You will work directly alongside senior leadership across WWT and Softchoice. Expectations are high. The pace is unforgiving. The margin for error is low. This role is designed for operators who thrive in building from the ground up, bringing energy, precision, and resilience to help scale what is intended to become the largest Microsoft program in North America.

• Own the sales process for partner-led deals. From first partner introduction to closed deal. • Build the training that gets partners productive fast — product knowledge, use case positioning, objection handling, competitive differentiation — and the practical materials behind it: playbooks, reference guides, modules, video walkthroughs. • Run enablement sessions tied to live pipeline, not abstract theory. • Own the demo experience. Make it sharp, relevant, and repeatable for partner-led conversations. • Build demo environments that are current, compelling, and self-serve where possible. • Refine onboarding for partner-sourced deals.

Feed insights back to Product, Marketing, and Partnerships so that what partners and their clients say actually changes what we build. • Track and report the KPIs that matter — partner ramp time, demo conversion, onboarding satisfaction, deal velocity. • Grow the scope as the channel matures. Pipeline forecasting for partner-sourced deals. Post-sales support structure for partner-originated customers. Enablement for new markets as partnerships scale geographically.
