About the Role

We are looking for a Sr. Director to own Acquia's Technology Alliance Partnerships (TAP) ecosystem end to end. Our TAP program is large, diverse and growing: It includes large platform ISVs such as Salesforce and HubSpot, key Martech integrations for our DAM and other products, cloud platforms like AWS, OEM relationships such as Cloudflare and Akamai, and a new class of content-creation partners like Figma.

 

You will set and own the overall Technology Alliance Partnership strategy with Product for how these partners integrate with and extend the Acquia platform, drive go-to-market with our most important existing partners, and recruit and launch the next key integrations. This is a builder's role for someone who can operate as both a strategist and an operator: shaping the vision, then landing the partnerships and executing the business models that prove it out. You will lead a team and partner closely with Partner team, Product, Marketing, and Sales.

What You Will Do

  • Develop and own the Technology Alliance Partner strategy across ISV, DAM, platform, OEM, and content-creator partner types.
  • Manage Acquia's most strategic technology partnerships including joint planning.
  • Own the AWS partnership, including co-sell, marketplace, and platform alignment.
  • Build and execute joint go-to-market plans with key partners that generate qualified leads and sourced pipeline.
  • Identify, recruit, and launch new technology partners, from initial evaluation through integration and GTM readiness.
  • Build out a new business model for OEM relationships that scales revenue and clarifies packaging, pricing, and motion.
  • Work cross-functionally with Product to understand the roadmap, prioritize key integrations, and align partner investments to where the platform is going.
  • Partner with Marketing on joint campaigns and participation in marketing and partner events.
  • Partner with Sales on OEM partnerships and co-sell deals, supporting the field where partner leverage moves opportunities forward.
  • Lead, coach, and grow a team of technology alliance managers.

What You Bring

  • 10+ years in technology alliances, ISV partnerships, business development, or ecosystem strategy, with progressive leadership responsibility.
  • A track record of building and scaling technology partner programs and generating measurable partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline.
  • Direct experience owning or building co-sell motions with a hyperscaler (AWS strongly preferred) and familiarity with cloud marketplace mechanics.
  • Fluency across multiple partner models: ISV integrations, OEM and embed relationships, and platform alliances.
  • Strong cross-functional influence with Product, Marketing, and Sales, and comfort operating at the executive level internally and with partners.
  • Commercial sensibility: you can construct partnership business models, not just relationships.

Nice to Have

  • Experience in DXP, CMS, DAM, martech, or adjacent SaaS categories.
  • Familiarity with the Drupal or open-source ecosystem.
  • Prior experience standing up or reshaping an OEM business model.
  • People-leadership experience, with a history of hiring, developing, and retaining strong alliance talent.

What Success Looks Like

  • A clear, prioritized technology alliance strategy adopted across the partnership org and validated by Product and Sales.
  • A functioning OEM business model with named partners generating revenue.
  • A high-performing, well-run team.

We are an organization that embraces innovation and the potential of AI to enhance our processes and improve our work. We are always looking for individuals who are open to learning new technologies and collaborating with AI tools to achieve our goals.

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunities to qualified people with disabilities. To measure this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
