You will work cross-functionally with sales, marketing, partner innovation and engagement, and product teams to create and execute partner-led strategies that generate pipeline and deliver measurable business impact.

- Develop joint value propositions and solution plays with partners that can be scaled and replicated across the region.
- Own partner business planning from first engagement to activation, supported by Partner Enablement and Marketing teams.
- Champion the adoption of ABBYY’s Global Channel Program and align partners to tiering, incentives, and enablement paths.
- Track, measure, and report on influenced and sourced pipeline from new partners.
Job Requirements:
- Experience in Intelligent Automation (RPA, IDP, BPM, or similar), with a solid grasp of how solutions are built and sold.
- Track record of developing new partner relationships that resulted in measurable pipeline and/or revenue.
- Understanding of both enterprise sales and partner-led sales motions, ideally with exposure to SIs, consultancies, and/or ISVs.
- Ability to thrive in matrix environments, collaborating across sales, product, and marketing.
- Highly motivated, entrepreneurial mindset, not afraid to take the ownership of initiatives
- Flexibility to travel as needed
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience in business, sales, or related field.
- Drive adoption of the Global Channel Program
