About Ping Identity:
At Ping Identity, we believe in making digital experiences both secure and seamless for all users, without compromise. We call this digital freedom. And it's not just something we provide our customers. It's something that inspires our company. People don't come here to join a culture that's built on digital freedom. They come to cultivate it.
Our intelligent, cloud identity platform lets people shop, work, bank, and interact wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.
While protecting digital identities is at the core of our technology, protecting individual identities is at the core of our culture. We champion every identity. One of our core values, Respect Individuality, reminds us to celebrate differences so you are empowered to bring your authentic self to work.
We're headquartered in Denver, Colorado and we have offices and employees around the globe. We serve the largest, most demanding enterprises worldwide, including more than half of the Fortune 100. At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people and businesses think about cybersecurity, digital experiences, and identity and access management.
About the Role:
At Ping Identity, we're changing the way people think about enterprise security technology. With our Identity Defined Security platform, we’re building a borderless world where people—and now intelligent systems and AI agents—have the freedom to work wherever and however they want. Without friction. Without fear.
We call this digital freedom. And as AI reshapes enterprise software, customer engagement, and workforce productivity, identity becomes even more critical. AI systems require secure access, verified data, trusted interactions, and governed autonomy. Ping Identity sits at the center of that transformation.

As a Technology Alliance Manager – AI Partnerships, you will lead and expand Ping’s AI-focused technology alliances, driving co-innovation, co-market, and co-sell initiatives that position Ping as the identity foundation for AI-powered enterprises.
Reporting to the Director of Technology Alliances, this role requires a strategic partnership leader who understands AI ecosystems, thrives in a rapidly evolving landscape, and is passionate about building differentiated, revenue-generating partnerships.
