• Enable partner sales teams: Equip partner relationship managers with the tools they need to deliver compelling communications, training, and enablement content for partner reps and independent sales organizations.
   
• Maximize visibility: Identify and lead our brands’ presence at exhibitions, trade shows, and sponsorship opportunities.
   
• Measure and optimize: Set KPIs, track performance, and continuously refine campaigns for greater impact.
   
• Lead with influence: Mentor and grow the partner marketing team, ensuring alignment with company goals and cross-functional success.

  • You’re a seasoned marketing generalist—you’re comfortable wearing many hats and have hands-on experience across content formats like blogs, email, video, and more.
     
  • Proven expertise in partner/channel marketing is an asset—including co-marketing, co-selling, and partner acquisition campaigns.
     
  • Skilled in planning and activating events, tradeshows, webinars, and community engagement.
     
  • Excellent project management skills, ability to keep initiatives on track, align stakeholders, and move ideas from concept to execution.
     
  • Familiarity with marketing automation, CRMs (e.g., HubSpot, Salesforce), and analytics tools.
     
• Leadership & Collaboration:
