Introduction

The IBM 'Ecosystem' includes thousands of partners who Build on, Sell, or provide Services for IBM technologies. As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV) Partner Specialist, your mission is to engage prospective partners to develop opportunities for them to embed IBM Software into their commercial products or solutions, a key go-to-market aspect of IBM's Ecosystem referred to as Build with IBM.

With an understanding of your prospective partners' commercial solutions, go-to-market model, architecture, and developer principles, you will create an embedded IBM Software point of view which encourages co-creation. Positioning and closing Embedded Solution Agreements (ESAs) with your partners, you will define business models that meet the needs of your partners, their clients, their market or industry, and IBM.

Excellent onboarding and an industry-leading learning culture will set you up for positive impact and success, whilst ongoing development will advance your career through an upward trajectory. Our sales environment is collaborative and experiential. Part of a team, you'll be surrounded by bright minds and keen co-creators - always willing to help and be helped.

Your role and responsibilities

Naturally skilled in sales, business development, and cultivating professional relationships, you will establish a trusted advisor relationship with your Build partners.

You will gauge their interest by using interactive discussion techniques, use cases, and success stories that relate IBM's software strategy to their business needs and market demands. You will use this as an opportunity to educate them, uncover their relevant objectives or technical barriers to achieving their goals, and identify and qualify additional sales opportunities to embed IBM Software.

We're passionate about success. If this role is right for you, then your achievements will mean that your career is flourishing, your partners are winning, and IBM is thriving. To help ensure this win-win-win outcome, a 'day-in-the-life' of this role may include, but not be limited to…
