A&C meets Technical Prowess

While relationship building and understanding the Partner ecosystem is key, we are looking for individuals that understand Integration.

This role serves as a strategic advisor on our integration product and platform offerings to the company’s largest, most sophisticated partners. This individual will be integral in influencing Partner integration leads within Top GSIs to make MuleSoft their Integrator of choice.

  2. Internal Ecosystem Evangelization: Creation of a community across key internal collaborators such as A&C Teams across other Salesforce products for efficient collaboration, education, and alignment on MuleSoft messaging and GTM.

  3. Refined Asset Creation: Work closely with internal cross-functional partners to improve existing sales enablement, global partner enablement, services and customer success on messaging, methodology and MuleSoft standard processes. When applicable, creation of refined assets including creation of a repository for internal and Partner stakeholder use.

  4. Scaled Tooling & Infrastructure: Using right tools, metrics, reporting and infrastructure to standardize and measure Top GSI reach.

From a Technical Lens, there are three areas the team will liaise across internal teams to lean into:

  1. Assessment & Evangelization: Ability to understand the partner integration solution / use case landscape. Liaise with technical teams to help build a compelling integration story to our partner ecosystem, capturing partner mindshare, and driving integration of Salesforce technology into partner use cases. Collaborating closely with our integration product organization on solution development to ensure alignment between Product/Solution and Partner.

  2. Solution Co-Creation: Capturing perspective from the Technical profiles internally to fuse into understanding MuleSoft’s integration products and solutions for the partner ecosystem, supporting our Global System Integrators (GSIs) on actionable integration activities. Internally working with technical teams to co-create & deliver packaged integration solutions, thought leadership and scalable resources such as demo assets, technical reference architectures, customer stories to drive sales growth.
