Strategic Partnerships Manager / Team Lead

About Pryon: 

We’re a team of AI, technology, and language experts whose DNA lives in Alexa, Siri, Watson, and virtually every human language technology product on the market. Now we’re building an industry-leading knowledge management and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) platform. Our proprietary, cutting-edge natural language processing capabilities transform unstructured data into meaningful experiences that increase productivity with unmatched accuracy and speed.



The Opportunity:


We are seeking an exceptional Strategic Partnerships Manager to lead our high-performing partner team and own some of our most important accounts — including NVIDIA and other hyperscaler and global alliance partners.


This player-coach role is ideal for a commercial and technically sophisticated operator who can guide senior partner managers while also directly managing high-value, complex partnerships. You will be responsible for driving strategy, operational execution, and revenue outcomes across key partner ecosystems — including cloud providers, global consultancies, systems integrators, and AI infrastructure companies.


You’ll be expected to provide executive-level stewardship, sales coaching, and technical insight — while rolling up your sleeves to manage partner relationships yourself, especially in high-impact accounts like NVIDIA.


In This Role, You Will Be Responsible For:
  • Leadership & Team Management
  • Directly manage a team of 3–5 Strategic Partner Managers
  • Coach ICs on deal strategy, execution, and technical positioning
  • Set performance goals, measure outcomes, and drive accountability
  • Foster collaboration across Product, Sales, Solutions, and Marketing

  • Executive-Level Partner Management
  • Own strategic relationships with high-stakes partners, including NVIDIA
  • Lead executive alignment, joint planning, and multi-threaded partner engagement
  • Navigate technical and commercial complexity across large enterprises
  • Drive Pryon’s presence in hyperscaler and AI-native partner ecosystems

  • Strategic Planning & Execution
  • Define partner strategy aligned to company priorities (e.g., GCP, McKinsey, Leidos)
  • Operationalize go-to-market initiatives and co-sell motions with partners
  • Build and track joint business plans, pipeline goals, and revenue impact
  • Collaborate with leadership to prioritize and allocate team capacity

  • Technical Acumen & Enablement
  • Act as executive sponsor for proof-of-value projects with strategic partners
  • Support solutioning, technical validation, and RFP processes as needed
  • Ensure team is fluent in Pryon’s RAG and NLP capabilities
  • Elevate partner enablement programs and technical collateral


What You'll Need to Be Successful:
  • Experience & Track Record
  • 10+ years in enterprise partnerships, strategic alliances, or B2B sales leadership
  • Experience leading and scaling a team of senior ICs or partner managers
  • Proven ability to close $1M+ deals and manage long-cycle complex partnerships
  • Background in AI, cloud infrastructure, enterprise SaaS, or NLP platforms
  • Experience working with or within companies like NVIDIA, AWS, GCP, or Microsoft preferred

  • Technical Competence
  • Strong understanding of AI/ML, GenAI, RAG, and knowledge management systems
  • Able to guide solution design and discuss integrations with engineering counterparts
  • Familiarity with cloud-native architectures and partner ecosystems

  • Leadership & Communication
  • Inspiring team leader with a bias for action, clarity, and accountability
  • Adept at influencing across functions and levels, including CxO audiences
  • Exceptional communicator, both externally and internally


$200,000 - $275,000 a year
