The Role
Since its inception in 1992, SUSE has been at the forefront of technical innovation where change has been the only constant.
We are seeking a Principal Technology Executive — a technical visionary who can paint a compelling business transformation vision for customers and partners alike. This role is the authoritative SUSE technical presence within Tier 1 and Tier 2 Global System Integrator (GSI) partner organizations across India, acting as a trusted advisor at the CTO and architect level.
You will bring deep, multi-cloud proficiency and recognized expertise within a specific cloud domain, leading Blackbelt-level technical efforts both within and beyond your primary area. Working in office with partner Centre’s of Excellence (CoE) and Practice Management Groups (PMG), you will package and champion SUSE solutions, facilitate SUSE’s presence in partner Innovation Labs, and maintain a rhythm of Presales engagement that keeps SUSE top of mind and surfaces net new opportunities.

You translate complex technology into business outcomes, and you operate with the credibility and gravitas to influence technical strategy at the highest levels of partner organizations.
The role sits within the Global Revenue function, reporting to the Global Vice President, Global Systems Integrators.
