DO YOU EVER HAVE THE URGE TO DO THINGS BETTER THAN THE LAST TIME? We do. And it’s this urge that drives us every single day. At Quantexa, we empower organizations to make trusted operational decisions by bringing data to life. Our Decision Intelligence platform connects billions of data points to reveal hidden context, fight financial crime, optimize underwriting and claims, and drive transformational growth for Tier-1 global institutions.

We’re heading in one direction: the future. We’d love you to join us. THE OPPORTUNITY Strategic alliances are the lifeblood of Quantexa’s scale and North American growth strategy. We operate a partner-first ecosystem model where our technology is embedded into the world’s most transformative advisory, system integration, data and cloud architectures.

You will work closely with the North America insurance Sales Leaders, sector leads and our global partner network to turn strategic relationships into measurable, multi-million-dollar co-sell and partner-led revenue engines across insurance.

Establish regular Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs) and joint pipeline rhythms. - Accelerate cloud marketplace and hyperscaler motions: Maximize co-sell alignment with Microsoft Azure and AWS, using marketplace procurement vehicles (MACC/EDP drawdown) to compress sales cycles and unlock strategic enterprise budget. - Power field enablement and co-selling: Act as a player-coach and trusted advisor to Quantexa’s Enterprise Sales Directors and Solution Engineers.
