As Strategic Partnerships Manager: Analyst and Agency Partners, you own Intuit's commercial relationships with two distinct partner segments that sit at the edges of the mid-market ERP ecosystem: independent ERP analysts, and digital marketing agencies whose client base includes mid-market businesses evaluating ERP solutions.
ERP analysts in the mid-market are not the large research firms — they are independent voices: channel consultants, software selection advisors, and influential commentators who cover mid-market ERP platforms, shape buyer decisions, and maintain active networks of prospects and VARs. They generate a steady flow of referral introductions to buyers who trust their judgment. Building relationships with the right analysts and turning those relationships into a consistent pipeline of qualified warm introductions is the core of this motion.
Digital marketing agencies represent a different but equally valuable opportunity. Many agencies serve mid-market clients who need ERP solutions as part of broader digital transformation work — and those agencies need somewhere to route those leads. This role builds the program and relationships that make Intuit the natural destination for those introductions.
Both motions share the same KPI: qualified warm introductions attributable to a specific analyst or agency partner. You are not accountable for closed-won revenue — you are accountable for the quality and volume of the pipeline you generate through these relationships.
PRIMARY KPI: Qualified warm introductions attributable to a specific analyst or agency partner — defined as a mid-market prospect introduction where an IES, QuickBooks Advanced, or Intuit Services opportunity has been identified. Measured separately for analyst and agency segments.
Responsibilities
ERP analyst relationships:
- Identify and map the independent ERP analyst community relevant to Intuit's mid-market segment: channel consultants, software selection advisors, VAR-channel commentators, and influential voices whose audiences include mid-market ERP buyers and channel partners.
- Build and maintain active relationships with target analysts, positioning Intuit Enterprise Suite and QuickBooks Advanced as platforms worth recommending — keeping analysts current on product direction, competitive positioning, and the partner program.
- Drive a consistent cadence of introductions from analyst relationships: warm referrals from analysts to mid-market prospects actively evaluating or replacing ERP platforms.
- Provide analysts with the product knowledge, competitive context, and reference materials they need to credibly recommend Intuit's mid-market platform to their audiences and clients.
- Track analyst-sourced introductions through the attribution model, ensuring each qualified referral is tagged to the originating analyst and reflected in pipeline reporting.
Digital marketing agency relationships:
- Identify and recruit digital marketing agencies whose client base includes mid-market businesses with ERP needs — prioritizing agencies with active practices in verticals where IES has strong product-market fit.
- Build the agency partner engagement model: define the value proposition for agency partners, develop the referral process and attribution mechanism, and create the co-marketing and lead-routing infrastructure that makes it easy for agencies to send leads to Intuit.
- Enable agency partners on Intuit's mid-market product lineup and lead qualification criteria — ensuring that introductions from agencies meet the quality threshold for IES sales engagement.
- Drive ongoing engagement with active agency partners: regular pipeline reviews, co-marketing activity, and program performance conversations.
- Track agency-sourced introductions through the same attribution model as the analyst segment.
Portfolio management & reporting:
- Maintain an active and prioritized portfolio of analyst and agency partners, with clear visibility into relationship health, referral activity, and pipeline contribution per partner.
- Identify underperforming relationships and develop targeted activation plans — additional enablement, co-marketing investment, or relationship reset as appropriate.
- Report regularly on analyst and agency pipeline contribution to Felicia Wilson and the broader Commercial Partnerships leadership.
- Surface market intelligence from analyst and agency conversations — buyer sentiment, competitive dynamics, and segment trends — to the IES product and go-to-market teams.
Cross-functional collaboration:
- Collaborate with the ISV Partner Manager and other Commercial BD colleagues to identify where analyst or agency relationships intersect with or amplify other partner motions.
- Work with marketing to develop analyst-specific content programs, agency co-marketing campaigns, and thought leadership materials that strengthen Intuit's position in the mid-market ERP ecosystem.
- Engage with the IES product team to keep analyst partners current on roadmap direction and ensure that Intuit's product story is compelling and accurate in analyst-generated content and recommendations.
Qualifications
Required
- 10+ years of experience in channel partnerships, business development, or partner management within a SaaS or enterprise software company.
- Familiarity with the mid-market ERP analyst and channel consultant community — you know who the influential voices are, how they operate, and what motivates them to refer business.
- Demonstrated experience building commercial partner relationships and driving referral pipeline through those relationships.
- Strong communication and relationship-building skills: able to engage credibly with independent analysts and digital agency principals, and to maintain productive long-term relationships with minimal formal program infrastructure.
- Experience managing a partner portfolio with clear pipeline tracking and attribution discipline.
- Proficiency with CRM tools (Salesforce preferred) and standard sales and partnership productivity platforms.
Preferred
- Direct experience working with mid-market ERP channel analysts, software selection consultants, or VAR-channel commentators — you have existing relationships in this community.
- Experience building agency partner programs, including referral process design, lead qualification frameworks, and co-marketing infrastructure.
- Familiarity with Intuit Enterprise Suite, QuickBooks Advanced, or competing mid-market ERP platforms (Sage Intacct, Acumatica, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics).

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding E-3 Visa Sponsorship in Senior Director Strategic Partnerships
Frame your degree as specialty occupation evidence
Strategic partnerships roles can draw scrutiny on specialty occupation grounds because duties vary widely. Document the direct link between your bachelor's degree field and your core responsibilities in partnership strategy, deal structuring, or ecosystem development before applying.
Target employers with LCA filing history
Search the DOL's Office of Foreign Labor Certification disclosure data to identify companies that have certified LCAs for senior director-level business development roles. Prior LCA filings signal an employer already understands the E-3 visa process, shortening negotiation time.
Raise E-3 sponsorship before the offer stage
Senior director searches often move quickly from final-round interviews to verbal offers. Clarify your E-3 requirement during the offer conversation, not after signing, so legal review and LCA preparation don't delay your start date by weeks.
Confirm your title reflects specialty occupation duties
A title mismatch between the LCA and your actual responsibilities is a common consular flag at this level. Work with your employer to ensure the job description filed with DOL accurately reflects the strategic, degree-requiring nature of your partnerships role.
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service for end-to-end preparation
Use Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service to handle your LCA and visa paperwork from offer acceptance through consulate appointment. For senior director roles where employer HR teams may lack E-3 experience, having dedicated filing support reduces errors and delays.
Prepare for consulate questions on nonimmigrant intent
Senior-level roles with equity compensation or long-term partnership mandates can prompt consular officers to probe your intent to return to Australia. Have clear, concrete answers ready about your role's defined scope and your ties outside the U.S.
E-3 Visa Senior Director Strategic Partnerships: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find Senior Director Strategic Partnerships jobs with E-3 sponsorship?
Migrate Mate is the most direct way to search for these roles. It filters opportunities specifically by E-3 visa sponsorship eligibility, so you're not sorting through listings that won't support Australian nationals. Senior director-level partnership roles do appear regularly, particularly in technology, SaaS, and enterprise services sectors where Australian professionals are actively recruited.
How much does it cost to get an E-3 visa?
Migrate Mate's E-3 filing service covers the entire process for $499, including the Labor Condition Application, visa document preparation, and consulate appointment guidance. Traditional immigration lawyers charge $2,000–$5,000+ for the same work. The E-3 has less paperwork than most work visas, so paying thousands for legal help is usually unnecessary.
Does a Senior Director Strategic Partnerships role qualify as a specialty occupation for E-3 purposes?
It can, but the qualification is not automatic. USCIS and consular officers look for evidence that the role normally requires a bachelor's degree in a specific field, such as business, marketing, or a related discipline. Generic or broadly defined partnership roles can be challenged, so the job description and LCA need to clearly document the degree-specific nature of the work.
How does the E-3 compare to the H-1B for this role?
The E-3 has no annual cap and no lottery, meaning you and your employer can file at any time and expect a predictable outcome. The H-1B visa has an 85,000-slot annual cap with a randomised lottery, so most applicants are not selected regardless of qualifications. For Australian nationals, the E-3 is almost always the faster and more reliable path to starting a senior director role in the U.S.
Can I change employers after starting on an E-3 in a partnerships role?
Yes, but each employer change requires a new LCA certified by DOL and a new E-3 visa or change of status. You can begin working for a new employer once the LCA is certified and the new visa is approved. There is no grace period provision in the E-3 that automatically extends your work authorization while the new petition is pending, so timing matters.
