Outsmart the Competition – Stay ahead of market trends, adjust quickly, and lead partners to outperform in competitive environments.

5+ years of channel sales or channel management experience in any: Cloud based networking, SaaS, IaaS, UCaaS, MSPs, and WAN networking in the telecommunications space.
Proven track record of exceeding revenue targets and scaling channel programs.
Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills—you know how to close and how to influence.
High energy, high ownership, and a no-excuses mindset.
Data-driven with the ability to quickly pivot based on performance metrics.
