Job Description

The Role: Strategy is seeking an experienced, execution-focused Public Sector Partner Manager to help build a high-performing partner ecosystem across the public sector, with a primary emphasis on the U.S. Federal Government.

This is not an administrative alliance-management role. It is a field-facing, revenue-producing position responsible for identifying the partners that matter, building joint business plans, aligning partner and Strategy sales teams, and creating measurable pipeline.

The successful candidate will understand the complexities of the federal technology market, including agency buying processes, procurement pathways, contract vehicles, cloud marketplaces, and the role that systems integrators and resellers play in shaping agency modernization programs.

Working closely with Strategy’s Public Sector sales organization, partner leadership, marketing, solution engineering, and customer success teams, this individual will help insert Strategy Mosaic and Mosaic AI into active agency programs, modernization initiatives, cloud migrations, and enterprise AI opportunities.

The role's mandate will be to build and execute a high-impact public sector partner strategy that generates net-new pipeline, accelerates strategic opportunities, and expands Strategy’s reach across the U.S. Federal Government.

The Public Sector Partner Manager will develop productive relationships with cloud providers, systems integrators, resellers, advisory firms, and technology partners that influence how federal agencies evaluate, procure, implement, and expand enterprise analytics and AI platforms.

Success will be measured by partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline, revenue, executive relationships, joint account activity, and the ability to turn strategic partnerships into repeatable field execution.

Strategy headquarters in Tysons Corner, Virginia, at least four days per week (Mon-Thurs).

Travel of approximately 25% within North America, with an emphasis on Washington, D.C., and other key public sector markets.
