About the Role

We're looking for a Director, Alliances – Technical Evangelist to be a key technical voice of Informatica within our Strategic Ecosystem partnerships.  You'll sit at the intersection of product, engineering, and partner go-to-market — deeply fluent in the Informatica portfolio and equally fluent in our partners' platforms and services.

Customer & Field Engagement • Partner with account teams and partner sellers on strategic opportunities, diagnosing product and services gaps and articulating the right combined solution. • Translate complex technical integrations into clear, business-friendly language for executive audiences — CIOs, VPs of Data, and other senior stakeholders. • Bring executive presence to high-stakes conversations, building confidence with both partner leadership and customer decision-makers.
