  • Develop co‑branded marketing assets and run joint campaigns with partners.
  • Support partner teams with proposals, demos, RFPs, and solution positioning.
  • Revenue & Performance Management

  • Drive and track partner-sourced and partner‑influenced revenue.
  • Build dashboards and reporting on partner pipeline, performance, and ROI.
  • Ensure quarterly and annual revenue targets are met through partnerships.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate with sales, marketing, and product teams to ensure smooth partner integration.
  • Align with leadership on strategic accounts and co‑sell opportunities.
  • Advocacy and Market Representation

  • Represent Arabic AI at industry events, conferences, and partner forums.
  • Build strong advocacy networks with decision-makers and influencers within partner organizations.
  • Monitor competitive landscape and identify new partnership opportunities.
  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Communications, or a related field (MBA preferred).
  • At least 10 years of experience in business development, partnerships, strategic alliances, or a related role.
  • Proven track record of building and scaling partner ecosystems in GCC / MENA.
  • Experience working with hyperscalers (Azure, AWS, GCP), GSIs, and local SIs.
  • Demonstrated success in driving partner‑sourced revenue and co‑sell initiatives.
  • Previous experience in AI, SaaS, Cloud, or IT services organizations strongly preferred.
