Role overview

The Partner Account Manager (PAM) is an inside partner account manager role focused on working with small managed services partners who have relationships and sell to small businesses in an assigned territory. The role’s primary goal is sales growth through pipeline generation with partners. It involves small partner recruitment, enablement, and ongoing partner management from an inside motion. The role will facilitate partners’ co-selling into end-customer organizations with MSPs and will be a primary contact for territory partners. The PAM will be responsible for pulling resources from a shared pool (including vertical specialists, partner systems engineers, and partner marketing) to help drive sales for their partners. This individual must excel at influencing and coordinating with cross functional teams to meet and exceed sales targets. The role holds a unique sales quota, so experience selling to customers from an inside sales motion would be helpful.
