Job Purpose
RWS's vision to become the Cultural Intelligence Layer for Enterprise AI cannot be realized alone — it requires a sophisticated and cohesive partnership ecosystem. We are seeking a dynamic and results-oriented Strategic Technology Partner Manager to develop and manage our relationships with strategic partners, including hyperscalers, LLM providers, and major SaaS platforms. This is a pivotal role focused on shaping and executing high-impact strategic initiatives that drive co-innovation, unlock new revenue streams, and embed RWS technology as a core component of our partners' enterprise offerings.
You will be responsible for the end-to-end management of these strategic partnerships, from deepening executive relationships to operationalizing joint go-to-market (GTM) strategies and ensuring the success of co-sell motions.
The ideal candidate will have a proven track record of managing complex alliances with major technology platform companies, a deep understanding of cloud marketplaces and co-sell programs, and a passion for driving growth through strategic collaboration.
Job Overview
Key Responsibilities
- Serve as the primary point of contact for strategic technology partners, managing day-to-day relationships and governance across executive, sales, marketing, and product stakeholders.
- Define and drive execution of strategic partnership plans, ensuring alignment between RWS and partner objectives to achieve mutual goals and revenue targets.
- Operationalize joint go-to-market strategies and accelerate co-sell programs through channels such as AWS, Microsoft, and key SaaS provider marketplaces.
- Serve as the internal subject matter expert on partner technology, platforms, and programs, providing insights that inform RWS product strategy and roadmaps.
- Collaborate with RWS sales leadership and enablement teams to evangelize partnerships, train the sales organization on joint value propositions, and drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline.
- Partner with marketing teams to develop and execute joint plans — including webinars, case studies, and events — to build market awareness and generate demand.
- Work with Product and R&D to identify and pursue co-innovation opportunities that leverage partner platforms to develop next-generation AI and content solutions.
- Lead alliance governance and operational cadence, including QBRs to track KPIs, manage Salesforce pipeline reporting, and maintain a single source of truth for partnership impact.
- Manage contractual obligations in partnership with Legal and Finance, ensuring compliance and successful renewals.
