About the role

Automation Anywhere is establishing a new business unit within its Channels organization to build and scale a Managed Service Provider (MSP) play with our partner ecosystem. We are looking for a General Manager to own this business end to end — a seasoned P&L senior leader (15-20 years of experience) who can set the strategy, build the partner network, drive revenue, and ensure consistent delivery and execution. This is an entrepreneurial, build-from-the-ground-up mandate for a seasoned leader who is equally comfortable in the boardroom, in front of partners, and in the operational detail of getting deals delivered.

What you'll own

Business & P&L

• Full ownership of the MSP business unit P&L, including revenue, margin, investment, and growth targets.

• Define and execute the go-to-market strategy for the MSP play, including business model, pricing/commercials, and the partner economics that make the motion scalable.

• Build the multi-year business plan and operating model for the unit.

Sales & revenue

• Drive net-new and recurring revenue through MSP partners, owning the number and the pipeline.

• Establish the sales motion, targets, and forecasting rigor for partner-led and partner-delivered revenue.

• Partner with the direct sales organization to align on coverage, deal economics, and conflict management.

Partner relationships

• Identify, recruit, onboard, and grow a portfolio of MSP partners.

• Build executive-level relationships with partner leadership and serve as the senior point of contact for the ecosystem.

• Design and run partner enablement, certification, and incentive programs that build partner capability and commitment.

Delivery & execution

• Ensure partners can deliver automation outcomes to their end customers reliably and at quality.

• Put in place the delivery frameworks, governance, and success metrics that protect customer outcomes and the Automation Anywhere brand.

• Resolve escalations and remove blockers across the partner delivery lifecycle.

Leadership & cross-functional

• Build, lead, and develop the team for the new unit as it scales.

• Work closely with Product, Marketing, Customer Success, Legal, and Finance to support the MSP motion.

• Represent the business unit to senior leadership, providing clear reporting on performance against plan.

What you'll bring

• 15–20 years of progressive leadership experience in enterprise software / SaaS.

• Demonstrated ownership of a multi-million-dollar P&L, with a track record of building and scaling a business or business unit and being accountable for the number.

• Direct experience with MSP and/or managed services models — ideally building or running a partner-delivered services motion.

• A strong track record of driving revenue through and with partners, not just direct.

• Exceptional execution and cross-functional leadership — proven ability to mobilize and align teams across Sales, Product, Marketing, Customer Success, Finance, and Legal to deliver results without direct authority over them.

• Operational discipline to ensure delivery quality and customer outcomes, not just signings.

• Experience in intelligent/agentic automation, AI, or adjacent enterprise technology is a strong advantage.

• An IT / IT Service Management (ITSM) background is a plus.

• Comfort with ambiguity and a genuine builder's mindset; this is a new unit, not a steady-state book of business.
