Who you are:

The Channel Sales and Partnerships Manager is responsible for executing Semios’ channel sales and partnership strategy to drive revenue growth through new and existing partner relationships.

• Lead commercial discussions and negotiate partnership terms in partnership with Sales Leadership, Finance, and Legal.
• Develop partner-specific business plans, opportunity assessments, and activation plans to support channel growth.
• Partner with Sales to identify new business, expansion, and upsell opportunities supported by channel relationships.
• Track partner engagement, pipeline activity, revenue contribution, and other key performance metrics.
• Share market, partner, and customer insights with Sales, Product, Marketing, Operations, and leadership to support commercial execution.
• Represent Semios professionally with partners, customers, and industry contacts.
