Your role
As an AVP, AI Ecosystem & Marketplace you’ll own formalizing our ISV and Strategic Technology Alliance motion. With Marketplace v2 nearing launch and a growing base of pre-existing ISV influence across the customer base, we are hiring an AVP to own the commercial strategy, partner ecosystem, and revenue motion for ISVs across Dialpad’s Contact Center, UC, Collaboration, and Agentic AI portfolio. This is a highly visible, founding-style senior role. You will be the single accountable leader for designing and scaling three distinct revenue motions — (1) OEM / Embed, (2) Marketplace Resell, and (3) Referral / ISV-Influenced — and for establishing Dialpad’s position in the Google Cloud Marketplace and wider technology alliance ecosystem.
This position reports to our SVP, Channel Sales, and has the opportunity to be based remotely. This role requires travel.
What you’ll do
- OEM / Embed: Define the commercial model, pricing, and deal-desk process to embed Dialpad into third-party products.
- Marketplace Resell: Build take-rate, listing, and co-sell motions across Google Cloud Marketplace and Dialpad’s marketplace with Product.
- Referral / Influenced: Turn ISV-influenced pipeline into a measurable, repeatable motion with clear attribution, incentives, and SLAs.
- Partner Strategy: Define and prioritize the ISV target map across CCaaS, UCaaS, collaboration, and agentic AI adjacencies.
- Partner Lifecycle: Recruit, onboard, and activate strategic ISVs—from category leaders to high-growth AI-native players.
- Alliances: Own executive relationships with hyperscalers (e.g., Google Cloud), aligning GTM with co-sell programs.
- Product Alignment: Translate commercial needs into roadmap priorities with the CPO and marketplace product teams.
- Financial Model: Partner with Finance on take-rate, rev-share, and OEM margin structures that withstand Board scrutiny.
- GTM Alignment: Co-design attribution, comp, and deal registration with RevOps and CRO org to align channel and direct sales.
- Governance: Partner with Legal on agreements, data terms, and commercial guardrails.
- Revenue Delivery: Hit multi-million ARR targets for net-new ISV revenue using a staged investment model.
- Channel Impact: Grow ISV-influenced bookings into a durable share of channel revenue.
- Operating Cadence: Establish QBRs, pipeline reviews, and exec sponsor rhythms to ensure accountability.
- Team Build: Develop the business case and hiring plan for ISV Partner, Alliance, and Program Ops teams as the motion scales.
Skills you’ll bring
- 10+ years in enterprise SaaS with at least 5 years focused on ISV, OEM, cloud marketplace, or strategic technology alliances.
- Proven experience building or scaling a commercial motion on Google Cloud Marketplace, AWS Marketplace, or Azure Marketplace — including listing, co-sell, and take-rate economics.
- Track record designing and closing OEM, embed, or rev-share agreements with measurable ARR contribution.
- Demonstrated success partnering with Product and Engineering leadership to shape platform and marketplace roadmap.
- Experience in Contact Center, Unified Communications, Collaboration, or Agentic AI / conversational AI categories strongly preferred.
- Background in a Gartner Magic Quadrant or Canalys-tracked vendor environment, with fluency in analyst-driven category narratives.
