PART-TIME
Global Partnership Manager
The mission of the ST partner program is to amplify our reach and impact in changing how the world works on strategy. Making our partners successful, with new tools, concepts, simulations and solutions is vitally important to us. Supporting our partners’ business development and time-to-contract are core features of the program.
The role is part-time, 20% – 30% to begin with. Can grow into a full-time role over time.
Building & scaling the global partner network
The development of a world-class partner network is a key element in the company’s strategy roadmap. Partners are both a natural extension of Strategy Tools and a key go-to-market channel.
Most partners are highly accomplished consultants or consulting companies, many with an active portfolio of C-level projects and strategy engagements. Many partners are also faculty at leading business schools around the world.
The Partner Program can be split into three levels: Learn, Collaborate, Integrate.
Learn: partners focus on their learning of new tools, concepts, and simulations.
The focus is on upskilling partners to help them with service development, BD, and delivery.
Collaborate: partners develop joint go-to-market plans with Strategy Tools. Partners can use all and any ST content, case studies, marketing material, etc. to present joint collaboration projects to clients. The rule of thumb is 50-50 split on collaboration projects.
Integrate: partners become an integrated part of the ST team. They start operating under the ST brand, ST e-mail address and, for all practical purposes, become a key part of the ST team.
