Principal Partner Manager, GSIs

Principal Partner Manager, GSIs Synthesia is the world’s leading AI video platform for business, used by over 90% of the Fortune 100. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in London, with offices and teams across Europe and the US. As AI continues to shape the way we live and work, Synthesia develops products to enhance visual communication and enterprise skill development, helping people work better and stay at the center of successful organizations. Following our recent Series E funding round, where we raised $200 million, our valuation stands at $4 billion. Our total funding exceeds $530 million from premier investors including Accel, NVentures (Nvidia's VC arm), Kleiner Perkins, GV, and Evantic Capital, alongside the founders and operators of Stripe, Datadog, Miro, and Webflow. Role Overview Senior individual contributor. We build impact, not empires, and focus on outcomes not activities. As a meritocracy, great work gets rewarded with more responsibility. We will measure your success by partner-sourced and partner-influenced revenue, not by meeting count or calendar density. If your instinct is to optimize for activity, this isn't the role for you. Role Mission Make Synthesia Skills the default content and enablement layer inside the world's largest Sales Transformation engagements. Build and run Synthesia's GSI motion with firms like Deloitte, Accenture, and Capgemini, where Skills is recommended, embedded, and rolled out as part of the transformation programs their consultants deliver. Role Objective Build and grow a repeatable GSI motion that drives partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline at the strategic enterprise tier, focused initially on Sales Transformation practices and expanding into adjacent transformation practices over time. When Synthesia is brought into deals through GSI partners, we win differently: - Built-in compelling events, aligned to the rollout of new methodology - EB access, always with the c-suite - Reduced competition, packaged inside the consulting engagement - Assumed measurement of success, built into the engagement itself This is a high-impact role at the center of Synthesia's Skills go-to-market strategy What you'll do - Land and grow strategic agreements with top-tier GSIs (Deloitte, Accenture, Capgemini, and select peers), with a primary focus on their Sales Transformation practices. - Get Synthesia Skills written into the GSI's standard methodology, point-of-view documents, and transformation playbooks, so consultants recommend Skills as part of every relevant engagement. - Build and own executive relationships with Practice Leads, Alliance MDs, and consulting Partners at named GSIs; quarterback exec-to-exec engagement at Synthesia. - Drive partner-sourced and partner-influenced pipeline that contributes materially to quarterly bookings; you own the number, not the activity. - Build the joint GTM playbook: solution plays, joint propositions, account-mapping motions, co-sell rules of engagement, and a clear path from GSI engagement to Synthesia bookings. - Stand up partner enablement that ships: practice-specific demos, certified consultants, and battlecards that move opportunities through the funnel. - Coach Synthesia field teams on co-selling with GSIs, including economic buyer access, multi-threading, and resolving channel conflict. - Negotiate commercial constructs (referral fees, rev share, MSAs, deal registration) with Legal and Finance. - Run the operating rhythm: forecasts, partner scorecards, QBRs with each GSI, and CRM hygiene on every partner-touched opportunity. Scope to expand Synthesia is in the middle of its largest transition yet: from single product to multiple, from selling seats to selling consumption, from creating videos to delivering agentic, interactive, conversational experiences that transform business communication. Taking Skills and the broader portfolio to market efficiently will require expansion beyond Sales Transfo ... (truncated, view full listing at source)
