Job description

Field Technologist, Strategic Partnerships

Remote, US

The Basics

The Field Technologist, Strategic Partnerships is a field technical role serving as a primary liaison between Tanium’s Customer Org and Product/Engineering teams for our strategic technology partnerships — hyperscalers and cloud providers (Microsoft, Google Cloud, AWS), enterprise platform partners (ServiceNow), complementary technology partners (ScreenMeet), and service-provider motions as the portfolio evolves. You will provide technical leadership, support strategic customer and partner engagements, feed real-world input to product teams, and help educate the sales organization on partner value messaging.

You’ll work in a dynamic global environment across a wide variety of internal and external stakeholders — from IT and cybersecurity practitioners to senior technical and business leaders — through demonstrations, strategy conversations, roadmap discussions, architecture & design workshops, marketing events, and industry conferences.

Strategic partnership initiatives

• Serve as the field technical resource for partner integrations and joint solutions across Tanium’s strategic partner ecosystem.
• Analyze partner solutions and roadmaps to identify future integration investment opportunities.
• Engage with partners’ field teams for education, enablement, and opportunity identification.
• Drive enablement for Sales and the Customer Org: value messaging, demonstration qualification, and opportunity identification across the partner portfolio.
• Develop demonstration scripts, solution recordings, and field enablement plans spanning multiple partner integrations.
• Support the technical side of co-sell execution — marketplace transactability, partner-funded programs, and consumption commitments (e.g., Microsoft MACC, AWS EDP).
• Support Tanium’s field positioning for AI and agentic capabilities inside partner platforms (e.g., Microsoft Security Copilot, ServiceNow AI agents) and how Tanium’s real-time endpoint data grounds partner AI workflows.
• Present at marketing events, webinars, and partner sessions.
• Educate and train Tanium partners on technical solution details and cross‑vendor solution design.
• Build durable relationships with partner product, engineering, and field teams so integration issues get resolved and roadmap input flows in both directions.
• Serve as a technical resource for questions from partner sellers and their customers during joint pursuits.
• Contribute to joint solution briefs, reference architectures, and partner‑facing documentation.
• Participate in senior‑stakeholder calls to gather input and shape sales‑cycle objectives.
• Provide technical leadership and sales advisory support; assist with technical pre‑sales as SME.
• Work with the sales team from discovery to close to shorten cycles and improve win rates.
• Architect technical solutions across IT Operations, Security, and Risk teams; align pre‑sales and proof‑of‑value motions with account goals.

Customer, Product, and Enablement support

• Help the Customer Org establish value realization of existing investments and drive adoption where partner integrations are underused.
• Bring field and market insights to R&D and Product; translate field/partner requirements into prioritized integration requests with business case and customer evidence.
• Test new integrations, represent the field in design reviews and pre‑release validation, and help create/test technical competency courses and sales enablement materials.
• Maintain a current, versioned library of partner integration enablement content.

Education

• Multi‑platform technology partner knowledge — solid expertise in at least one (cloud/hyperscaler or enterprise platform) with working fluency across others.
• 6-8+ years in the industry with solid technical skills across networking, security, operations, scripting, and/or programming.
• 5+ years in customer‑facing positions; 3+ years in sales and/or strategy‑focused roles (consulting, SaaS, global companies).
• Experience supporting strategic pre‑sales opportunities.
• Hands‑on experience with partner co‑sell motions — marketplace transactions, partner‑sourced/attached pipeline, referral/reseller mechanics, and partner portals and programs.
• Working knowledge of enterprise AI and agentic platforms and how third‑party data grounds them (e.g., Microsoft Security Copilot, ServiceNow AI agents).
• Experience contributing to field enablement: certification paths, demonstration assets, and train‑the‑trainer programs.
• Comfort operating in ambiguity as the portfolio changes.
• Strong critical thinking, judgment, and independence on complex, loosely‑scoped problems.
• Clear communication for senior technical and business stakeholders — workshops, webinars, and partner sessions — with emotional intelligence and influence across extended teams.

Nice to have
