Job Description

Here at Appian, our values of Intensity and Excellence define who we are. We set high standards and live up to them, ensuring that everything we do is done with care and quality. We approach every challenge with ambition and commitment, holding ourselves and each other accountable to achieve the best results. When you join Appian, you’ll be part of a passionate team dedicated to accomplishing hard things, together.

Partner Sales Manager / Director – Regional Strategic Partners

The Global Alliances & Channels team at Appian plays a critical role in accelerating our global growth. We are seeking a Global Partner Director to lead and own Appian’s strategic relationship with a portfolio of key Regional System Integrators and Strategic Partners. This is a high-impact, senior leadership role with global accountability and a primary focus on accelerating growth across Iberia and LATAM.

This individual will serve as the owner of this partner portfolio globally, responsible for executive alignment, pipeline creation, joint solution development, and scalable go-to-market execution. This is not a transactional partner role. You will be entrusted with some of Appian’s most strategic regional partnerships, with the mandate to shape joint strategy, accelerate growth, and build a scalable, long-term business with these firms. Your impact will be visible, measurable, and critical to Appian’s success in Iberia, LATAM, and beyond.

In this role, you will:

Own and lead the global strategic relationship with assigned partners, acting as Appian’s executive partner to their senior leadership.
Drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline and revenue growth, with a strong emphasis on Iberia and LATAM.
Orchestrate tight alignment between Appian’s field sales leadership and the partners' account, delivery, and executive teams.
Lead joint account planning, opportunity planning, and disciplined co-selling motions across priority accounts.
Incubate, launch, and scale joint offerings, including industry solutions, managed services, and BPO-led propositions built on Appian.
Build and scale the partners' Appian delivery capability, ensuring strong practices, certifications, and repeatable delivery excellence.
Develop and execute a multi-year GTM strategy that positions Appian as a strategic platform within each partner's portfolio.
Evangelize Appian’s value proposition within the partner organizations to build sustained executive mindshare and long-term commitment.
Serve as a trusted advisor internally, providing insight into partner strategies, operating models, and regional priorities.

About You:

Bachelor’s degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or related field (MBA or advanced degree preferred).
15+ years of experience in enterprise software, strategic alliances, or GSI leadership roles.
Deep, demonstrable experience working with Iberian-based System Integrators, including a strong understanding of their organization, culture, decision-making processes, and regional dynamics.
Proven track record of building highly strategic, revenue-generating partnerships and scaling multiple partners simultaneously across regions.
Experience co-creating and commercializing joint solutions with systems integrators.
