Channel Partner Acquisition Manager

At Webfleet, we are the global leader in connected mobility solutions, helping businesses improve fleet performance, increase efficiency, and drive a more sustainable future through data-driven technology. As we continue to grow, we are looking for an ambitious and results-oriented Channel Partner Acquisition Manager to join our Sales team and play a key role in expanding the BPP partner network to boost sales activities. Regaining and expanding market share in the sales partner segment.

Here's a little taste of your challenge:

Channel Partner Identification & Recruitment

• Develop and execute a channel recruitment strategy to identify, attract and onboard high-potential channel partners.

• Proactively map target markets, industries and territories to identify potential channel partners aligned with business growth strategy including software integrators, TMS/ERP/GMAO vendors and solution providers, not limited to traditional hardware resellers.

• Build and maintain a robust recruitment pipeline of prospective resellers, distributors, integrators and strategic partners.

• Ensure recruitment activity complements and strengthens the current channel, avoiding/minimising overlap or partner conflict.

• Lead partner recruitment activities, including prospecting, outreach, qualification, business case development and contract negotiation.

• Deliver new partner acquisition targets measured by partner signings, activation rates and revenue contribution.

• Prioritise partners capable of delivering end-to-end, integrated solutions (data, software, services) as a key differentiator in a market shifting from hardware to service-led value.

Partner Acquisition, Activation and Development

• Drive the end-to-end partner acquisition journey from initial engagement through to onboarding and first revenue generation.

• Develop partner business plans to ensure rapid time-to-value and early sales success.

• Accelerate partner activation by establishing clear launch plans, sales targets and development milestones.

• Ensure new partners complete required training and certifications to achieve operational readiness - including technical integration capabilities (API/connector knowledge, TMS/ERP interoperability) where relevant to the partner's solution offering.

• Monitor onboarding effectiveness and remove barriers that may delay partner productivity.

• Build strategic relationships with newly recruited partners to maximise engagement and long-term growth.

• Act as the primary contact during the critical first stages of partner development.

• Identify opportunities to expand partner capabilities, territories and solution portfolios - particularly around service delivery (installation, maintenance, support) as fleet customers increasingly value ongoing service over one-off hardware sales.

• Ensure partners are equipped with the tools, resources and support required to generate pipeline and win business.

• Track recruitment effectiveness through relevant KPIs.

• Maintain visibility of recruitment funnel health and forecast future partner acquisition opportunities.

• Provide regular market insight and channel growth recommendations to leadership, including on emerging integration and service-based business models within the partner ecosystem.
