  • Develop joint go-to-market strategies and co-selling initiatives to drive revenue growth, including identifying new business opportunities, managing pipeline, and tracking partnership performance.
  • Design and deliver onboarding and enablement programs for partners, ensuring they have the tools, training, and support necessary to successfully sell and support our solutions.
  • Represent Zenskar at industry events, conferences, and partner meetings to enhance brand awareness and network with potential partners.
  • Key qualifications

  • Track record of consistently beating your quota
