Your Opportunity

What You'll Do

• Drive Strategy & Alignment: Serve as the strategic bridge between New Relic’s sales leaders (AVPs, RVPs, and Account Executives) and AWS/Azure partner sales teams to ensure seamless collaboration.
• Execute Co-Sell Motions: Map accounts, identify new logos, and accelerate deal cycles by leveraging AWS Marketplace and Azure Marketplace (CPPO/MPO).
• Generate Qualified Pipeline: Build regional partner plans that fuel business growth, making full use of cloud provider funding programs, incentives, and consumption credits (EDPs/MACC).
• Build & Evangelise Cloud Networks: Cultivate deep, trusted relationships with Partner Development Managers (PDMs), Cloud Account Managers, and field leaders. Educate partner teams so New Relic remains top-of-mind for cloud migration and observability initiatives.
• Lead Governance & QBRs: Own Quarterly Business Reviews with internal and external stakeholders to track performance, celebrate wins, and ensure long-term pipeline health.
