About the role
- Strategic Partnerships Lead managing technology partnerships for government programs. Building strategic relationships and supporting capture efforts to drive market expansion.
Responsibilities
- Strategic Partnership Development: Identify, evaluate, and establish strategic relationships with engineering tool providers, data platforms, and adjacent technology partners (e.g., CAD/CAE, digital engineering, security, observability, data infrastructure).

Define partnership models spanning teaming agreements, joint solutions, go-to-market alignment, and long-term platform integration. Define metrics for joint-GTM motions and track contribution to revenue growth.
- Federal Teaming & Capture Support: Support Federal capture teams by developing teaming strategies aligned to specific programs, agencies, and mission needs. Shape partner-inclusive value propositions that clearly articulate Istari’s differentiated role within broader solution stacks.
