You will sit at the ultimate intersection of enterprise data and Generative AI, positioning Neo4j not as a niche developer tool, but as the critical "knowledge layer" that connects enterprise data to Large Language Models (LLMs) via GraphRAG. Your mission is to co-sell and drive net-new enterprise revenue by embedding Neo4j into the multi-billion dollar AI and Advanced Analytics practices of these GSIs. This role begins as an elite Individual Contributor (IC) with the explicit corporate trajectory to scale the function and transition into a Director-level leadership role as you prove the regional revenue model.

Experience presenting to and managing relationships with C-level executives and technical practice heads across GSI competency centers. Ability to communicate in English fluently as this role requires extensive collaboration with global leadership and regional APAC stakeholders. Preferred qualifications: Deep domain knowledge of the broader data landscape, cloud ecosystem (AWS, Azure, GCP), NoSQL/relational databases, and emerging Enterprise AI architectures. Experience with commercial open-source software (COSS) business models, including subscription-based on-premise, hybrid, and cloud-native database solutions. Demonstrated success influencing, closing, and expanding large, complex enterprise deals ($1M+) through GSI-led digital transformation programs.

Responsibilities Develop, build, and execute a comprehensive GSI territory and account plan for APAC, establishing formalised, repeatable co-sell frameworks and joint offerings from the ground up to exceed revenue metrics. Anchor high-level relationships within GSI Centers of Excellence (CoEs) and AI practices to position Neo4j as a foundational element of their digital transformation blueprints and client-facing offerings. Own and drive GSI-sourced and partner-influenced revenue targets, managing end-to-end deal structure, conversion, and accurate forecasting within Salesforce.com.
