## What they're looking for

- 10+ years in channel sales or partnerships, including 5+ years leading and scaling quota-carrying teams — ideally in high-growth SaaS, fintech, marketplace, or travel technology
- A closer and a coach: a proven record of personally converting complex, multi-stakeholder deals, and of building teams that consistently hit signing and activation targets
- A builder: has walked into a small team, figured out the build, created the playbook, and scaled it — not just inherited a machine that already ran
- Multi-motion range: comfort selling and structuring across referral, co-sell, and co-marketing — and across partner types from GPOs and trade associations to marketplaces, franchise networks, and ERP/technology partners
- Strong commercial negotiation skills with a bias toward partnerships that activate — not vanity logos
- A direct, data-backed communicator who gives and receives hard feedback without flinching
