AVP, SAP Partner Strategy & Programs
The AVP, SAP Partner Strategy & Programs is responsible for transforming the strategic partnership between Icertis and SAP into a scalable, repeatable growth engine. This role drives the overall partnership strategy, executive alignment, joint go-to-market initiatives, and operational governance required to accelerate co-sell success and market expansion. Working closely with SAP and Icertis leadership, the AVP will identify growth opportunities, define joint priorities, and ensure alignment across regions, industries, and key transformation initiatives.
This highly cross-functional leadership role connects Alliances, Sales, Marketing, Solution Advisory, Delivery, and RevOps to create a consistent partner engagement model.
