Required Experience
• 3+ years of B2B SaaS sales, channel sales, strategic partnerships, or ecosystem business development experience, including 3+ years directly owning revenue-generating partnerships.
• Demonstrated success sourcing, negotiating, launching, and scaling referral, co-sell, reseller, integration, or revenue-share partnerships.

6. Market Presence: Execute partner-led events and campaigns that generate measurable, qualified pipeline.
7. Pipeline Discipline: Accurately track partner-sourced pipeline, conversion rates, and revenue contribution.

• Entrepreneurial Ownership: Thrives while building a partner channel in a high-growth, performance-driven environment.

Culture Add: TEAM Values
We value team members who communicate with transparency and build trust across functions. You bring excellence and expertise to your craft, maintain a high standard for quality, and continuously improve. You demonstrate accountability by owning outcomes, following through on commitments, and taking responsibility for results. You are driven by metrics and use data and experimentation to deliver measurable impact.

Aptitudes
• Smart: Quickly understands complex systems, connects ideas, and makes sound judgments.
• Curious: Seeks to understand customer problems, emerging technologies, and better ways of working.
• Coachable: Welcomes feedback, adapts, and continuously improves.

What’s in It for You
You will directly influence revenue growth by building a high-impact partnerships channel from the ground up. You will work closely with senior leadership and help shape go-to-market strategy across North America.

You will operate in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with strong alignment across Sales, Marketing, and Product, while maintaining autonomy to develop and execute your partner strategy.

Compensation: The salary range is $70,000–$90,000 USD plus variable sales commission. Compensation is a good-faith estimate and may vary based on relevant experience, skills, and geographic location.
