JOB DESCRIPTION

The Partner Development Manager is responsible for acquiring new channel partners and supporting existing partners to successfully sell our white label ATS and Employee Onboarding solutions to their clients. This role requires a high-character, relationship-driven hunter who excels at consultative selling, builds trust over longer sales cycles, and maintains ownership of a proactive pipeline.

This is a business development role with a channel sales focus, blending net-new partner acquisition with hands-on support to help partners advance and close their own end-client opportunities. The ideal candidate thrives in a structured sales environment, stays consistent in advancing deals, and collaborates cross-functionally to ensure partners see early and ongoing revenue success.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

New Partner Acquisition

• Proactively prospect and engage inbound leads to close new channel partners across key verticals (HR Tech, PEOs, and niche vertical systems).
• Own and advance a high-quality pipeline with discipline, maintaining forward momentum throughout longer, relationship-driven sales cycles.
• Conduct thoughtful outbound outreach, discovery conversations, product demos, and solution presentations that build trust and establish clear next steps.
• Drive partner conversions through consistent, business-value-focused messaging, highlighting partner ROI and core business drivers rather than feature lists.
• Prepare Statements of Work (SOWs) and occasionally collaborate on RFP responses to formalize agreements and solidify new partnerships.

Partner Revenue Activation

• Guide new partners through early activation, collaborating cross-functionally on GTM planning, initial positioning, and early sales enablement.
• Provide honest forecasting, ensuring visibility into expected end-client opportunities and revenue progression.
• Lead sales calls, conduct demos, and support discovery to help partners close their end-client deals and build confidence in selling the solution.

Pipeline Management & Accountability

• Maintain a clean, updated CRM and Deal pipeline that reflects real-time opportunity status, next steps, and deal confidence.
• Follow a structured, repeatable sales process while contributing insights to refine and improve workflows over time.
• Provide clear weekly reporting on pipeline health, prospecting activity, deal advancement, and forecast accuracy.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner cross-functionally to ensure seamless activation of new partners, smooth handoffs, and continuity throughout the sales-to-success lifecycle.
• Contribute partner and market insights to help shape product roadmap priorities, refine value messaging, and strengthen overall go-to-market strategies.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 2+ years of experience in B2B SaaS sales, channel sales, or partner-driven new business development.
  • Bonus: Experience selling HR tech or API/embedded solutions.
• Proven success in new business acquisition with measurable results.
• Strong consultative selling skills, including discovery, presentation, and objection handling.
• Excellent communicator who can distill complex information into simple, compelling value.
• High degree of organization, accountability, and pipeline discipline.
• Comfortable running demos and communicating technical concepts without over-engineering conversations.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• You consistently generate and advance a healthy pipeline of new partner opportunities.
• You activate new partners quickly and guide them to early wins.
• You help partners close end-client deals that drive monthly recurring revenue (MRR).
• You demonstrate consistency, balance, systems thinking, and professionalism.
• You become a trusted partner to internal teams and partner ecosystems alike.
