ABOUT OUR CLIENT
Our client is building an ecosystem of technology, innovation, and intelligent solutions designed to solve real business challenges and create meaningful value across industries and markets.
As our partner ecosystem continues to grow, we are looking for a Partner Success Account Lead to ensure that our partners are not only successfully onboarded, but also fully enabled to understand, position, and grow with our client’s solutions.
This role will play a critical part in transforming signed partnerships into active, productive, and commercially successful relationships.
THE OPPORTUNITY
As a Partner Success Account Lead, you will take ownership of partner relationships once the initial commercial engagement and partnership agreement have been completed by our Sales team.
Your responsibility will be to ensure that every assigned partner understands our client’s value proposition, knows how our solutions can create value for their customers, and is actively identifying and developing new business opportunities.
This is not a traditional direct sales-closing role. Instead, you will sit at the intersection of Partner Management, Channel Sales, Account Management, Partner Enablement, and Commercial Growth.
You will work closely with partners to build strong account plans, review pipelines, identify growth opportunities, address underperformance, and ultimately ensure that our partner ecosystem generates measurable business impact and revenue for our client.
WHAT YOU’LL DO
Own Strategic Partner Relationships
- Become the primary relationship owner for assigned partners following the initial sales and contracting stage.
- Build trusted relationships across commercial, technical, operational, and leadership stakeholders.
- Develop a strong understanding of each partner’s business, customer base, market presence, and growth potential.
- Maintain structured engagement plans and regular partner reviews.
Enable Partners for Success
- Lead the successful onboarding and activation of newly signed partners.
- Ensure partners clearly understand our client’s products, solutions, use cases, value propositions, and differentiators.
- Equip partners with the knowledge and resources needed to confidently introduce our clients’ solutions to their customers/ partners/ integrators.
- Identify enablement gaps and coordinate appropriate training, product, technical, or commercial support.
Drive Partner-Generated Opportunities
- Work with partners to identify opportunities across their existing and prospective customer base.
- Monitor partner-generated leads, opportunities, pipeline development, and commercial progress.
- Conduct regular pipeline reviews and follow up on inactive, delayed, or underdeveloped opportunities.
- Help partners identify where our client’s solutions can solve customer challenges or create new business value.
- Bring in the right Sales, Solutions, Product, or Technical teams when deeper support is required.
Manage Partner Performance
- Track the commercial performance and productivity of assigned partners.
- Assess whether partners are generating sufficient leads, opportunities, and revenue.
- Identify partners that are underperforming or becoming inactive.
- Understand the root causes behind low engagement or limited business generation.
- Develop improvement plans that increase partner activity, capability, pipeline, and revenue contribution.
Build Structured Account Plans
- Develop partner account plans covering commercial objectives, pipeline, growth priorities, market opportunities, and key actions.
- Establish measurable objectives with partners.
- Conduct structured business reviews to assess progress, challenges, and opportunities.
- Maintain visibility of partner forecasts and expected revenue contribution.
- Provide regular updates to our client’s leadership on partner performance and strategic opportunities.
Collaborate Across Our Clients Ecosystem
- Work closely with Sales during the handover of newly signed partnerships.
- Partner with Solution Architects and technical teams to support customer opportunities.
- Collaborate with Marketing on partner campaigns and market-development activities.
- Capture partner and market feedback and share insights with internal Product and leadership teams.
- Ensure partners receive consistent, responsive, and high-quality experience across our client.
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
Success in this role means that our clients’ partners are not simply signed agreements - they are active, capable, commercially engaged, and consistently create business opportunities.
- Partners clearly understand our client’s value proposition and solutions.
- Newly signed partners become activated and productive quickly.
- Partners consistently introduce our client to relevant customer opportunities.
- Partner-generated pipeline continues to grow.
- Strong partners increase their revenue contribution over time.
- Underperforming partners are identified early and actively developed.
- Partner relationships are managed through structured account planning and business reviews.
- Our client has clear visibility in partner pipeline, performance, forecasts, and growth potential.
- Partners see our client as a strategic technology partner rather than simply another vendor.
Key performance measures may include partner-generated revenue, partner-sourced pipeline, qualified opportunities, partner activation, engagement levels, conversion rates, forecast accuracy, and partner growth.
