About the role
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 lead a team and partner closely with Partner team, Product, Marketing, and Sales.

- 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 mult
