Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is widely used in enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation, and IoT. Our customers include major cloud providers and industry leaders across sectors. The company operates with a global, distributed team (1200+ colleagues in 75+ countries) and very few office-based roles;
teams meet in person two to four times per year to align on strategy and execution. The company is founder-led, profitable and growing.
Role
We have created a new senior leadership role, Head of Global System Integrator (GSI) Alliances, to lead our business development and partnership with these important actors in the global technology sector. As the publisher of Ubuntu and a leading provider of open source to major technology firms worldwide, we are expanding into the enterprise market where GSIs provide significant operational and tactical capacity. We have had success with GSIs delivering next-generation private cloud, container, and public cloud solutions built with Canonical Ubuntu, and we are looking to expand our investment in these alliances. Reporting to the VP Global Alliances and Channels, the Global Head of GSI Alliances will lead a team of representatives and develop a strategic go-to-market strength for Canonical. You will work closely with GSI partners throughout their sales cycles and across their sales organizations to make Canonical their trusted partner to deliver opensource solutions at scale for their enterprise customers. In this role you will be responsible for ensuring that our solutions are used or embedded at the core of GSI digital transformation platforms. Our GSI team builds trusted relationships with partners at executive level, increases Canonical market share and attach rate, evangelizes the partnership and leads all business interactions from engineers to CxO level. The Global Head of GSI Alliances will own the strategy, sell-to, sell-through and sell-with motions with all GSI partners, as well as promotion of our GSI related activities—from campaigns, to strategic opportunities and GSI related events (including Canonical's yearly GSI executive summit).
