** What you will do*
* In this role, you will define and lead the technical strategy and execution of Teradata's most complex, high-impact engineering, AI, and  
** strategic partnership programs
** across Vantage Cloud and Clear Scape Analytics.

You will own the end-to-end lifecycle of large, cross-functional initiatives, shaping both the problem and solution in ambiguous spaces. You will set program direction-mission, goals, and success metrics-and drive execution with clear tradeoffs across scope, time, cost, and risk.

A core focus  
** is leading ISV and technology partner integrations
** from activation through customer adoption and revenue impact. You will translate partnership strategy into execution, ensuring solutions are fully integrated, productized, operationally supported, and monetized.

You will partner across Product, Engineering, Architecture, and Commercial teams to align partnerships with platform priorities and growth goals, defining success across adoption, readiness, performance, and revenue contribution.

You will lead complex integrations (data platforms, cloud, APIs, security), guiding architectural tradeoffs and ensuring enterprise-grade quality, scalability, and lifecycle management. You will also drive end-to-end partner launch readiness, coordinating across engineering, product, legal, pricing, GTM, and operations to enable repeatable, scalable launches.

More broadly, you will align teams, influence architectural direction, and remove systemic constraints. You will use data-driven decision-making to manage priorities and risk, while embedding AI into execution to improve visibility, speed, and outcomes.

Success in this role means delivering complex programs that accelerate platform innovation, scale partner ecosystems, and drive measurable business impact.

** Who you will work with**  

You will work across Teradata's Engineering, AI, Analytics, Applications, and UX teams to ensure programs are executed with clarity, visibility, and technical rigor.

You will partner closely with Product Management, Engineering, Architecture, Cloud Operations, Security, Compliance, and Customer Support to deliver key capabilities and ensure readiness and adoption.
