- Embedded Offering: Structuring complex commercial models to ideate and create embedded/bundled offerings with key partners.
- Co-Sell & Referral: Building the frameworks that turn partner sales forces into an extension of our own.
- 3. Drive Technical & Commercial Alignment You will sit at the center of Product, Engineering, and Sales to ensure our integrations aren't just "technical wins" but market-ready products. You’ll oversee integration roadmaps that align our platform extensibility with the strategic goals of our highest-value partners.
What You Bring: The Deal-Maker’s Toolkit
- 10+ Years of High-Stakes Experience: A proven track record in enterprise technology alliances, ISV ecosystems, or strategic business development with direct, measurable revenue impact.
- The OEM Edge: Direct experience launching or managing OEM, embedded, or white-label partnerships. You understand the unique legal, financial, and technical hurdles of these high-value deals.
- Strategic Category Expertise: You understand the landscape of Identity, ERP (SAP/Workday), and the emerging world of Agentic AI and LLMs.Commercial Architecture: You don't just sign MOUs; you build co-sell frameworks, referral programs, and joint GTM engines that move the needle on the P&L.
- Executive Presence: You can navigate a boardroom at a Fortune 500 partner just as easily as you can white-board an integration roadmap with a Product VP.

Market Dominance: We are positioning Identity as the core of the AI era. You will be the primary architect of the partnerships that make this a reality.

But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.
Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech
- Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
- Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google

- Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
