The mandate

  • Own the mandate to build and scale a new GCC and global alliances channel, with a clear charter to grow it into a significant contributor to company revenue. Run it as an internal P&L.
  • Sell-to: front the sale personally into mature GCCs of global industrial and automation majors operating in India — from first contact through to a signed engagement.
  • Win the confidence of senior stakeholders inside those GCCs — Chief Strategy Officers, Heads of Engineering and R&D, GCC CEOs — and convert relationships into pilots, then sustained engineering or managed-services partnerships.
  • Sell-through: build alliances with hyperscalers and OEM technology partners, structuring joint go-to-market and co-selling motions.
  • Partner with engineering, delivery and pre-sales to shape offerings and pricing suited to this channel, and define the team needed to scale it.
  • Report to the Chief Business Officer with regular visibility on pipeline, revenue and partnership health.

Who we're looking for

  • 10–15 years in business development, strategic alliances or enterprise sales within IT services, engineering services, IoT or adjacent technology
  • Has personally fronted and closed sales with mature GCCs of industrial or automation majors in India — the differentiating skill for this seat
  • Has built sell-to or alliance-led revenue channels from an early or zero-revenue base
  • An existing network in the India GCC ecosystem, or with hyperscaler and OEM technology partners
  • Exposure to industrial automation, IoT, Smart Buildings, Smart Energy or Smart Factory domains preferred
  • Entrepreneurial 0-to-1 builder, comfortable operating in ambiguity
