Technology Alliances Manager

Own the global technology alliance strategy across Red Hat Ansible, Nvidia, Cisco, HPE, Arista Networks, and Itential, ensuring the portfolio aligns with NetBox Labs’ product vision, platform priorities, and go-to-market objectives.

Map the organization, build champions at every level, and convert them into VP- and C-suite sponsorship — these doors do not open by themselves.

Run two motions in parallel: land fast, visible wins with nimble partners like Itential while executing the longer, more complex campaigns required to break through at Cisco, HPE, Arista, and Red Hat.

Define partner tiering, engagement models, and investment levels across the technology alliance portfolio, and identify emerging partnership opportunities in adjacent ecosystems.

Drive NetBox Labs onto partner global price lists and into resale, OEM, and marketplace programs that connect our products to partner sales organizations worldwide.

Design and launch joint GTM programs — co-sell motions, joint solution packaging, co-marketing campaigns, and field enablement — with success measured in programs launched and partner-influenced pipeline.

Build multi-year joint business plans and lead complex commercial engagements, including contract negotiations, pricing strategy, and incentive structures.

Partner with Sales team on account planning, opportunity identification, and co-selling with partner field organizations, and partner with Marketing on co-branded content, joint events, and demand campaigns.

Serve as the voice of the partner in internal product planning, ensuring partner integration requirements and joint roadmap opportunities are reflected in NetBox Labs’ priorities.

Work with Engineering and Product to scope and deliver certified integrations and joint solutions that create tangible customer value.

Maintain command of partner platform roadmaps, capabilities, and certification programs, and position NetBox Labs strategically within them.

Define the objectives, KPIs, and scorecards for the technology alliance program — and build the reporting rhythm that enables NetBox Labs’ executive leadership to track and monitor progress with clarity and confidence.

Establish governance frameworks for each alliance: executive business reviews, partner lifecycle management, performance tracking, and long-range strategic planning sessions.

Report data-driven results to leadership: programs launched, integration adoption, partner-influenced pipeline, and route-to-market milestones such as price-list placement and partner-status achievements.

Operate as the internal champion for technology alliances, building simple, repeatable playbooks that help internal teams and partner stakeholders co-sell and co-market effectively.

Represent NetBox Labs at partner summits, industry forums, and ecosystem events worldwide, engaging partner executives across regions, cultures, and time zones.

Experience with open source ecosystems or community-driven platform businesses; familiarity with network source of truth, IPAM, DCIM, or automation tooling such as Ansible, Nornir, or Terraform.

Background in product management, solutions engineering, or technical pre-sales — fluency in integration architecture discussions.

A successful record in large, complex deal negotiations; experience with hyperscaler marketplaces, global price lists, or channel/alliance programs at major technology vendors.

Understanding of agentic AI, MCP (Model Context Protocol), or API-first platform architectures and how they are reshaping enterprise infrastructure management.

International experience — living, working, or managing alliances across regions; additional languages are a plus.
