Senior Partner Manager – Emerging Technology & Solutions

Salary: 85-90k base + bonus!

Role Overview

The Senior Partner Manager – Emerging Technology & Solutions is responsible for driving execution and alignment of identified partners against Insight’s GTM plays, with a focus on AI platforms, AI‑native ISVs, security partners, and select infrastructure partners.

As part of the Partner Alliances organization, this senior role carries specific accountability for activating partners in the field — particularly partners that are not formally managed today but are important to Insight’s technology and solution direction — by aligning them to GTM plays, enabling sales teams, and supporting real customer opportunities.

The role operates within a shared cross‑functional GTM operating model used by the broader Partner Alliances team. It does not own broader GTM strategy, campaign execution, or marketing plans, but is accountable for partner execution, readiness, and impact within those motions.

Key Responsibilities

Partner & Solution Ownership (Execution‑Focused)

  • Manage a focused portfolio of partners, including:
    • Identified emerging technology Managed partners
    • Non‑managed partners that are important to Insight’s emerging technology and solution priorities
  • Prioritize partners based on execution value, customer relevance, and solution fit, not program maturity or funding availability.
  • Own Insight’s execution‑oriented activities for the identified partners tied to:
    • Defined GTM plays as identified by the GTM team around AI, security, and infrastructure solution motion

GTM Play Alignment & Sales Support

(Primary Focus)

  • Align assigned partners directly to active GTM plays, ensuring:
    • Clear articulation of which plays each partner supports
    • Defined partner role within the play (foundational, enabling, differentiating)
  • Within the Partner Alliances × GTM operating model:
    • Ensure partners are reflected in sales enablement and campaigns
    • Translate GTM intent into practical, partner‑specific execution guidance
  • Actively support sales execution, especially where partners are:
    • New to Insight
    • Non‑managed
    • Less familiar to the field
      This includes helping sellers position partners, supporting live opportunities, and removing friction that slows execution.
  • Where appropriate, request and align partner marketing funds or investments to support GTM execution, while recognizing that:
    • Some partners do not have formal MDF, marketing, programs or rebate programs
    • Lack of funding is not a barrier to partner engagement or prioritization

This role is accountable for partner execution against GTM plays, not ownership of GTM or Sales enablement/Marketing strategy.

Solution & Use‑Case Enablement

  • Translate partner capabilities into clear, seller‑ready use cases aligned to GTM plays.
  • Work with Services and Solution line as appropriate to ensure:
    • Partner services are not conflicting with Insight offerings
    • Scope and dependencies are clear
    • Sales teams know how to qualify and position opportunities
    • Insight has the technical capabilities aligned to the focused partners
  • Focus on what works in customer environments, not theoretical solution design.

Security & Infrastructure Enablement

  • Ensure security partners are positioned as required components within relevant GTM plays (e.g., AI governance, identity, data protection).
  • Ensure infrastructure partners are:
    • Aligned to AI and security workloads
    • Positioned intentionally as solution foundations
    • Enabling Insight with technical delivery capabilities
    • Partner services are not conflicting with Insight offerings
  • Provide sales teams with clear guidance on when security and infrastructure partners are essential vs optional.

  • Partner Activation & Prioritization
  • Maintain a short, intentional list of partners actively aligned to GTM plays.
  • Drive partners from:
    • “Interesting but inactive”
      “Actively used in execution”
  • Recommend where Insight should:
    • Increase execution focus
    • Simplify partner overlap
    • Reduce low‑impact noise for the field

Senior Partner & Internal Engagement

  • Engage partner teams to align on:
    • Execution expectations
    • Support for priority opportunities
    • Resolution of gaps impacting sales or delivery
  • Act as a senior execution resource for Sales, Services, and GTM teams.

Explicitly Out of Scope

  • Ownership of GTM strategy or play definition
  • Campaign execution or marketing calendarsSuccess Measures
  • Partners (including non‑managed) actively contributing to GTM plays
  • Increased seller confidence using emerging technology partners
  • Partners showing up in real pipeline and delivery
  • Reduced friction when sales engages newer or less‑structured partners
  • Clear linkage between partner enablement and field execution
  • Revenue Growth for the focused partners

The Senior Partner Manager – Emerging Technology & Solutions ensures partners aligned to Insight’s technology direction are operationalized against GTM plays and actively support sales execution in the field.
