The posting
Greenfield/Hunter Account Manager (New Logo Acquisition) | Australia & New Zealand
While this posting is for a future hiring need rather than an immediate vacancy, Pax8 is continuing to invest in growth across ANZ and expects to hire multiple Greenfield/Hunter Account Managers in the coming months. If you're a new business hunter who thrives on winning new logos, we'd love to connect with you early and consider you for upcoming opportunities.
Shape the Future of Partner Growth This is not a traditional account management role. Our Greenfield/Hunter Account Managers are responsible for creating opportunities where none previously existed. You'll identify, engage, and convert ambitious managed service providers into successful Pax8 partners, helping them unlock new growth opportunities through cloud, cybersecurity, AI, and managed services solutions.
As Pax8 continues its rapid expansion across ANZ, we're building relationships with exceptional sales professionals who enjoy creating opportunities, building territory plans, and consistently winning new business. This role sits at the forefront of Pax8's AI-powered evolution, giving you the opportunity to grow alongside an organisation that is reshaping how technology reaches small and medium-sized businesses.
Why Pax8? Pax8 is redefining how technology reaches small and medium-sized businesses through the managed service provider channel. As Microsoft's Global Partner of the Year and one of the world's fastest-growing cloud marketplaces, we're helping partners embrace AI, automation, cybersecurity, and modern cloud solutions with confidence. You'll join a business that values innovation, ownership, collaboration, and continuous growth while giving you the freedom to make a genuine impact from day one.
