Summary of Role

The SAP Alliance Lead is responsible for managing and developing the strategic partnership between KPMG and SAP, focusing on driving business growth by leveraging SAP solutions to deliver client services across various industries, including identifying new sales opportunities, leading joint go-to-market initiatives, and ensuring seamless integration between KPMG's expertise and SAP's technology offerings. 

We require an outstanding Alliance professional, with extensive client facing experience, knowledge of the people and propositions associated with SAP and the sales leadership skills to drive the growth that the SAP business presents to KPMG.

The “new” SAP Alliance offers a unique and considerable market opportunity for KPMG – where numerous companies will need to upgrade from legacy on-premise SAP (or indeed, other enterprise systems) to cloud-based solutions – for SAP, this is S4HANA.

Description of Role 

As an Alliance Lead you will be responsible for:

• Developing, nurturing and maintaining key and significant relationships with the Alliance Partner and acting as key contact / "face of" KPMG
• Regularly interfacing between the Alliance Team (or equivalent) at our Alliance Partners, chairing weekly update meetings and taking decisive action accordingly
• Enhancing our brand with our Alliance Partners - i.e. ensuring that KPMG is always front and centre of their partner ecosystem.  If our Alliance Partner is implementing their technology, they should wish to do so with KPMG as their implementation / consulting partner
• Drafting, agreeing, and most importantly, executing a go-to-market plan with our Alliance Partner. This plan should:
• Determine, foster and encourage key relationships - i.e. who from KPMG aligns with the key stakeholders at our Alliance Partner
• Agree how we generate demand in the market together and then, activate as appropriate
• Identify which opportunities / targets we will work on together and then, drive dogmatic activation plans in conjunction with appropriate Advisory colleagues and Alliance Partner Account Executives
• Prioritise our approach together - what are we focusing on; when; who is involved; what are the stage gate measurements of success
• Importantly, the plan needs to underpin how we work together and how we win together
• Ongoing and regular governance of both the plan, and also our successful relationship with the Alliance Partner
• Ongoing and regular updates to senior stakeholders from both KPMG and our Alliance Partner to meet KPIs, as well as monitor progress
• Make introductions as necessary - i.e. respective Sector Leads from both sides; or Industry Leads; or key Client / Account Leads AND monitor and track progress
• Arrange and lead networking opportunities with our Alliance Partners - these might be in the form of targeted lunches, dinners, round table discussions, or Ignition-led seminars.  Follow up on all leads generated via the Alliance Sales Team
• Attend and help to arrange the successful participation on Alliance-led Events - these may be Alliance Partner initiated and may also include overseas travel.  Again, follow up on all leads generated accordingly
• Proactively engage with client and targets, where appropriate, along with the Alliance Sales Team to help promote excellent KPMG relationships and our commitment to working with our Alliance Partners
• Support and lead all contractual arrangements between KPMG and our Alliance Partners to ensure that we maintain excellent Quality and Risk Management (QRM).  This will include agreeing Alliance contracts with our QRM team; continuance contracts on a periodic basis, and any reselling / influencing contracts, as appropriate.
