About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Lead US Co-Sell Motions with Microsoft
  • Own day-to-day Co-sell execution between Semperis AEs and Microsoft field sellers (AE, ATS, Security Specialists, Azure Specialists) for opportunities, from referral creation through close.
  • Coordinate and lead joint account calls with Semperis Client Directors and Microsoft, capture follow-up actions, and drive execution to keep deals moving.
  • Support Azure Marketplace & Private Offer Execution
  • Work with AEs, Finance, and Bid Desk to translate quotes into Azure Marketplace private offers (direct and MPO), including customer price, partner transfer price, and margin structure.
  • Collect and validate all required Marketplace inputs (tenant ID, billing account, purchaser details, MACC utilization, etc.) and prepare structured packages for offer configuration.
  • Guide customers and partners through Marketplace procurement, helping them leverage MACC and simplify contracting to de-risk and accelerate deals.
  • Track private-offer stages from draft to customer acceptance and subscription, ensuring internal systems and pipeline reflect accurate status.
  • Pipeline Building with Microsoft
  • Build and maintain a Co-sell and Marketplace pipeline, including partner-sourced and partner-influenced opportunities aligned to priority accounts and plays.
  • Leverage Microsoft programs (Marketplace Rewards, MACC, solution assessments) to drive new pipeline and fund POCs aligned to Semperis priorities.
  • Work closely with Area Channel Directors and partner managers to align Co-sell and Marketplace motions with focus partners and GSIs (CDW, SHI, AHEAD, WWT, etc.).
  • Field Enablement & Internal Alignment
  • Act as first-line expert for sellers on 'when and how' to use Microsoft Co-sell and Azure Marketplace (including MPO and REO scenarios).
  • Deliver ongoing office hours, quick-start guides, and deal clinics to embed Co-sell and Marketplace into standard deal strategy, not a one-off exception.
  • Capture FAQs, edge cases, and best practices from the field, feeding them back into Better Together sales plays, playbooks, and enablement content.
  • Reporting, Analytics & Continuous Improvement
  • Maintain weekly and monthly reports on Co-sell nominations vs. accepted referrals, Co-sell-influenced pipeline and bookings, Marketplace candidates, and closed Marketplace deals (direct and MPO).
  • Highlight trends, gaps, and opportunities (e.g., high-potential accounts without Co-sell nominations, deals that should be redirected to Marketplace, under-utilized MACC, propensity-to-buy).
  • Provide feedback into Cloud Alliances strategy, FY planning, and GTM experiments based on what’s working in the field (territory coverage, partner GTM, Marketplace usage patterns).

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 3–5 years in B2B technology sales, business development, alliances, channel sales, or CSP/distributor operations, preferably in security or identity.
  • 2+ years operating Microsoft Co-sell and Azure Marketplace motions for an ISV (or equivalent experience at Microsoft, CSP, or NSP running ISV motions).
  • Demonstrated success leading joint account plans and Co-sell calls with Microsoft field teams and converting them into bookings (partner-influenced revenue).
  • Hands-on experience with Microsoft Partner Center, Co-sell referrals, MACC concepts, and Azure Marketplace private offers (including MPO with key channel partners).
  • Strong operational discipline: comfortable owning pipeline hygiene, process, and reporting around Co-sell and Marketplace transactions.
