About the role
- Align directly with a defined sales segment or region, serving as an overlay to Account Executives throughout the full sales lifecycle—from qualification through close
- Recruit partners to the eco-system where appropriate, and support onboarding and activation
- Attend weekly sales forecast meetings, partner enablement sessions and engage with cross functional teams to ensure sales, and partners, have what they need to grow revenue together
- Ensure partners are attached to every deal—whether for insight, influence, or co-selling—and that partner engagement drives measurable revenue outcomes
- Serve as a trusted partner to Sales AEs during opportunity qualification, deal strategy, and closing
- Match the ideal partner profile to each opportunity based on customer needs, deal complexity, and buying motion
- Ensure partners are engaged early and effectively for market and account intelligence, executive access and influence, technical validation or services, joint value storytelling and credibility
- Lead and coordinate co-sell activities, including account mapping and whitespace analysis, deal strategy and pipeline review sessions, joint customer meetings and workshops, proposal, business case, and mutual close planning
- Act as the source of truth for partner capabilities, positioning, and field readiness
- Gather real-time intel from the ecosystem and feed insights back to Sales and Leadership
- Identify patterns in partner influence and replicate what works across segments, including partner triangulation (Tech & Service partners)
- Maintain a tight feedback loop with partners to improve win rates and velocity
- Own and drive partner influence on Closed-Won revenue
- Ensure partner attachment and engagement is intentional, tracked, and measurable
- Partner with Sales Ops to improve visibility into partner-influenced pipeline, partner-assisted wins, deal velocity and conversion impact
- Collaborate closely with Sales, Solutions Engineering, Marketing, and Customer & Partner Success
- Champion partner-first thinking internally and help Sales teams build confidence in the practice of collaborative selling
- Help define and refine repeatable partner-assisted sales motions as the company scales.
Requirements

- Strong understanding of how partners influence buying decisions—not just transact

- Natural collaborator who builds trust with Sales AEs and partner teams alike
- Confident leading multi-party deal teams without direct authority
- Excellent communication skills—clear, direct, and credible with senior stakeholders
