Global Alliance Lead, Accenture

Global Alliance Lead for Accenture

The Global Alliance Lead for Accenture is one of the most strategically important roles in our ecosystem. You will own our most significant global system integrator relationship end-to-end — from C-suite engagement through to practitioner enablement and joint pipeline creation. You will be the architect of how Accenture and New Co go to market together, ensuring our platform becomes embedded in Accenture's AI and data delivery practice globally.

This is a senior individual contributor role reporting to the Global Head of GSI Relationships. You will orchestrate across sales, partner solution architecture, marketing, and partner operations — bringing the full weight of the organization to bear on one of our highest-leverage commercial relationships.

Relationship strategy and executive engagement

• Define and execute a multi-year joint strategy that positions dbt + Fivetran as the default open data infrastructure layer within Accenture's enterprise AI delivery
• Represent New Co at Accenture's internal forums, client briefings, and industry events — articulating a compelling narrative around open data infrastructure and its relevance to Accenture's cost and productivity reinvention agenda.

Platform integration and practitioner adoption

• Drive adoption of the dbt + Fivetran platform within Accenture's delivery teams — ensuring practitioners, solution architects and practice leads are certified, confident, and actively recommending the platform in client engagements

• Partner with Accenture's marketing and alliances teams to develop joint go-to-market campaigns anchored to open data infrastructure and trusted AI delivery
• Support Accenture in building and positioning client-facing agentic AI value accelerators with New Co platform as the foundational data layer — the "New Co inside" model

• Source and develop new pipeline opportunities through the Accenture relationship — identifying client situations where open data infrastructure creates measurable value
• Drive co-sell motions alongside Accenture account teams, ensuring New Co is present and influential at the point of client opportunity
• Maintain a rigorous view of Accenture-engaged pipeline — tracking opportunity sourcing, progression, and closed business attributed to the alliance

Telemetry and performance

• Report regularly to the Global Head of GSI Relationships on alliance health, pipeline contribution, and strategic progress
• Identify risks and gaps in the relationship early and mobilize internal resources to address them

• 10+ years of experience in strategic alliances, enterprise sales, or partner management within the data, cloud, or enterprise software industry
• Demonstrated experience managing complex, global relationships with major consulting firms or global system integrators at a senior level
• Deep understanding of the modern data stack and the business value of open data infrastructure — dbt, Fivetran, or equivalent experience strongly preferred
• Ability to engage credibly at C-suite and partner level within a global consulting organization — understanding how GSIs make decisions, build practices, and go to market
• Strong commercial instincts — able to identify, thoroughly qualify and develop joint pipeline opportunities, not just manage existing relationships
• Track record of operating as a cross-functional orchestrator — influencing without direct…
