Director, Technology Alliances

About this role

Identity has become a critical to an organizations security posture. This is true across their entire digital landscape include cloud, traditional on prem and emerging technologies like agentic ai. Britive is at the forefront of a modern approach to delivering identity security with the only modern privileged access management platform that provides unified Privileged Access Visibility, Dynamic Privilege Management and Secrets Governance across infrastructure, platforms & SaaS.

Our patent-pending technology is deployed at companies of all sizes around the world, including Fortune 500 companies. We have repeatedly ranked among the hottest Cloud Security startups. Britive is founded by CyberSecurity industry veterans with a successful prior exit and is backed by top-tier VCs.

About Britive

Britive is the cloud-native Privileged Access Management (PAM) platform built to secure human, machine, and agentic identities across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. Founded on a Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) model, Britive replaces static, standing entitlements with just-in-time, ephemeral access — closing off the identity attack surface that traditional PAM and IAM tools leave exposed. Recognized as an architect of Third-Gen PAM, Britive is API-first and built to serve as the identity security control plane for modern, cloud-first enterprises.

Role Summary

Britive is hiring a Director, Technology Alliances to build and lead our technology partner ecosystem across the identity and security landscape. This is a revenue-focused role: the mandate is to identify, prioritize, and build partnerships with technology vendors (IAM, IGA, SIEM/SOAR, cloud security, DevOps/CI-CD, ITSM, and adjacent categories) whose customer bases, integrations, and go-to-market motions can generate measurable pipeline and revenue for Britive — not partnerships that are simply interesting from a technology standpoint.

The ideal candidate brings deep, credible knowledge of the identity and security technology landscape and an established network of relationships with alliance, product, and BD leaders at relevant vendors. They will independently evaluate partnership opportunities against commercial criteria, build the business case and integration requirements for the partnerships worth pursuing, and work cross-functionally with product, engineering, marketing, and sales to bring those partnerships to market.

Key Responsibilities

Partnership Strategy & Prioritization

• Maintain a prioritized view of the identity and security technology landscape (IAM/IGA, PAM, SIEM/SOAR, CSPM/CNAPP, ITSM, DevOps/CI-CD, cloud service providers) and identify which vendors represent the highest-value alliance opportunities for Britive.

• Score and rank prospective partners against clear commercial criteria — overlapping customer base, co-sell motion, deal size influence, and pipeline/revenue potential — rather than technical novelty alone.

• Say no to partnerships that lack a credible path to revenue, even when they are technically compelling, and be able to articulate why.

Deal Development & Business Casing

• For each prioritized partner, define and document the value proposition: what joint problem is solved, why customers would buy the combined solution, and how the partnership differentiates Britive competitively.

• Author the business requirements for how the two platforms should integrate — use cases, API/data touchpoints, deployment model, and shared customer workflows — in partnership with product and engineering.

• Define the monetization model for each partnership (co-sell, referral, OEM/embed, marketplace, technology royalty, etc.) and the commercial terms needed to make it work for both parties.

• Negotiate and close partnership agreements, working with legal and finance as needed.

Go-To-Market Execution

• Translate signed partnerships into active go-to-market programs: joint solution briefs, co-sell playbooks, enablement for sales and SEs, and marketing campaigns.

• Partner with sales leadership to build pipeline generation motions with alliance partners and track sourced/influenced revenue.

• Represent Britive at partner and industry events, and build/maintain executive relationships with key alliance contacts.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Act as the primary interface between Britive and partner alliance, product, and BD teams.

• Brief product and engineering leadership on partner-driven integration requirements and advocate for roadmap investment where it unlocks revenue.

• Report regularly to sales and executive leadership on alliance pipeline, partnership health, and revenue impact.

What Success Looks Like

• A short list of active, well-documented technology partnerships — each with a clear value proposition, integration requirements, and monetization model — rather than a long list of loosely-defined technical integrations.

• Measurable partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline and revenue within the first 6–12 months.

• Strong working relationships with key alliance and BD leaders across the identity and security ecosystem.

What You’ll Need

Required Qualifications

• 7+ years in technology alliances, business development, or partnerships, with at least 3 years focused on identity, security, or adjacent enterprise infrastructure categories.

• Deep working knowledge of the identity and security technology landscape — IAM, PAM, IGA, SIEM/SOAR, CNAPP/CSPM, and how these categories intersect with cloud infrastructure and DevOps.

• An existing, active network of contacts among alliance, product, and BD leaders at relevant technology vendors.

• Demonstrated ability to evaluate partnerships commercially — building business cases, prioritizing against revenue potential, and saying no to low-value opportunities.

• Experience defining integration requirements and working directly with product/engineering teams to scope joint solutions.

• Experience in a solution design / architecture role listening
