Partner Executive

So, what’s the role all about?

A NiCE Partner Executive is responsible for developing, managing, and growing NICE’s Global System Integrator (GSI) partner ecosystem to drive profitable revenue and long-term success in the commercial market. This role is specifically focused on strategic alliance partners rather than traditional channel/reseller relationships. 

The ideal candidate will focus on deepening relationships with GSIs, enabling partner success, and executing joint go-to-market strategies that accelerate growth within existing and new NICE partnerships. 

This role also provides direct support to senior partner leadership, including the Partner Acceleration Executive, by helping operationalize strategic initiatives, manage key alliance programs, and ensure alignment across cross-functional teams. 

The Partner Executive will collaborate closely with internal stakeholders to support corporate strategy and expand NICE’s footprint across the Americas commercial segment. This role will drive partner-led growth by leveraging expertise in alliance management, cloud service provider platforms (hyperscalers), digital transformation, CRM platforms, and NICE’s digital channels and Contact Center as a Service (CCaaS) solutions.
