• Maintain awareness of key industry players and trends, including how competitors and potential partners engage in strategic partnerships, and recommend targeted initiatives across partnerships, marketing, and sales.
• Initiate lead generation activities internally and externally through strategic touchpoints with key partner contacts (e.g., quarterly business reviews, regular syncs with Adobe, Sitecore, and Optimizely leadership, joint events, onsite visits).
• Contribute to our standing within the Adobe Solution Partner Program, supporting specialization goals, partner-tier requirements, and joint go-to-market activities.
• Maintain accurate and current sales records, reports, and forecasts in the designated CRM system, including partner attribution and deal registration.
• Report on new lead generation against targets on an ongoing basis and share key insights from CRM data with the broader team to inform strategy and go-to-market approach.
