The Opportunity

Posit is seeking a dynamic and results-driven GTM (Go-to-Market) Lead to own the field execution of our strategic partnership with Snowflake.

• Performance & Reporting:
• Meticulously track and report on all partnership activities, pipeline, and revenue, including partner-sourced and partner-influenced ARR.
• Lead regular business reviews (QBRs) with both Posit and Snowflake stakeholders to review performance, identify challenges, and course-correct as needed.
• Utilize data to provide insights and recommendations to sales and product leadership to further strengthen the partnership.

About you:

• Significant experience in strategic alliances, partnership management, channel sales, or business development within a B2B enterprise software/SaaS environment.
• Proven, hands-on experience building and scaling a GTM partnership with a major cloud data platform (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure).
