• Act as the global marketing lead for strategic partners, building trusted relationships and serving as the connective link between partner organisations, sales, and marketing teams.
• Lead the end‑to‑end design and delivery of joint global marketing initiatives, including thought leadership, events, webinars, content, and integrated demand campaigns, with a clear focus on measurable pipeline impact.
• Partner closely with specialist marketing teams (analytics, marketing operations, brand, content, creative, communications, and events) to deliver high‑quality, scalable partner marketing programs globally.
• Co‑create compelling joint messaging, content, and narratives with partners that clearly articulate shared value propositions, priority use cases, and customer success.
• Own the planning, governance, and optimisation of Market Development Funds (MDF), ensuring investment is strategically aligned and delivers strong ROI.
• Leverage partner channels, platforms, and ecosystems to extend reach, strengthen credibility, and accelerate awareness of joint data and AI solutions.

• Proven experience leading global B2B co‑marketing initiatives with large technology or platform partners, including ownership of Market Development Funds (MDF).
• Strong understanding of data, analytics, AI, and cloud technology ecosystems, and how to position these solutions in partnership‑led go‑to‑market motions.
• Demonstrated success driving demand generation, pipeline acceleration, and full‑funnel marketing at scale.
• Experience operating effectively within large, global, matrixed organisations.
• Highly skilled at influencing senior internal and external stakeholders across regions, without direct authority.
• A strong strategic thinker who is equally comfortable rolling up their sleeves to execute.
• Excellent partner‑facing communication and presentation skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear, compelling narratives.
• Strong program and project management capabilities, with experience running multiple global initiatives in parallel.
