• Drive Mutual Growth: Develop and execute joint business plans with key partners, defining mutual KPIs and revenue targets to create win-win relationships. You are the CEO of your partner territory.
• Lead Go-to-Market Execution: Collaborate with partners and our marketing team to launch creative, pipeline-generating campaigns, webinars, and field events.
• Champion Partner Enablement: Transform partners into Torq experts. Lead engaging training sessions and provide continuous support to ensure they can confidently articulate our value and drive sales.
• Deliver Predictable Results: Own your forecast. Meticulously track partner performance, manage pipeline, and report on key metrics to ensure we are meeting and exceeding our channel revenue goals.

What You'll Bring (The Qualifications):

• Experience: 3−5+ years of experience in a channel sales or partner management role within a B2B SaaS company, preferably in cybersecurity, IT operations, or automation.
• Proven Success: A demonstrated track record of meeting and exceeding channel sales quotas. You know how to recruit, enable, and co-sell with partners to win.
• Strategic Mindset: You think beyond transactional sales, with experience building and executing multi-quarter joint business plans.
• Exceptional Communicator: You possess outstanding presentation and relationship-building skills, with the ability to articulate a complex value proposition to both technical and business stakeholders.
• Self-Starter: You are highly organized, motivated, and thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You are comfortable with ambiguity and take ownership of your outcomes.
• Tooling: Proficiency with CRM software (e.g., Salesforce) and partner management tools.
