Mandatory Skills





Sourcing or influencing pipeline and revenue through partners or alliances, with named deals and a clear personal contribution — not just relationship maintenance

Working knowledge of hyperscaler or technology partner programmes — co-sell, opportunity registration, partner tiers and funding — ideally AWS, in an IT services or software consulting environment

Recruiting, onboarding and activating partners to a first qualified prospect, with a defined routine and a rule for dropping weak partners

Partner commercial structures — referral fees, revenue share and joint proposals — and the attribution of partner-sourced versus partner-influenced deals

Partnering with pre-sales and delivery teams on co-sell positioning and joint proposals, without becoming a pass-through for their output

Strong CRM discipline (tagging partner-sourced and partner-influenced deals), follow-through and initiative without being asked.
