New Relic is seeking a Senior Partner Solutions Consultant to be the primary technical arm for their Partner Sales Go-To-Market engine.

What you'd actually do

  1. Design and execute structured enablement plans for assigned partners, delivering workshops, "train-the-trainer" sessions, and technical coaching to close skill gaps and build technical autonomy.
  2. Act as an observability architect and "Swat Team" member for high-value partner-led opportunities, assisting with complex solution design, demonstrations, and Proofs of Value (POVs).
  3. Serve as an "air traffic controller" between internal teams (AEs, SCs, TSMs) and partners to determine the best route to success for every customer opportunity sourced by Partners.
  4. Maintain project-level discipline for all engagements, tracking risks, resource utilization, and status in central systems.
  5. Channel "in the trenches" insights from partners and customers back to internal Product and Practice teams to influence the future roadmap and GTM strategy.
