About the Role
SecurityScorecard is looking for a revenue-driving alliances leader to own and scale our OEM data licensing, GSI solution partnerships, and AWS Marketplace co-sell motions. This is not a marketing or channel role, this is a quota-carrying ecosystem revenue function that sits at the center of SSC’s indirect growth strategy. Your mission is simple: Turn SSC’s third-party risk data into an embedded product partners can sell, build on, and monetize.
You will build and run a focused set of high-value partnerships across OEM data buyers, global system integrators, cybersecurity ISVs, and AWS. You will negotiate licensing models, activate partner field teams, sequence integrations (with light technical depth), and deliver partner-sourced ARR. You will work closely with Product, Architecture, and Sales to ensure partners can use SSC APIs, build integrations, and take joint solutions to market. You own the number, the GTM cadence, and the partner roadmap.
What You Will Own
OEM Data Licensing & Embedded Partnerships
- License SSC’s data (APIs, datasets, ratings) into partners like Snowflake, Tanium, cyber risk platforms, and ISVs
- Build monetizable OEM motions: embedded datasets, field-enrichment, partner-offer bundles
- Negotiate commercial terms and revenue models
- Identify new OEM use cases and create go-to-market playbooks
Global System Integrators
- Build GSI solutions around MAX/SCDR and data licensing
- Drive partner-sourced pipeline and co-sell programs
- Map SSC value to SI practice economics (billable hours, transformation programs, risk offerings)
- Build scalable industry plays with advisory teams
AWS Marketplace & Co-Sell
- Grow revenue through AWS Marketplace channel
- Engage AWS PDMs, ISV Accelerate, and Private Offers
- Develop joint solutions with AWS Security and TPRM teams
- Move SSC into top AWS program tiers (> $10M)
Integrations & Ecosystem Enablement
- Prioritize inbound partner integration requests
- Work with SSC architects to scope, demo, and support partner-built integrations
- Maintain the top 20–25 integrations that matter for ecosystem activation
- Ensure partners can build on SSC APIs (partner-first model)
Partner GTM Execution & Revenue Ownership
- Own a partner-sourced/influenced quota
- Run partner QBRs, forecasting, and accountability
- Ensure SSC is listed, discoverable, and transactable across partner marketplaces
- Drive disciplined partner pipeline, tracking, and reporting
Who You Are
- An alliances builder with OEM/data licensing experience. You’ve sold or negotiated embedded data/API products
- Deep exposure to cybersecurity ISVs and security workflows (CrowdStrike, Wiz, Okta, ServiceNow, Tanium, Snowflake, Snyk, etc.)
- Hands-on with AWS co-sell and Marketplace
- Familiar with GSI monetization models and advisory-led offerings
- Able to operate with limited engineering resources and push partners to build
- Hunter mentality: you drive revenue and run deals down, not just manage relationships
- Communicates crisply with CEOs and partner execs
- Thrives in high-change, resource-constrained environments
Qualifications:
- 10+ years leading strategic alliances or technology partnerships within enterprise SaaS.
- Deep cybersecurity domain expertise required, including strong understanding of security operations, threat intelligence, vulnerability and risk management, and how enterprise security teams evaluate and buy solutions.
- Proven ability to develop and scale partnerships with GSIs, MSPs, MSSPs, cloud ecosystem providers, cybersecurity vendors, and ISVs.
- Demonstrated success driving partner influenced pipeline, shaping joint solutions, and executing complex alliances.
- Strong understanding of GSI operating models, partner practice structures, and joint GTM motions.
- Ability to balance technical fluency with commercial thinking and executive level communication.
- Experience influencing product and engineering priorities to support ecosystem growth.
- Highly organized with strong urgency, clear communication, and a builder mindset.
- Bachelor’s degree required.
