Надеюсь, это хорошая новость на фоне повсеместных hiring-freezes и некотороместных увольнений :)

Итак, мне нужны: OEM Alliance Managers, с основным фокусом на HP и IBM, но возможен и более широкий круг партнеров; Reseller Manager с фокусом на системных интеграторов (job descriptions – ниже).

Кроме того, нам в команду требуются: Account Managers с вертикальным фокусом на промышленность, финансы и энергетику и System Engineers для исполнения функций presale. Все описания скоро появятся на сайте vmware, но резюме можно присылать уже сегодня мне на aantich at gmail точка com. Пожалуйста, в сабжекте указывайте, какая позиция вас интересует.

В России за последние 2 года мы выросли в 16 раз, в мире все еще являемся самой быстрорастущей компанией производителем ПО за всю историю индустрии. Понятно, что следующий год легким не будет, но как уже неоднократно говорилось, VMware – один из немногих вендоров, который реально помогает компаниям в условиях кризиса, так что момент очень интересный.

Основная задача OEM Alliance Manager – обеспечивать рост совместного бизнеса с нашими OEM партнерами, в первую очередь, HP и IBM: планирование заказчиков, выстраивание отношений, семинары, презентации, совместные походы к заказчикам, организация и планирование technical enablement и marketing и т.п.

Reseller Manager – то же самое, но список партнеров больше.

Кроме этого, так как нас все еще немного, то постоянно появляются новые интересные проекты, которыми кому-то нужно заниматься – ISV партнеры, альянсы, system builders итд итп – и это только в партнерской организации.

Ну и конечно нам нужны лучшие люди ;)
