7How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Partner-Sourced Revenue (Managed Portfolio)

The total revenue generated from deals where a partner was the primary source of the opportunity, across your team's managed portfolio.

Target · Achieve 100-120% of the assigned £5M-£20M annual revenue target.

Your team's target is £10M for the year. By Q3, you've hit £8M, putting you on track for 107% of target, assuming Q4 performs similarly.

Partner Pipeline Generation

The total value of new sales opportunities generated by your team's partners.

Target · Generate 3-4x the annual revenue target in qualified partner pipeline (e.g., £15M-£80M).

If your revenue target is £10M, we'd expect to see £30M-£40M in new partner-sourced pipeline added to the CRM each year, ensuring a healthy funnel.

Team Performance & Retention

How well your direct reports are hitting their individual targets and their overall retention rate.

Target · 80%+ of Alliance Managers in your team achieve their individual revenue/pipeline targets; maintain 90%+ team retention annually.

In Q2, 6 out of 7 team members hit their individual targets, and no one left the team, showing strong leadership and support.

Ecosystem Contribution to Company Revenue

The percentage of total company revenue that comes from partner-influenced or partner-sourced deals.

Target · Increase ecosystem contribution by 5-10 percentage points year-on-year (e.g., from 20% to 25-30%).

Last year, partners accounted for 22% of total revenue. This year, under your leadership, that figure climbs to 28%, demonstrating significant strategic impact.

Strategic Partner Engagement & Health

The depth and effectiveness of relationships with our most critical partners, moving beyond transactional interactions.

Partners proactively seek our input on their strategy
executive-level relationships are strong (C-level to C-level)
partners are investing their own resources (people, marketing spend) into joint initiatives
regular, productive Joint Business Planning (JBP) and Quarterly Business Review (QBR) sessions with clear action items and follow-through.

Internal Sales Alignment & Conflict Reduction

How well your team and partners are working with our direct sales force, minimising friction and maximising co-sell opportunities.

Direct sales leaders view your team as a strategic asset
formal and informal feedback from sales reps indicates smooth co-selling motions
channel conflict incidents are decreasing year-on-year
your team is proactively identifying and resolving potential conflicts before they escalate
clear Rules of Engagement (ROE) are understood and followed.

Team Development & Coaching

Your ability to mentor, coach, and develop the Alliance Managers on your team, helping them grow their careers and capabilities.

Team members are consistently hitting their targets
positive feedback from direct reports in engagement surveys
clear development plans are in place for each team member
successful promotions within your team
you're seen as a trusted advisor and problem-solver for your team's challenges.

Innovation & New Partner GTM

Your contribution to identifying new types of partners or new go-to-market models that open up untapped revenue streams.

Successful launch of new partner programmes or initiatives
identification and onboarding of novel partner types (e.g., ISVs, consultancies, MSPs) that deliver new revenue
development of unique co-sell or sell-through motions that differentiate us in the market
you're bringing fresh ideas to leadership for ecosystem expansion.

8Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Building and Leading a High-Impact Team

You get a real kick out of seeing your team members develop, hit their targets, and grow their careers. You'll spend a good chunk of your day coaching, mentoring, and removing roadblocks for your Alliance Managers, celebrating their wins, and helping them learn from losses.

One of your junior Alliance Managers closes their first major co-sell deal, and you feel as much pride (if not more) than if you'd closed it yourself.

Shaping Strategic Direction & Ecosystem Growth

You're driven by the big picture – defining which partners we should pursue, how we should work with them, and how alliances can unlock new markets. You'll be building the frameworks and processes that guide our entire partner programme, not just executing on existing ones.

You present a new partner GTM strategy to the SVP of Sales, and they greenlight a significant investment based on your vision and business case.

Tangible Revenue & Business Impact

Ultimately, you're a sales leader. You're motivated by seeing your team's efforts translate into significant, measurable revenue for the company. You'll be deep in the numbers, analysing pipeline, conversion rates, and the ROI of partner investments.

You see the quarterly report showing your team's partner-sourced revenue has exceeded target by 15%, directly contributing to the company's overall growth.

What frustrates people

The constant internal 'sales war' where direct sales views partners as competition, requiring endless justification and mediation.
Dealing with partner apathy or 'all hat, no cattle' situations where partners fail to deliver on commitments.
The relentless challenge of attribution – spending hours arguing over who 'owns' a deal because compensation depends on it.
Fighting for internal resources (marketing budget, product roadmap slots, legal time) for partners when direct sales often gets priority.
Being accountable for a multi-million-pound partner revenue target without direct authority over partner sales teams or our own field reps.
The 're-org shuffle' where a key executive sponsor at a partner company leaves, forcing you to rebuild relationships from scratch.

What this role does not give you

A quiet, predictable work environment with minimal conflict.
Direct control over all the variables that impact your team's revenue targets.
A role where you can avoid internal politics or complex stakeholder negotiations.
A focus solely on individual contribution without the responsibility of team development and management.

9Who you work with

This role directly shapes our partner go-to-market strategy, impacting a significant portion of our company's revenue (typically £5M-£20M+ annually through partners). You're responsible for the health and growth of a critical sales channel, influencing our market reach, product adoption, and overall sales efficiency. Your decisions on partner selection, enablement, and conflict resolution have a direct impact on our brand reputation and financial performance.

10What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

Proven track record of successfully managing a portfolio of strategic alliances and exceeding revenue targets (typically £2M+).
Demonstrated experience in leading, mentoring, and developing a team of sales or alliance professionals (3+ direct reports for at least 3 years).
Deep expertise in Joint Business Planning (JBP) and designing effective partner go-to-market (GTM) strategies.
Strong commercial acumen, including P&L management and budget allocation for partner programmes (e.g., MDF).
Exceptional executive presence and communication skills, with a history of influencing C-level stakeholders.
A solid understanding of CRM (Salesforce) and PRM (Impartner/Allbound) platforms, including strategic implementation and optimisation.
Experience in navigating and resolving complex channel conflict situations.

11What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced PRM & CRM Ecosystem Architecture

Important within 12 months—as our partner ecosystem grows in complexity, the integration and optimisation of our PRM (Impartner/Allbound) and CRM (Salesforce) become paramount. You'll need to understand how these systems can be architected to support multi-tier partners, complex compensation models, and advanced data flows. If our systems can't keep up, our growth will be stifled.

API integrations & data synchronisation · Customisation & scalability · Security & compliance in data sharing · User experience (UX) for partner portals

This quarter: Schedule deep-dive sessions with our Sales Operations and IT teams to understand current PRM/CRM architecture and limitations.
Next quarter: Lead a project to identify 3 key areas where our current PRM/CRM setup hinders partner growth, and propose solutions.
Month 6: Research best-in-class PRM/CRM integrations from other companies in our industry and present findings to leadership.
Ongoing: Stay updated on new features and updates for Salesforce, Impartner, or other relevant platforms.

Quick win: Review your team's common complaints about the PRM/CRM and work with Sales Ops to implement one quick fix that improves their daily workflow.

Financial Modelling for Complex Partnership Structures

Critical within 6 months—as we pursue more sophisticated partnerships (e.g., joint ventures, revenue share models for embedded solutions), your ability to build and critically evaluate complex financial models will be essential. This isn't just about simple MDF ROI; it's about understanding the long-term P&L implications of strategic alliances. Frankly, if you can't model the money, you can't make the strategic case.

Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) for partnership value · Scenario analysis & sensitivity testing · Revenue recognition for complex contracts · Cost of Partner Acquisition (CPA) & Lifetime Value (LTV)

This week: Review our current financial models for our most complex partnerships with a finance business partner.
This month: Take an online course on advanced Excel modelling or financial valuation techniques.
Month 2: Build a simple financial model for a hypothetical new partnership structure (e.g., a joint venture with revenue share).
Month 3: Present your model to a finance colleague for feedback and refinement, learning from their expertise.

Quick win: Work with Finance to get a clearer breakdown of the true 'cost of sale' for partner-sourced deals versus direct deals, to better inform your strategic decisions.

12Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend industry conferences (e.g., SaaS Alliance Summit, Channel Partners Conference) to stay abreast of market trends and network with peers.
Participate in executive leadership programmes or workshops focused on strategic partnerships, team management, or P&L ownership.
Engage in continuous learning around AI and data analytics, particularly how these technologies can be applied to partner ecosystem optimisation.
Seek out mentorship from senior leaders within our organisation or external industry experts in alliance management.
Contribute to thought leadership (e.g., blog posts, webinars) on alliance strategy and ecosystem growth.

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

Ecosystem Orchestration & Network Leadership

Critical within 12 months—our partners don't just work with us; they work with each other, and often with our competitors. The future isn't just about managing individual relationships, but about orchestrating a broader network of partners to create collective value and competitive advantage. If we don't do this, our ecosystem will become fragmented and less impactful.

AI-Driven Partner Insights & Predictive Analytics

Critical within 6 months—competitors are already using AI to identify ideal partners, predict partner churn, and optimise GTM strategies. If you're not using these tools to guide your team and strategy, you'll be making decisions with one hand tied behind your back. This isn't just about reporting; it's about foresight.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Alliance Manager is actually changing.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be honest, managing a team of Alliance Managers and a portfolio of strategic partnerships means a lot of moving parts. From digging through data to drafting strategic plans, there's always more to do than hours in the day. But what if you could offload some of that heavy lifting to smart AI tools? Imagine reclaiming hours each week to focus on what truly matters: high-level strategy, executive relationships, and developing your team.

AI isn't here to replace your strategic brain; it's here to be your co-pilot, handling the grunt work and surfacing insights faster than ever before. For an Alliance Manager Manager, this means less time wrestling with data and reports, and more time building impactful programmes and coaching your team. Think of it as having a super-efficient assistant for every aspect of your role.

Automated Partner Performance Insights

Imagine an AI tool that connects to Salesforce, your PRM (like Impartner), and even your finance systems. It automatically generates customisable weekly performance dashboards and alerts for each partner in your team's portfolio. It'll flag underperforming partners, highlight emerging trends, and even suggest areas for improvement. This means less time manually pulling data and more time acting on insights, allowing you to proactively coach your team and engage partners.

Next-Gen Partner Identification & Vetting

Feed data from your top-performing partners (industry, customer overlap, tech stack, GTM motion) into an AI model. It can then generate a data-driven 'Ideal Partner Profile' and scour public data to identify a targeted list of 50-100 lookalike recruitment candidates. This isn't just about finding partners; it's about finding the right partners, saving your team countless hours on speculative outreach and ensuring strategic alignment from day one.

Strategic QBR & JBP Drafting Assistant

Preparing for Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and Joint Business Plans (JBPs) for your strategic partners, and overseeing your team's, is a huge time sink. Use an AI assistant to analyse past performance data, internal meeting notes, and partner communications to draft a comprehensive first version of these critical documents. It can even pull out key achievements, challenges, and proposed next steps, giving you a massive head start and ensuring consistency across your team's output.

Executive Communication & Conflict Scripting

Crafting the perfect email to a partner CEO or preparing for a tricky channel conflict discussion takes thought. AI can help draft initial versions of executive communications, key talking points for difficult conversations, or even 'what-if' scenarios for complex negotiations. You'll still add your strategic nuance, but the AI gives you a solid foundation, ensuring clarity and impact in high-stakes interactions.
