4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Total Ecosystem Contribution to Revenue
The percentage of total company revenue that is directly sourced or significantly influenced by our global partner ecosystem.
Target · Increase from 25% to 35% within 2 years

If total company revenue is £100M, and £30M comes through partners, that's a 30% contribution. We want to see that number climb.

Partner Business Unit P&L
The overall profitability and financial health of the global alliances business unit, including partner programme costs, MDF ROI, and partner-driven revenue.
Target · Achieve a positive P&L contribution within 18 months, growing to £5M+ annually

You'll be accountable for a £2M budget for partner programmes and MDF, and your team needs to deliver £10M+ in revenue to make it a net positive for the company.

Growth Rate of Partner Business vs. Direct Sales
Comparing the year-over-year growth rate of partner-driven revenue against our direct sales revenue to ensure the ecosystem is scaling faster or at least on par.
Target · Partner business growth rate > 1.2x direct sales growth rate

If direct sales grew 20%, we'd expect partner business to grow at least 24%.

Strategic Integrations Launched & Adopted
The number of high-impact product integrations with strategic partners that are successfully launched and seeing measurable customer adoption.
Target · Launch 3-5 major integrations per year, with 70%+ adoption rate within 6 months of launch

We launched a new integration with Salesforce Service Cloud. Are 70% of our joint customers actually using it? That's what we'll be looking at.

Partner Retention & Satisfaction
Keeping our most valuable partners engaged and happy, measured through formal surveys and anecdotal feedback from your team.
Target · Maintain 90%+ retention of Tier 1 partners; achieve 8/10+ average partner satisfaction score

We don't just want partners; we want sticky partners who see real value in working with us.

Executive Relationship Strength
How deeply embedded you and your team are with C-suite and senior leadership at our most strategic partners, leading to truly joint initiatives.
  • You're getting calls from partner CEOs for advice, not just sales updates. You're invited to their internal strategic planning sessions. Your team has established regular, productive QBRs at the executive level.
Strategic Influence on Product Roadmap
Your ability to shape our internal product development based on ecosystem needs and partner feedback, ensuring we build what's necessary for joint success.
  • Product leadership actively seeks your input on new features. Partner-driven requirements appear on our product roadmap. We're building integrations that unlock entirely new market segments because you pushed for them.
Market Perception of Ecosystem
How our partner ecosystem is viewed by industry analysts, customers, and competitors—as a differentiator and a source of innovation.
  • Analysts are writing positively about our partner programme. Customers are actively asking for our joint solutions. Competitors are trying to replicate our partner model. We're winning 'Partner Programme of the Year' awards.
Organisational Health & Talent Development
The effectiveness of your global alliances team, including talent retention, skill development, and creating a strong, collaborative culture.
  • Low attrition rates within your team. Internal promotions and career growth for your direct reports. Your team is seen as a desirable place to work internally. You're a magnet for top talent in the alliances space.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building a Global Business Engine

You're energised by the idea of creating something that significantly scales our company's reach and revenue. You love seeing your strategic plans come to life through partner execution, knowing that you're directly contributing to the company's overall success.

Watching the partner-sourced revenue number climb each quarter, knowing your team's strategy and hard work made it happen.

Influencing Enterprise Strategy

You thrive on having a seat at the executive table, where your insights on the ecosystem directly influence our product roadmap, go-to-market motions, and even potential M&A targets. You want to shape the company's future, not just execute someone else's plan.

Successfully advocating for a critical product integration that unlocks a new market segment for us and a key partner.

Leading & Developing High-Performing Teams

You get a real kick out of seeing your direct reports and their teams grow, develop, and achieve ambitious goals. You enjoy mentoring, coaching, and creating an environment where top talent can thrive and build their careers.

Promoting a Senior Alliance Manager to a Director role, knowing you've helped them develop the skills and confidence to take on more responsibility.

What frustrates people
  • The Attribution War: Constantly fighting to get credit for deals your alliance influenced, while sales reps try to claim 100% of the glory (and commission). You'll spend a fair bit of time being an internal auditor.
  • Partner Indifference ('Happy Ears'): Your partner executives say 'yes' to everything in the QBR, but their teams on the ground are unresponsive, untrained, and unmotivated to actually do anything. You'll need to figure out how to light a fire under them.
  • Internal Competition for Resources: Begging for scraps of time from Product, Engineering, and Marketing, who are all measured on metrics that don't always include 'making a partner successful.' You're constantly making the case for why your work matters to them.
  • The 18-Month Horizon vs. The 3-Month Quota: Leadership wants you to build deep, strategic, moat-building alliances, but the CFO wants to see a hockey-stick revenue chart by next quarter. Balancing these competing demands is a constant tightrope walk.
  • Inheriting a 'Logo-Chasing' Alliance: Taking over a partnership that was signed for a press release but has no actual substance, and having to either make it real or diplomatically kill it without political fallout. It's not always glamorous.
What this role does not give you
  • A 9-to-5, predictable schedule. This is a global role, so early mornings and late nights are common.
  • Direct control over all resources. You'll rely heavily on influence and collaboration, not command and control.
  • A quiet, solitary work environment. You'll be constantly interacting with people, both internally and externally.
  • Instant gratification. Building a successful ecosystem takes time, patience, and persistence.

6Who you work with

This role directly impacts our global revenue growth, market share, and competitive position. You're building an external sales force and product extension that significantly broadens our reach and accelerates our time to market. Frankly, you're responsible for how we scale beyond our own four walls.

Inside the business
  • Chief Revenue Officer (CRO)
  • Chief Product Officer (CPO)
  • Chief Marketing Officer (CMO)
  • Chief Financial Officer (CFO)
  • Regional Sales VPs
  • Legal Counsel
  • HR Business Partners
Outside the business
  • C-Suite executives of strategic partners (e.g., Microsoft, AWS, Accenture)
  • Industry analysts and consultants
  • Investors and Board members
  • Key customers of joint solutions

7What you need before you start

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

  • Proven track record of building and scaling global alliance programmes that deliver significant revenue contribution (£2M+ P&L accountability).
  • Extensive experience leading and developing large, geographically dispersed teams (25+ direct and indirect reports).
  • Demonstrable experience in executive-level negotiation and relationship management with C-suite stakeholders at major global companies.
  • Deep understanding of enterprise software/SaaS business models and how partnerships drive growth.
  • Experience presenting to Board of Directors or investor groups, defending strategic plans and financial performance.
  • Strong financial acumen, including P&L management, budgeting, and forecasting for a business unit.

8What to practise next

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

Cloud Marketplace & API Economy Mastery

The shift to cloud marketplaces and an API-driven economy is fundamentally changing how software is bought, sold, and integrated. Your deep understanding of these models will be crucial for designing future-proof partner strategies and revenue streams.

Cloud Marketplace GTM Motions · API Productisation & Monetisation · Data Clean Rooms & Secure Data Sharing · Embedded Finance & Fintech Partnerships

  • Next 3 months: Deep dive into the latest cloud marketplace reports and analyst insights; understand the economics of different marketplace models.
  • Next 6 months: Collaborate with Product and Engineering to identify 2-3 new API-driven partnership opportunities.
  • Next 9 months: Lead the launch of a new solution on a major cloud marketplace, taking it from concept to revenue generation.
  • Next 12 months: Develop a multi-year strategy for how marketplaces and APIs will contribute to 20%+ of our partner-sourced revenue.

Quick win: Schedule a meeting with our Cloud Alliances Director (if we have one) to understand their biggest challenges and opportunities. Read up on the latest trends in embedded finance and how it's impacting SaaS.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly attending and speaking at industry conferences focused on partnerships, ecosystems, and international business (e.g., ASAP Global Alliance Summit, SaaStr Annual).
  • Participating in executive leadership programmes or peer groups focused on global business strategy and P&L management.
  • Mentoring rising talent within the alliances space, both internally and externally.
  • Publishing thought leadership articles or whitepapers on the future of ecosystems and strategic partnerships.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Driven Ecosystem Orchestration

AI isn't just for individual productivity anymore; it's becoming critical for strategic decision-making at an ecosystem level. Competitors will use AI to identify partner gaps, predict market shifts, and automate partner lifecycle management. If you don't, you'll be left behind.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

AI isn't just for individual productivity anymore; it's becoming critical for strategic decision-making at an ecosystem level. Competitors will use AI to identify partner gaps, predict market shifts, and automate partner lifecycle management. If you don't, you'll be left behind.

  • Predictive Partner Analytics
  • Automated Partner Lifecycle Management
  • Market Opportunity Identification
  • Ethical AI & Bias Mitigation

ESG & Sustainable Alliances

Investors, customers, and employees increasingly demand that companies demonstrate strong Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices. Our partners will expect us to align on these values, and joint solutions that address ESG challenges will become a competitive differentiator. Ignoring this means missing out on a growing market segment and potentially damaging our reputation.

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 VP, Global Alliances & Ecosystem is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, leading a global alliances organisation involves a mountain of data, strategic planning, and executive communication. Imagine if you could cut through the noise and focus more on the big strategic plays. That's where AI comes in.

We're not talking about replacing your strategic brain; we're talking about giving you a powerful co-pilot. Our internal AI Hub provides tools and frameworks that can automate the tedious parts of your job, giving you back precious hours to focus on what truly matters: building relationships, defining strategy, and driving significant revenue through our partners.

Strategic Partner Portfolio Optimisation

An AI tool that analyses market trends, competitor ecosystems, and our existing partner performance to identify gaps and opportunities. It can suggest potential M&A targets or new partner categories to pursue, giving you data-driven insights for your next big move. Think of it as a strategic consultant that never sleeps.

Ecosystem Health & Risk Prediction

Uses AI to continuously monitor dozens of data points across your global partner base – everything from pipeline generation and training completions to executive engagement and support tickets. It then provides a predictive 'health score' for each partner, flagging at-risk relationships or emerging superstars before they become obvious. You'll get early warnings and proactive recommendations.

Board & Investor Briefing Generation

Connects to our internal data sources (Salesforce, Anaplan, Tableau) to automatically draft the first version of your Board presentations and investor updates. It pulls key ecosystem metrics, charts performance against goals, and even suggests strategic narratives or talking points for Q&A. You'll spend less time on slide prep and more time refining the message.

Global GTM Strategy Simulation

An AI-powered simulator that allows you to model the potential impact of new partner programmes, compensation changes, or market expansion strategies. Input different variables, and it'll predict revenue outcomes, channel conflict risks, and resource requirements. This helps you make more informed decisions before committing significant resources.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a VP, Global Alliances & Ecosystem, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 1 national skill standard. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a VP, Global Alliances & Ecosystem: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Other roles at Level 7

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in International Business Global

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you develop here—global strategic leadership, P&L management, ecosystem building, and executive influence—are highly transferable. You could easily move into similar executive roles in other SaaS companies, enterprise software, or even adjacent industries like FinTech, HealthTech, or Supply Chain tech, especially those with complex global go-to-market models.
