  • Maintain and execute reseller agreements, including standard and non-standard terms impacting bookings, margins, and commissions

  • Support the operational workflows for marketplace transactions (AWS, Azure, GCP), including offer creation, credit/ license allocation, and system support. Ensure correct product mapping, pricing, discounts, and fees are reflected in marketplace offers and internal systems.
  • Build and maintain dashboards and reporting for partner performance (pipeline, bookings, ACV, margins, marketplace volume). Partner with Finance and Accounting to ensure accurate recognition of reseller business.
  • Analyze partner and channel performance to identify gaps, opportunities, and process improvements that increase productivity and profitability.
  • Ensure that partner fees, discounts, rebates, and incentives (MDF, SPIFFs, referral fees, marketplace fees, etc.) are correctly set up, tracked, and reconciled
  • Define and maintain data standards for partner accounts, contacts, registrations, and opportunities to ensure clean reporting

What You’ll Need:

  • 3–5+ years of experience in Partner Operations, Channel Operations, Revenue Operations, or Sales Operations at a B2B technology or SaaS company
  • Direct experience supporting both direct and indirect selling motions, including resellers, distributors, and cloud marketplaces
  • Strong working knowledge and experience supporting one or more cloud marketplaces (AWS Marketplace, Azure Marketplace, GCP Marketplace) including opportunity submission, tracking, and reporting
  • Experience with reseller and channel agreements, including discount structures, partner fees, and incentives
  • Hands-on experience with Salesforce (and ideally CPQ and/or PRM tools) for managing partner accounts, opportunities, and deal registration. Experience with designing and maintaining fields, workflows, integrations, and dashboards.
  • Advanced analytical skills with the ability to work with large data sets, build reports, and generate insights to inform decision-making
  • Proven ability to design, document, and improve processes, balancing governance with ease-of-use for internal teams and partners
  • Familiarity with SaaS revenue recognition and bookings policies related to indirect and marketplace deals is preferred
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills; able to collaborate effectively with Partner/Channel leadership, Sales, Finance, Legal, and external partners.
  • Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment
