Position Summary

We are seeking a motivated, high-potential Channel Partner Account Manager to help accelerate growth across our North American channel partner network. This is a hands-on, individual contributor role for someone early in their career who wants real responsibility, exposure to cross-functional teams, and a clear path for growth.

Reporting to the Manager, Account Management, you will work closely as a teammate with the Channel Partner Solutions Manager to grow existing accounts, develop new opportunities, and deliver a best-in-class customer experience. This role blends consultative selling, operational execution, and strategic account development—ideal for someone who enjoys both thinking and doing.

What You’ll Do

You will play a critical role in driving revenue, strengthening partner relationships, and positioning our team as trusted advisors to our customers.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Grow and develop channel partner accounts by partnering with the Channel Partner Solutions Manager to build pipeline, expand wallet share, and pursue new customer opportunities.
  • Create and execute account business plans that clearly define where we play, how we win, and how we grow—grounded in data and customer insight.
  • Drive revenue through proactive account management, cross-selling, and new business development initiatives.
  • Analyze sales data, order history, and trends to identify risks and opportunities, enabling consultative conversations focused on long-term customer success.
  • Own territory forecasting, reporting, and sales analysis for the channel partner segment.
  • Manage end-to-end order execution, including order entry, pricing validation, ERP accuracy, and lead-time tracking.
  • Prepare and present quotes, proposals, and pricing for both transactional and growth opportunities.
  • Coordinate cross-functionally with manufacturing, logistics, and international shipping teams to ensure accurate, on-time delivery.
  • Collaborate with Sales and Technical teams to recommend solutions, price new products, upgrades, and add-ons.
  • Support key account initiatives, including RMAs, service, and warranty issue resolution.
  • Serve as a primary customer point of contact, delivering a high-quality, responsive, and professional experience throughout the sales cycle.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for someone who is intellectually curious, takes ownership, and wants to grow into a larger commercial leadership role over time.

Required Qualifications:

  • 2–5 years of experience in B2B sales, account management, or customer-facing roles within a manufacturing environment.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Business or a related field.
  • Demonstrated ability to proactively manage accounts and drive revenue growth.
  • Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights.
  • Advanced proficiency with Microsoft Office, CRM, and ERP systems.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
  • Willingness to travel occasionally for customer visits and trade shows.

Preferred Experience:

  • Experience in or exposure to SaaS or technology-enabled solutions.
  • Working knowledge of Sales, Operations, Finance, and IT functions.
  • International sales and shipping experience; familiarity with freight forwarding is a plus.

Why This Role

This role offers meaningful responsibility, direct exposure to senior commercial leaders, and the opportunity to learn how a manufacturing-driven business scales through channel partnerships. You will have a seat at the table, a voice in strategy, and clear expectations tied to real outcomes.

If you are smart, driven, humble, and eager to grow, this role provides a strong foundation for a long-term career in account management and sales leadership.
