About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

Relationship Management & Strategy: You are the partner-facing lead. You run Quarterly Business Reviews (QBRs), drive strategic milestones (e.g., Azure Expert MSP), and actively develop the "PCG + Microsoft" narrative together with management.
Monetization & Marketplace: You oversee the scaling of our marketplace business. As the funding driver, you ensure every qualified enterprise deal (> €50k) is profitably supported through optimal allocation of funds (MDF, cash-back, POC funding).
Co-Sell Orchestration: You act as the "resource guard" and prioritize marketing and event activities based on strict ROI. You also organize mapping sessions between our internal areas and the Microsoft sales team.
Internal Enablement: You serve as a multiplier and ambassador. Through sales masterclasses and regular updates, you ensure our sales organization knows partner programs and uses them successfully.
Governance: You are responsible for monitoring and managing all certifications critical to partner status (100% compliance).

Requirements

What you’ll need

Strategic sales mindset: Deep understanding of cloud ecosystems and experience managing hyperscaler partnerships with a focus on Microsoft.
Entrepreneurial mindset: You are responsible for a P&L and think beyond "tickets"—you focus on Partner Contribution (Revenue + Funding − Costs).
Proven track record: You bring demonstrable success in this or a similar business and apply a hands-on approach to learning and improvement.
Hands-on deal acceleration: Ability to identify complex sales processes, apply funding levers, and proactively drive deals to closure.
Strong communicator: Confident presence at C‑level and the ability to act internally as an enabler for the sales organization.
Structured working style: You work data-driven, know your KPIs (in particular marketplace adoption & funding penetration), and steer your activities by measurable impact.
Personal qualities: You demonstrate high integrity, remain composed under pressure, show perseverance, and have the courage to drive necessary changes and tackle challenges.
Team player and drive: You are results-oriented and enjoy collaborating with our diverse team of passionate experts.
