• Support partner onboarding, codesign workshops, reference architectures, and operational readiness reviews. 

• Customer and Field Engagement 

• Support strategic partner-led engagements, proof of concept, and executive briefings, representing Cohesity credibly across technical and business stakeholders. 

• Partner with channel, alliances, and field teams to drive multi-tenant and partner-focused solution plays. 

• Product and Cross-Functional Collaboration 

• Bring partner and service provider requirements back to product and engineering, influencing the multi-tenancy, scale, and automation roadmap.
