This role combines strong cloud/data architecture expertise with partner relationship management and cross‑functional teamwork to drive joint go‑to‑market success, customer adoption, and platform revenue.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner Solution Design & Architecture: Work closely with designated ISV partners to design and review integrated solution architectures that combine partner products with Teradata’s platform. Develop reference architectures and demos that showcase joint capabilities addressing real‑world customer requirements.

Work alongside partner sales teams and Teradata field sales to jointly engage customers – presenting architectures, co-delivering demonstrations, addressing technical objections, and guiding customers through successful evaluation and adoption of partner-integrated solutions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Coordinate across internal teams (Sales, Alliance/Partner Management, Product Management, Engineering, Consulting, Support) to ensure partner needs are addressed and integrated solutions are fully supported. Relay partner product feedback and requirements to Teradata’s product/engineering teams to influence roadmap and improve integration capabilities.
• Thought Leadership & Market Enablement: Evangelize joint solutions and provide thought leadership in the community. Develop white papers, blog posts, and best-practice guides that highlight successful ISV partner integrations and the value delivered to customers.
