Summary
Early-career Partner Development Representative supporting hyperscaler alliances (AWS, GCP, Azure). Conducts research, account mapping, co-sell execution, and program development to scale partner-influenced pipeline.
About the role
What You'll Do
Co-sell execution and field support
- Work with global alliance managers to understand co-sell processes specific to each partner and identify ways to improve support and scale - including sales-facing resources, system automation, and analytical insights
- Proactively identify top accounts and customers for dbt Labs sales teams to prioritize with AWS, GCP, and Azure
- Facilitate and secure engagements between dbt Labs/Fivetran and partner sales counterparts - including account workshops and joint opportunity reviews
- Connect dbt Labs sales teams with the right partner contacts to ensure we're solution selling together and delivering a strong customer experience
- Support pipeline creation and revenue growth across all three hyperscaler partnerships
Research and intelligence
- Conduct informational interviews with partner field teams, customers, and internal stakeholders to understand where co-sell motions are working and where there's room to improve
- Monitor trends across the hyperscaler ecosystem and synthesize findings into recommendations for alliance leadership
- Identify whitespace and emerging opportunities across AWS, GCP, and Azure to help inform where we place bigger bets
Data analysis and account mapping
- Own account mapping across all three partners — analyzing overlap, co-sell propensity, and expansion potential to help alliance managers prioritize
- Track alliance health, pipeline contribution, and program performance across cloud providers
- Translate data from internal systems, partner portals, and marketplace platforms into clear, actionable recommendations
Program development
- Help design and pressure-test new alliance programs before launch, using data and field research to sharpen targeting and sequencing
- Identify what's working in one region or with one cloud provider and build the case for scaling it globally
- Define, maintain, and improve co-sell operational components including playbooks, sales resources, and analytical frameworks
What You'll Bring
- 1–3 years of experience in a sales, business development, or partner-facing role - BDR, SDR, or similar experience is a plus
- Some exposure to alliances, partnerships, or co-sell motions, even if not as a primary focus
- Comfort working with data - you've used tools like Salesforce, Excel, or similar to analyze accounts, track pipeline, or identify trends
- Experience using AI tools - whether that's agents, AI-assisted research, or tools like Claude, Glean, Notion AI - to accelerate analysis, surface insights, and do more with less
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail; you can manage multiple workstreams across different partners and stakeholders without dropping threads
- Clear, direct communicator - written and verbal - who can synthesize information and present it concisely to senior team members
- Curiosity about the data and cloud ecosystem; familiarity with AWS, GCP, or Azure
- Willingness to do the research - informational interviews, account mapping, competitive analysis - and turn findings into a clear point of view
- Collaborative by default; this role works across three alliance managers and multiple internal teams, so the ability to build relationships and earn trust matters
- Willingness to travel occasionally to engage partner teams and attend industry events
What Success Looks Like in Year One
- Co-sell activity is running at scale across all three hyperscaler partners - with a volume of target co-sell account meetings booked across AWS, GCP, and Azure in FY27, logged and tracked in Salesforce
- Proactive account identification is working: dbt Labs/Fivetran sales teams are receiving regular, data-driven views of their top co-sell opportunities - by partner, account, and motion - and acting on them
- The co-sell process from submission to booked meeting is smooth and fast; sales teams know how to use it and trust that it will get them to the right partner contact quickly
- Partner-influenced pipeline is growing and attributable - co-sell activity is tagged consistently in Salesforce so we can measure what's working and where to invest more
- Alliance managers for Microsoft, AWS, and Google have a reliable research and analytical partner who helps them make smarter decisions about where to focus and what programs to build next
- You've built working relationships with partner-facing teams at all three hyperscalers and are a trusted connector between dbt Labs sellers and their cloud counterparts
