Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets.

The Global Head of GSI Alliances will own the strategy, sell-to, sell-through and sell-with motions with all GSI partners, as well as promotion of our GSI related activities - from campaigns, to strategic opportunities and GSI related events (including Canonical s yearly GSI executive summit).

Location: Our company largely works from home, this role can be based in the Americas or EMEA.

The role entails

• Own and drive GSI partner strategy, forecast, bookings and revenues for Canonical
