• Work hand-in-hand with EMEA sales leadership to instill the mindset that partners are how we sell and win; equip sellers with the partner relationships, knowledge and plays to put that into practice in account planning, pipeline creation and deal execution

• Operate as a player-coach, personally recruiting and developing partners, sourcing opportunities and working deals through close, while coaching your team to do the same

• Partner with our Technical Services team to get SI and GSI practitioners trained, certified and delivering successful Temporal projects

• Evaluate and develop emerging partner models, including ISVs, and adjust the regional partner mix based on business impact

• Represent EMEA at the global level, working with global partner owners so regional execution and global strategy reinforce each other

03What You’ll Bring

• A track record of owning and growing a regional partnerships business in EMEA, including building and scaling services partner ecosystems

• A strong eye for talent and demonstrated ability to attract, recruit and hire high-performing partnerships or sales professionals

• Proven experience directly managing and developing a team, including setting goals, coaching individuals, addressing underperformance and helping people grow

• A track record of originating partner-sourced pipeline and closing deals, with numbers you can point to for both your own work and the teams you’ve led

• Strong business judgment about where to invest time and resources across markets, partners and motions, with the ability to turn those decisions into results

• Established relationships with regional and global SIs and hyperscaler teams, and experience bringing them together to win business

• Demonstrated ability to earn credibility with sales leaders and sellers, influence how they sell, and translate partner strategy into sales execution

• Ability to build rapport with and influence partner executives, global alliance stakeholders and cross-functional teams

• Comfort in conversations with developer and architect personas; a background in developer platforms, cloud infrastructure, open source or AI is a strong plus

• Willingness to travel regularly across EMEA
