Role Overview

- Track partner performance and identify which relationships should be accelerated, developed or deprioritised.
- Maintain accurate partner, pipeline and opportunity data in Salesforce and relevant partner systems.
- Provide regular forecasts and updates on partner pipeline, revenue, risks and upcoming opportunities.
- Work with Marketing on partner campaigns, events, webinars and co-marketing opportunities that create demand.
