• Collaborate with US-based Channel Directors and Partner Development Managers to ensure consistent execution, communication, and alignment on priorities. 

• Prepare, update, and deliver performance reports, partner summaries, and internal readouts to leadership. 
• Execute programmatic motions such as webinars, email campaigns, nurture journeys, and partner onboarding tasks.

• Familiarity with MSP business models and the Microsoft cloud ecosystem and Google. 
• Experience managing a high volume of accounts in an inside-sales or scaled-engagement environment. 
• Strong French verbal and written communication skills to collaborate with Canada-based teams and partners. 

Day-to-Day Expectations 

• Conduct structured outreach cadences to partners (calls, emails, LinkedIn). 

• Maintain an active pipeline with timely updates and follow-through. 

• Create partner summaries, track enablement progress, and prepare internal updates. 

• Collaborate with NA Channel Sales team on campaigns, priorities, and escalations.
