Manage a six-month funnel using Pax8’s sales methodology (Force Management experience is a plus).
Coordinate with internal POD teams and SMEs to facilitate impactful 1:1s and keep momentum high.
Travel up to 50% to attend partner meetings and industry events, deepening relationships and creating opportunities.
✅ You’ll thrive in this role if you:
Have 4+ years of experience in the IT channel, specifically working with L arge Managed Service Providers (MSPs)—you know how they operate, what they care about, and how to win their trust.
Can expertly manage complex deals from discovery to close in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment.
Know how to drive partner enablement while hitting your own revenue goals.
Love collaborating with technical experts and other internal teams to solve business problems.
Are confident presenting to C-level decision makers and can adapt your message to different audiences.
Are open to frequent travel and excited to build real, face-to-face relationships.
🎓 A degree in Business, Technology, or a related field is preferred. You’ll also need to either already have, or be willing to earn, a Microsoft Certification within 6 months of hire.
📈 What success looks like:
Within 60 days, you’ll:
Be fully onboarded into Pax8’s platform, offerings, and sales motion.
Have met your assigned A1 partners and started building your pipeline.
Within 90 days, you’ll:
Be actively managing a book of large MSPs with strategic sales opportunities underway.
