Excellent communication, coordination, and relationship management skills

Preferred Experience

Experience in data infrastructure, databases, or enterprise software environments
Familiarity with partner-led sales motions and co-selling models
Background in managing or supporting complex, multi-party enterprise deals

What Sets This Role Apart

Focus on partner orchestration rather than direct sales ownership
Emphasis on quality and conversion over pipeline volume
High visibility role with direct impact on revenue generation
