United StatesSales DevelopmentRemote1+ YOE
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
