**This is a remote role open to candidates in the US and Canada only**
Syndigo is seeking a seasoned, strategic, and execution-driven Sr. Director of Global Alliances Operations to lead a team and revamp our global partnerships function. This is not a maintenance role — it’s a build-and-scale opportunity. You’ll architect and operationalize a high-impact global alliances program that strengthens our position as the leader in Product Experience Management (PXM), Master Data Management (MDM), and Digital Shelf Analytics (DSA).
This role requires someone who combines partner-first thinking with operator discipline — a leader who can create strategy, influence across their team and the C-suite, and get into the weeds to activate and scale programs that drive pipeline and revenue.
HOW WE’LL BE WINNING TOGETHER DAY TO DAY
- Own the global alliance strategy across GSIs, SIs, agencies, and tech partners (e.g., Microsoft, Shopify, Databricks).
- Redefine our partner program: build structure, playbooks, value exchange models, co-sell frameworks, and incentive systems.
- Build and manage a high-performing global team of Partner Managers.
- Drive partner-sourced pipeline and ACV, with a clear focus on measurable business outcomes.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, and Services to embed partnerships into GTM and delivery motions.
- Track KPIs rigorously: pipeline contribution, partner influence, enablement success, joint GTM performance, and partner satisfaction.
- Champion Syndigo’s three-pronged partnership strategy:
- SI & Consulting Partners for scalable delivery
- Agency Partners for category/retail activation
- Technology Partners to extend and differentiate the Syndigo platform
WE SHOULD TALK IF THIS SOUNDS LIKE YOU
- 10+ years in alliances, partnerships, or channel leadership in enterprise SaaS, ideally in PIM/MDM, commerce, or data platforms.
- 2+ years of experience managing a small but impactful team with the ability to scale it
- Proven success launching or transforming a global partner program with quantifiable pipeline/revenue outcomes.
- Strong executive presence; able to influence internally at ELT level and externally with partners.
- Deep understanding of how to activate GTM with GSIs, regional SIs, agencies, and cloud/platform partners (e.g., Azure, AWS, Salesforce).
- Strong operator: hands-on, organized, disciplined with follow-through and governance.
Your individual compensation within the budgeted salary range is determined based on your skills, education, experience, and internal equity. This position is Bonus Eligible.
For full-time U.S. based-employees, we offer competitive health insurance benefits, PTO and volunteer time off, employer-paid short- and long-term disability, parental and adoption leave, 401(k), and tuition reimbursement.
