SHI is launching a new, regionally embedded channel role to bridge the gap between national partner strategy and regional execution. The Field Alliances Manager will serve as the primary in-market advocate for SHI with core OEM partners, and as the voice of the region back to SHI’s leadership. This role goes beyond traditional partner management and marketing, focusing on real-time advocacy, partnership health, and actionable regional insights.

Advance Deal Flow & Partner Advocacy: Support the local sales pipeline, ensure partner advocacy, and drive measurable business impact.
Represent SHI at Partner Events: Maintain a consistent, intentional local presence at key OEM and partner events to influence outcomes and build SHI’s regional brand.
Deliver Regional Insights: Map local relationships, identify gaps, and provide transparent feedback to inform where SHI should invest or intervene.
Communicate SHI’s Regional Value: Articulate the full scope of SHI’s business in the region, including commercial, enterprise, and global sellers - not just individual books of business.
