About the Role
This role is critical in making NI a preferred choice inside System Integrator (SI) reference architectures, packaged offerings, and proposal language to create scalable, partner-driven adoption. Own the sell-to-partner motion for system integrators by winning design-ins and driving technical preference. You will persuade SI practice leaders, solution architects, and pre-sales teams to standardize on NI, build offerings/standard architectures around it, and consistently specify NI in customer solutions.
Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end partner opportunity lifecycle by owning SI relationships and collaborating tightly with NI Sales teams.
- Focus on uncovering and advancing high-impact opportunities that expand partner revenue, increase partner influence in deals, and deliver predictable quota achievement.
- Get NI included in SI reference architectures, standards, and proposal/SOW boilerplate.
- Lead technical positioning, competitive differentiation, and architecture discussions with SI technical stakeholders.
- Collaborate with BU to create packaged SI offerings (assessment, implementation, migration, managed service, industry solutions).
- Define the partner value proposition (services attach, accelerators, delivery margin) and drive internal adoption.
- Develop and deliver enablement: trainings, workshops, demos, labs, certifications, battlecards, and solution guides.
- Create “ready-to-use” assets that show up in the SI’s selling motion (slides, reference designs, templates) to highlight NI’s value prop when SI sells to customer.
- Identify and cultivate SI champions (technical, sales, program, project) with influence in partner organization.
- Accelerate partner-led pursuits through architecture reviews, proposal support, and price to win negotiations.
- Run partner plans and QBRs with clear milestones to drive partner-influenced pipeline and revenue.
- Track and report partner influence, adoption, and design-in progress with strong CRM hygiene.

- 5 years experience specifying the systems using NI/Emerson technology.
- 5 years experience specifying Test/DAQ/Control systems using NI technology.
