / MEDDPICCR to protect scarce Series A resources.

Executive Alignment & Relationship Management: Establish executive‑level relationships with global alliance leaders, GRC/risk/cyber service line leaders, and regional managing partners. Lead executive briefings, alliance steering committees, and QBRs focused on outcomes, not activity. Position the company as a value‑driven, outcome‑oriented partner that enables scalable solutions and services that drive differentiation— not a niche tool.

Solution & Services Co‑Creation: Align product capabilities to partner consulting and managed services offerings. Support development of partner‑delivered GRC accelerators, industry‑specific compliance solutions, and repeatable implementation patterns. Ensure services‑led motions reinforce product adoption, expansion, and stickiness.

Internal Operating Rhythm: Act as the internal voice of strategic alliances across product, sales, marketing, and customer success. Build lightweight but effective alliance operating processes: pipeline inspection, forecast accuracy, product & engineering enhancements, executive escalation paths. Maintain clean, auditable data in CRM.

Ideal Partner Profile

• Tier‑1 GSIs and global consulting firms
• Established global GRC, risk, audit, cybersecurity, or transformation practices
• Strong enterprise presence across all industries, with a focus on financial services, energy, healthcare, and government
• Experience delivering multi‑country, multi‑year programs
