Partner Sales Manager

Location: Remote / Hybrid (Aligned to Sales Segment or Region)
Reports to: VP Global Partner Ecosystem (dotted line to Sales Leadership)

Why This Role Matters

We believe the next phase of our growth will be partner-led—not partner-adjacent.

We’re hiring a Partner Sales Manager to help shape how our company leads with partners in every deal. This role sits directly alongside our Sales organization, acting as the ecosystem expert, a deal strategist, and the co-sell orchestrator who ensures the right partners are engaged in the right opportunities at the right time.

If you thrive at the intersection of sales execution, ecosystem strategy, and revenue accountability, and want to influence how a company builds its go-to-market motion from the ground up, this role is for you.

What You’ll Do

As a Partner Sales Manager, you will 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. You’ll be a core part of the Partnerships team. You’ll recruit partners to the eco-system where appropriate, and support onboarding and activation. You’ll 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. 

Your mission: ensure partners are attached to every deal—whether for insight, influence, or co-selling—and that partner engagement drives measurable revenue outcomes.

Core Responsibilities

Partner-Led Deal Execution

  • 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

Ecosystem Intelligence & Activation

  • 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

Revenue Impact & Measurement

  • 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

Cross-Functional Leadership

  • 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

What You Bring

Experience

  • 5–8+ years of experience in partner sales, alliances, channel, or ecosystem-driven GTM roles
  • Proven success operating as a sales-aligned overlay, not a standalone partner manager
  • Demonstrated ability to influence closed-won revenue through partners
  • Experience working with complex sales cycles, multi-stakeholder deals, and enterprise or mid-market buyers

Sales & Ecosystem Fluency

  • Strong understanding of how partners influence buying decisions—not just transact
  • Ability to diagnose deals and prescribe the right partner strategy, not a one-size-fits-all approach
  • Comfort working deal-by-deal while also identifying scalable patterns

Collaboration & Leadership

  • 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

Analytical & Operational Mindset

  • Experience tracking partner influence, engagement, and revenue impact in CRM
  • Comfortable with pipeline analysis, deal reviews, and performance reporting
  • Experience with modern CRM tools (HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar)

Why You’ll Love This Role

  • You will shape the model. This is not a “run the playbook” role—you’ll help build it.
  • Direct revenue ownership. Your success is measured by deals won, not activities completed.
  • Tight sales alignment. You’ll be embedded with Sales, not operating on the sidelines.
  • High visibility. Your work will influence how the company scales partner-led growth.
  • Small company impact. Your ideas, execution, and results will matter immediately.

We don’t believe in partners as a checkbox.
