Meet Our Team:


Pega is seeking a senior, results-driven Consulting Partner Manager to drive strategic growth through our largest Federal and State Government System Integrator (SI) partnerships. This high-impact role sits at the intersection of executive relationship management, Go-To-Market (GTM) strategy, and brand development — with a mandate to position Pega as the platform of choice embedded within the core offerings of the nation's leading government SIs.


Picture Yourself at Pega:


You will own and deepen executive-level relationships across Tier 1 integrators — firms like Leidos, GDIT, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture Federal Services, EY Government, and others — converting those relationships into pipeline, co-sold revenue, and repeatable joint solutions that serve Federal agencies and State Government clients.


What You'll Do at Pega:


Executive Engagement & C-Level Relationship Development


+ Build and maintain strategic relationships with C-suite leaders (CTO, CDO, EVP of Capture, VP of BD) across major Federal and State SIs

+ Act as Pega’s senior advocate within partner orgs, securing executive sponsorship for joint initiatives and long-term alignment

+ Represent Pega in EBCs, QBRs, and key executive events like PegaWorld and partner summits


Go-To-Market Strategy & Offering Development


+ Execute joint GTM strategies aligned to Federal priorities (modernization, cloud, AI/ML, case management) and State verticals

+ Co-create scalable partner offerings and accelerators that embed Pega into core delivery and capture strategies

+ Enable partners to position Pega Cloud, GenAI Blueprint, and Agentic AI in active deals and RFPs

+ Identify funded opportunities early via pipeline analysis, recompetes, and RFIs to ensure Pega is embedded in bids


Brand Building & Network Expansion


+ Grow Pega’s influence across SI orgs—from BD and capture teams to practice and delivery leaders

+ Drive adoption of co-branded Blueprints, campaigns, and thought leadership to elevate Pega’s presence

+ Lead workshops, innovation sessions, and enablement to deepen technical expertise and advocacy

+ Leverage MDF to activate joint marketing and demand generation


Revenue & Performance Management


+ Own Total Partner Impact (TPI) across sourced, co-sell, and resell motions

+ Partner with AEs, PDSMs, and field teams to convert pipeline into revenue

+ Track key metrics including pipeline, certifications, Blueprint usage, and specializations


Enablement & Partner Development


+ Champion certification currency and skills-based enablement pathways

+ Support delivery readiness with PDSMs on project planning and resource strategies


Who You Are:


+ You are local to the D.C area and can travel to and from partner sites when needed

+ You are an expert relationship builder and can develop strategic partnerships that generate mutually beneficial revenue for your company and your partners. You understand the partner co-sell and resell models and have demonstrated success

+ Prior experience with enterprise workflow, AI/ML, or low-code platforms in a Federal SI or ISV alliance context

+ Familiarity with Pega's product portfolio (Pega Cloud, Customer Decision Hub, Pega GenAI Blueprint, Intelligent Automation)

+ Pega certifications (CSA, CBA, or equivalent) or the willingness to pursue upon hire

+ Experience with FedRAMP-authorized cloud solutions and Federal Cloud compliance requirements

+ Existing relationships within State Government IT leadership or State SI/contractor ecosystems


What You've Accomplished:


+ 12+ years of experience in Federal Government IT, enterprise software sales, alliances, or partner/channel management — with a demonstrated focus on large Systems Integrators

+ Proven C-level access and influence at one or more Tier 1 Federal SIs; an established executive network across firms such as Leidos, GDIT, Booz Allen Hamilton, Accenture Federal Services, or comparable organizations

+ Deep GTM expertise: track record of building and launching joint solution offerings, co-selling programs, and demand generation strategies within the Federal Government market

+ Experience driving brand positioning and mindshare within large SI organizations — from practice leadership to business development and capture teams

+ Exceptional executive communication, storytelling, and executive-level presentation skills

+ Demonstrated ability to navigate matrixed organizations and build cross-functional coalitions internally and externally

+ Bachelor's degree preferred

+ Ability to travel strategically for partner executive meetings, government events, and onsite engagements


Pega Offers You:


+ Gartner Analyst acclaimed technology leadership across our categories of products

+ Continuous learning and development opportunities

+ An innovative, inclusive, agile, flexible, and fun work environment

+ Competitive global benefits program inclusive of pay + bonus incentive, employee equity in the company
