London, United Kingdom IBM Full time

Introduction

Introduction: The 'IBM Ecosystem' includes thousands of partners who 'Build' on, 'Sell' or 'Service' IBM technologies and platforms. As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner Specialist your mission is to engage prospective partners to develop opportunities for them to embed IBM Software into their products or solutions, a key go-to-market aspect of IBM's Ecosystem referred to as the 'Build with IBM' program.

With an understanding of your Partners' solutions, competitive insights, design thinking, and architecture and developer principles, you'll develop an IBM Software point of view which encourages co-creation between IBM and your Partners. Positioning and closing Embedded Solution Agreements with your partners, you'll define business models that meet the needs of your partners, their clients, their addressable market, and IBM.

Your Role and Responsibilities

Naturally skilled in developing and cultivating professional relationships, you'll establish trusted advisor relationship with your Build partners.

You'll engage their interest by using interactive discussion techniques, use cases, and success stories that relate IBM's software strategy to their business needs. You'll use this as an opportunity to educate them, to uncover their relevant objectives or technical barriers to achieving their goals, and to identify and qualify additional sales opportunities to embed IBM Software.

Your primary responsibilities will include:
Constructing Business Cases with Design Thinking: Utilize design thinking, architecture, developer principles and competitive insights to create business cases that illustrate to partners the value of integrating IBM Software into the products or solutions they offer to their clients.

Enriching Partner Engagements with IBM's Capabilities: Enhance partner engagements with IBM's extensive capabilities to co-create solutions and collaborate with Partner Technical Specialists to develop compelling mínimal viable products (MVPs) that result in investments in IBM's software or SaaS solutions.

Required Technical and Professional Expertise
- Expertise in Sales Territory Planning: Demonstrate expertise in sales territory planning, attracting and recruiting new partners, and stakeholder management that results in the successful development and delivery of joint business growth plans.
- Excellence in Relationship Building: Exhibit palpable excellence in building and nurturing professional relationships with key stakeholders, both externally and internally within IBM, achieved through effective listening and candid communication.
- Hands-On Sales Experience: Possess hands-on sales experience with a proven track record of forecasting, exceeding sales quotas and effectively managing partnership relationships.
- Ability to Identify Partner Motivations: Show a provable ability to identify and understand what motivates software partners, finding synergies and co-creating value-adding solutions.
