What You'll Do:

• Serve as connective tissue between our Sales team and the Channel, joining regional pipeline calls and facilitating deal progression.

• Partner-sourced and co-sell pipeline generation across your region.
• Proof of concept conversion to closed deals.
• How you build and manage your business and the depth of relationships at partners.
• Quality and cleanliness of partner pipeline data in Salesforce and Clari.
• Quarterly flywheel producing qualified opportunities that convert to wins.
• Movement of channel relationships from transactional to strategic depth.

• You know how to use your network to get your company in front of the right people, including plugging in executives at the right moments.
