As part of a high-performing Alliances organization, you’ll help create the cadence, visibility, coordination, and follow-through needed to turn strategic partner relationships into measurable business value.

This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career professional to gain direct exposure to leading technology companies, internal Sales and CTO leadership, and the strategies and operations behind how a large IT solutions provider develops, manages, and grows enterprise partnerships across multiple markets.

• Support the day-to-day execution of designated enterprise OEM relationships, working closely with the Sr. Alliance Manager and partner channel teams.
• Coordinate enterprise partner priorities across Defense, Federal Civilian, SLED, and Commercial business units.
• Support recurring partner engagements, including QBRs, EBCs, business reviews, planning sessions, and internal alignment meetings.

• Identify and surface risks, gaps, and opportunities to the Sr. Alliance Manager and assist in driving cross-functional resolution.
• Identify opportunities to strengthen partner cadence, reporting, processes, and the overall partner experience.
• Partner with Alliance Operations on supplier enablement and routine administrative requirements as needed; this role does not own new supplier onboarding.

• Strong organizational and project coordination skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, stakeholders, deadlines, and follow-up actions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence to work effectively with both internal teams and external technology partners.
• Analytical and process-oriented mindset; experience or exposure to CRM systems, reporting, data management, Excel, or Power BI is a plus.
• Collaborative, proactive approach with an interest in building a career in partnerships, alliances, channel management, sales, or technology.
• Bachelor’s degree with 2–5 years of industry experience in operations, sales, marketing, consulting, supply chain, technology, or a related field.
