• Provide hands-on assistance with configuration and rollout.
• Lead or assist with partner onboarding and training sessions to ensure partners are equipped to roll out the solution to their clients effectively.
• Serve as the first line of support for partner inquiries, escalating technical issues or bugs to internal teams as needed and tracking them through resolution.
• Gather partner feedback and feature requests, document insights, and relay them to product, engineering, and executive teams to influence roadmap decisions.
• Collaborate with Sales and Partner Success Managers to identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities, encouraging partners to expand deployment (e.g., growing from seats to 1,).
• Support the Head of Partner Success in executing broader organizational initiatives that drive partner engagement, satisfaction, and revenue growth.
• Maintain accurate records of partner interactions, deployment milestones, and feedback in CRM and partner success tools.
• Trend Reporting — Provide leadership with regular insights into partner trends, adoption rates, and recurring challenges across the MSP ecosystem.
• Represent the company at industry conferences and partner events to strengthen relationships and gather market intelligence.

Qualifications

• Native-level English fluency (spoken and written) required for daily partner communication.
• Availability during U.S. East Coast business hours (partial overlap acceptable).
• 1–3 years of experience in Customer Success, Partner Success, Channel Support, or related roles—ideally within the MSP ecosystem.
• Familiarity with MSP operations and common tools such as RMM, PSA, or ticketing platforms.
• Strong communication, organizational, and relationship-building skills; comfortable spending most of the day on partner calls and follow-ups.
• Proven ability to manage multiple partner relationships simultaneously and maintain structured outreach and documentation.
• Moderate technical proficiency and the ability to understand software deployments, dashboards, and IT environments.
• Interest in SaaS, IT, or cybersecurity solutions and enthusiasm for helping MSPs succeed.

• Highly organized with strong follow-up discipline and attention to detail.
• Capable of cross-functional collaboration across Sales, Support, Product, and Executive teams.
