What success looks like

Within your first 6 months, you will:

• Create a business plan that enables Meter to scale effectively through partners in the Pacific Northwest region.
• Develop an enablement strategy to attract, develop and grow relationships with targeted partners that can bring outsized value to Meter.
• Drive deal registrations and closed won revenue within our named partners.
• Build, own and scale a partner enablement program for named partners.

What your day-to-day will look like

From day one, you will own the Channel business through our VARs and partners in the Northwest region. Your days will consist of:

• Diligently hunting down and onboarding new VARs and partners in the region.
• Meeting virtually and in-person with key existing VAR contacts, both channel reps and regional leadership, to strengthen relationships and uncover deal opportunities.
• Identify target verticals and accounts where partners already have existing relationships and influence.
• Actively track and drive deal registrations through to closed-won revenue alongside Meter’s direct Sales team.
• Align with Meter’s internal Sales, Product and Marketing teams to ensure regional channel strategy is in line with company-wide priorities.
• Monitor and analyze partner pipeline metrics, identifying bottlenecks or high-leverage activities.
• Delivering ongoing training and enablement to partners, making sure they’re up to date on Meter’s offerings, roadmap and competitive positioning.
• Hitting the road to get in front of customers and partners in person for training sessions, lunch-and-learns and technical overviews
• Representing Meter at partner events, trade shows and joint customer meetings, as well as organizing and hosting our own Meter-sponsored events to deepen engagement and generate pipeline.
• Forecasting channel-driven revenue and reporting on progress against targets with Meter’s Sales leadership.
