International Strategic Partnerships Lead Job at Arize

Job Description

The International Strategic Partnerships Lead will own Arize’s partner strategy and execution across EMEA and APAC — two of our highest-priority growth regions. This is a quota-carrying, GTM-driven role: you will own a regional pipeline target and be directly accountable for building a partner ecosystem that sources and influences enterprise revenue across both regions. You will build and scale relationships with regional systems integrators, global consultancies, cloud partners, and AI ecosystem players, creating durable partnerships that generate long-term revenue and market presence. This is a senior, high-autonomy role for someone who thrives on building from the ground up, navigating cultural and market nuances, and translating global partner strategy into regional execution. While we are a remote-first company, we are prioritizing candidates based in the UK due to the nature of this role.
