Responsibilities

• Design, deliver, and govern technical enablement and certification programs for assigned Avaya channel partners (typically 3 to 8 partners)
• Operate in shared accountability with assigned CAMs, participating in partner business reviews (QBRs) and identifying enablement gaps that create pipeline risk
• Track partner certification progress against defined Infinity readiness tiers and report metrics to CAM and SC leadership
• Serve as the authoritative technical resource for partner-generated pre-sales questions across the Avaya platform portfolio, maintaining strict SLAs for technical inquiries
• Create, curate, and distribute partner-facing technical artifacts (solution briefs, architecture diagrams, competitive guides), adapting Named Account assets for partner consumption
• Provide architectural design guidance to partner technical staff on cloud infrastructure, standard enterprise integration patterns (e.g., CRM, WFM routing), and premise-to-cloud hybrid deployment best practices
• Own the configuration, governance, and version currency of partner-accessible sandbox and demo environments, directly managing tenant provisioning and release-cycle maintenance in coordination with Cloud Operations
• Act as the authoritative technical filter between the partner ecosystem and the internal SSC overlay, actively triaging inquiries, troubleshooting lab access protocols, and ensuring all escalated deals are comprehensively scoped
• Apply MEDDPICC criteria to partner-sourced pipeline to ensure the internal SSC overlay receives only qualified, well-scoped engagements. Maintain strict pipeline discipline and provide feedback on declined opportunities
• Support strategically significant partner-led client presentations as a technical backstop, ensuring Avaya's position is accurately represented
• Coach partner sales engineers on value proposition framing, discovery methodologies, and Avaya Infinity differentiation
• Operate exclusively in the pre-sales and strategic technical domain. This role is structurally separated from post-sales ticket resolution, implementation delivery, and break-fix support
