Reporting to: UKI Alliance Leader
Grade/Level: Director
Overview of the Role
The Alliance Sales Executive plays a critical role in driving revenue growth by identifying, shaping, and closing joint sales opportunities (primarily 'Sell with' motions) between EY, our alliance partners, and our clients.
Acting as the commercial catalyst between clients, alliance partners, and EY's account teams and Service Lines, you'll be relentless in originating and driving the pursuit of new business, leading complex sales cycles from initiation to signed contract.
You'll be a market-facing, experienced seller and subject matter expert focused on the overall Alliance sales strategy generally and NVIDIA solutions specifically. We expect the individuals to be motivated by fast moving technologies, driving innovation and collaboration across complex stakeholder groups.
You will build deep relationships with the alliance partner field sales teams, advocate and evangelize for EY and be the face of NVIDIA within EY to our sector and account teams and help expand the EY NVIDIA Alliance in the super region.
Expectations of the Role
1. Opportunity Origination: Proactively identify and qualify opportunities for collaborative sales pursuits with clients, alliance partners and internal EY teams.
2. Product Knowledge: Have and maintain a deep and comprehensive technical, functional and commercial understanding of your alliance partner's product(s), offerings and services.
3. Solutioning: Support client and pursuit teams to understand the technical options which best address client issues, and which can enhance EY solutions and pursuits.
4. Deal Structuring: Bring knowledge of partner and technology pricing models and benchmarks to deals, and collaborate with pricing and commercial teams to develop value-based selling approaches and innovative deal structures that align with client expectations and EY's strategic goals.
5. Collaboration: Work in close alignment with clients, client account teams, service lines, solution leaders, and your alliance partner to identify opportunities, shape and position compelling joint offerings. This will include collaborations with multiple alliance partners and across EY service lines.
6. Relationship Development: Build and maintain trusted, credible, and intimate relationships with clients, EY teams and alliance partners.
7. Driving the sales cycle: Take ownership of the end-to-end sales cycle — from lead identification to proposal, negotiation, and contracting.

9. Build joint pursuit strategies that align the capabilities of the firm and our alliance partners to client needs.
