Senior Director, Global Partnerships

About Us:

Datacor is the leading provider of software solutions, including ERP, CRM, Asset Tracking, Simulation and Formulation, to the process manufacturing space. We are on a mission to better equip the industry with software solutions and move it forward by building thoughtful, intuitive products that solve our customers’ most difficult problems.

We are passionate about serving our customers and helping them use data as a competitive advantage. Our customers make products that extend and sustain lives by sanitizing, fertilizing, beautifying, cleaning, and recycling the world we live in. We at Datacor help our customers make those products you use every day more safely, cost effectively and more efficiently through our technology platforms and applications.

The Role:

Datacor is scaling a multi-motion partner ecosystem across its DANG, ESG, and TrackAbout (TA) business units spanning resale, referral, technical/co-sell, services/implementation, and strategic OEM-style relationships. Partnerships today are fragmented across business units and managed tactically by regional partner managers who report through Sales. There is no unifying strategy, segmentation model, or formal program.

We're hiring a Senior Director of Global Partnerships to build the strategy, structure, and operating discipline this function needs — and to personally drive new partner acquisition while working through and alongside existing regional partner managers rather than displacing them. This is a build role: part strategist, part recruiter, part program architect, part operator. Success means partner-sourced revenue growing at or above Datacor's overall double-digit corporate growth rate.

This role reports directly to the CRO and does not have direct reports on day one. It will operate through strong dotted-line influence with regional partner managers (who continue to report through VP Sales) and close collaboration with business unit and sales leadership. As the partner motion matures and scales, this role could be expected to build out a dedicated team.

Key Responsibilities:

Partner Strategy & Segmentation

Design and own Datacor's overall global partner strategy across all partner types and business units (ERP, Prroduction Systems, ESG,).

Build a formal, tiered partner program (e.g., Platinum / Gold / Silver) with clear criteria for tier placement, differentiated benefits, margin/discount structures, and obligations at each level.

Define how the program flexes across fundamentally different partner motions — reseller, referral, technical/co-sell, services/implementation, and strategic OEM-style relationships — rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Establish clear rules of engagement, account ownership, and conflict-resolution guidelines between partners and direct sales.

Partner Recruitment & Acquisition (New Logo Growth)

Personally identify, recruit, and close new partners across five distinct motions:

Reseller partners - expanding the network of resellers across various Product Groups of Datacor (primarily Animal Nutrition Group (DANG), Engineering Simulation Group (ESG), and Asset Tracking (TA).

Referral partners - growing the broader ecosystem of partners who send Datacor qualified opportunities.

Technical/co-sell partners - partners with joint-sell motions and product integrations that expand solution value.

Services/implementation partners - recruiting global systems integrator(s) and consultancies (from Big 4 firms to smaller boutique consultancies) to extend implementation and consulting reach for Datacor's more global, enterprise-scale businesses.

Strategic/OEM-style partners - relationships where a major industrial technology provider embeds or positions a Datacor solution within their own customer relationships. Identify and pursue additional strategic partners of this type across other business units.

Manage and grow point-solution listings with broader ecosystem resellers where the Datacor solution suite is included in other vendors offerings, including recruiting additional catalog/marketplace-style resell relationships beyond the current footprint.

Partner Program Build-Out

Build the formal infrastructure a mature partner org needs: partner agreements/contract frameworks, onboarding, enablement curriculum, certification paths, deal registration, and incentive/commission structures by tier and partner type.

Design enablement programs (sales, technical, and marketing) so partners can sell and implement Datacor solutions effectively and independently.
