You'll  obsess over conversion rates, pipeline velocity, and rep productivity. You'll work side-by-side with Marketing on demand gen,  RevOps on tooling and reporting, Product and Engineering on partner integrations, and Ad Ops on partner launch, all to package our Pre-Game, In-Game, and Post-Game moment products (Full Arc, The Moment, The Fanbase, and the Genius Momentum Score™) into repeatable, sellable activation paths.   WHAT YOU’LL DO After partnerships are closed, o wn and exceed the inside Channel Partnerships number, new partner activations and expansion across the existing mid-market and long-tail partner base.   Build the inside-sales playbook end-to-end: ICP definition, outbound cadences, qualification framework, demo motion, pricing guardrails, and contracting templates that close partners in weeks, not quarters.   Stand up the tooling stack: Salesforce, Outreach (or equivalent), Apollo / ZoomInfo, Gong, LinkedIn Sales Navigator and  operate  it as the source of truth for pipeline, activity, and forecast.   Define materials needed, process with  internal support  teams,  and  sales KPI’s .   Hire, ramp, coach, and  retain  a high-performing team  of sellers.
