> Own and grow the global strategic alliance with Accenture as the primary system integrator partner. Architect joint go-to-market strategy, drive practitioner enablement and certifications, co-develop pipeline, and embed the dbt + Fivetran open data platform into Accenture's AI and data delivery practices.

## Job Description

## What You'll Do

### Relationship Strategy and Executive Engagement
- Own the global Accenture relationship at partner and C-suite level, building trusted relationships with Accenture's AI, cloud, data and industry practice leads.
- Define and execute a multi-year joint strategy that positions dbt + Fivetran as the default open data infrastructure layer within Accenture's enterprise AI delivery.
- Represent NewCo at Accenture's internal forums, client briefings, and industry events — articulating a compelling narrative around open data infrastructure and its relevance to Accenture's cost and productivity reinvention agenda.

### Platform Integration and Practitioner Adoption
- Drive adoption of the dbt + Fivetran platform within Accenture's delivery teams — ensuring practitioners, solution architects and practice leads are certified, confident, and actively recommending the platform in client engagements.
- Work with Accenture's practice leadership to embed NewCo's platform into their business groups, standard delivery architectures, RFP responses and client proposals.

### Enablement and Go-to-Market
- Design and execute a frictionless enablement programme for Accenture practitioners globally — certifications, reference architectures, use case playbooks, and joint delivery assets.
- Partner with Accenture's marketing and alliances teams to develop joint go-to-market campaigns anchored to open data infrastructure and trusted AI delivery.
- Support Accenture in building and positioning client-facing agentic AI value accelerators with NewCo platform as the foundational data layer — the "NewCo inside" model.

### Pipeline and Opportunity Development
- Source and develop new pipeline opportunities through the Accenture relationship — identifying client situations where open data infrastructure creates measurable value.
- Drive co-sell motions alongside Accenture account teams, ensuring NewCo is present and influential at the point of client opportunity.
- Maintain a rigorous view of Accenture-engaged pipeline — tracking opportunity sourcing, progression, and closed business attributed to the alliance.

### Telemetry and Performance
- Define and track the signals that indicate a healthy, high-performing GSI relationship: certifications, sourced opportunities, platform deployments, practitioner engagement, and joint wins.
- Report regularly to the Global Head of GSI Relationships on alliance health, pipeline contribution, and strategic progress.
- Identify risks and gaps in the relationship early and mobilise internal resources to address them.

## Skills We're Looking For
- 10+ years of experience in strategic alliances, enterprise sales, or partner management within the data, cloud, or enterprise software industry.
- Demonstrated experience managing complex, global relationships with major consulting firms or global system integrators at a senior level.
- Deep understanding of the modern data stack and the business value of open data infrastructure — dbt, Fivetran, or equivalent experience strongly preferred.
- Ability to engage credibly at C-suite and partner level within a global consulting organisation — understanding how GSIs make decisions, build practices, and go to market.
- Strong commercial instincts — able to identify, thoroughly qualify and develop joint pipeline opportunities, not just manage existing relationships.
- Track record of operating as a cross-functional orchestrator — influencing without direct authority across sales, engineering, marketing, and operations.
- Exceptional communication and storytelling skills — able to translate technical platform capabilities into compelling business narratives for consulting and enterprise audiences.
- Familiarity with AI, agentic workflows, and the data governance landscape is a strong advantage.
- Willingness to travel globally to engage Accenture leadership and teams across regions.

## What Success Looks Like in Year One
- A clearly defined joint strategy with Accenture signed off at partner Executive level on track to Business Group status.
- Material increase in Accenture practitioner certifications and active platform deployments.
- Accenture-sourced pipeline contributing measurably to NewCo's revenue.
- At least two joint go-to-market campaigns live in the market delivering pipeline.
- First client-facing agentic value accelerators built on NewCo platform delivered with Accenture.
- A telemetry framework in place tracking alliance health and pipeline influence.
