About the role

We’re looking for a VP, GSI Partnerships who closes. This is a player-coach alliance role at a Series F company with a proven GSI playbook, named accounts, and active strategic partnerships already generating significant revenue. Your mandate: scale that motion to the next tier of GSIs while personally closing multi-million dollar joint deals. This is not a greenfield build. The playbook works and the deals exist. We need a hunter-builder who can step into a high-velocity motion, run it at the deal level, and scale the structure underneath it as the program grows. You’ll own a personal closed-won number alongside a team quota exceeding $5M, leading a small team (2+) as a true player-coach. This is a top-priority function for Uniphore’s growth, with direct visibility to and active engagement from our CEO.

Responsibilities

• Personally close joint pursuits with Tier 1 GSIs (Accenture, Deloitte, Infosys, TCS, Wipro, Capgemini, EY, KPMG, Cognizant) — deal strategy through signature
• Expand existing GSI partnerships and activate the next tier, driving sourced and influenced pipeline
• Build CXO-level GSI relationships that convert to pipeline within two quarters
• Develop joint business plans and solution accelerators that are deal-anchored, not slideware — extending active vertical motions in FSI, insurance, healthcare, and life sciences
• Scale the playbook to support an expanding partner portfolio — extending what works, building what’s missing
• Align tightly with Uniphore field sales as a force multiplier on the regional number
• Lead and mentor a team of 2+ as a player-coach against a $5M+ team quota
• Own forecasting discipline — QBRs, pipeline reviews, partner scorecards, accurate CRM hygiene

Requirements

• 10+ years in strategic alliances, partner sales, or GSI relationship management within enterprise software, SaaS, or AI/data platforms
• 5+ years selling to or through Tier 1 GSIs (Accenture, Deloitte, McKinsey, TCS, Infosys, Capgemini, EY, KPMG, IBM Consulting, Wipro, HCL, Cognizant, LTIMindtree)
• Proven AI and/or data platform sales background — this is a hard filter
• Personal closing track record on GSI-sourced deals at $1M+ ACV — as the deal owner, with named deals you can speak to
• Experience scaling a GSI program at a growth-stage company (Series C–F or equivalent) — taking a working motion to the next level of partners, revenue, and team
• Hunter temperament with builder capability — closers from mature inherited programs and program builders without a closing record are not a fit
• Dual-mode credibility — equally effective in a GSI alliance boardroom and alongside the GSI on Fortune 500 CXO pursuits
• Bachelor’s degree required; MBA or advanced degree preferred
