Description

Are you a channel sales manager in the enterprise software industry seeking a transformative opportunity? If fostering relationships and directly contributing to the growth of your channel partners excite you, then GFI Software has an exceptional proposition for you. At IgniteTech and GFI Software, we're opening doors to an exceptional tech career, welcoming those who've honed their AI skills to elevate their expertise in a dynamic, aggressive environment. We're offering a rare chance where your primary focus will be to further expand your proficiency in LLMs, GenAI and how to use that to drive a tech company forward.

We're charting a new course in enterprise software sales, emphasizing collaboration and partnership over traditional direct selling. We understand the challenges of conventional sales roles - the stressful juggling of direct and indirect sales targets, the unpredictable compensation cycles, and the exhausting travel demands. We have reshaped these factors into a more appealing, effective, and rewarding structure.

In this role, you will use your account management prowess to drive channel sales across a broad portfolio of security, collaboration, and network management applications targeting small and medium enterprises. You'll create detailed sales forecasts, devise robust partner strategy plans, and influence strategic deals while co-selling with partners.

Another exciting factor here is the diversity of our partners; spanning from telecommunications to digital asset management. Each of these industries requires a unique software solution, adding a stimulating level of complexity to your role. You'll be a critical component in ensuring the relationship and customer base continues to expand within these varied landscapes.

If you're a quick learner and a highly organized individual possessing exemplary communication skills, apply now and step into a collaborative, fast-paced environment where every win is celebrated as a team!

What you will be doing

  • Driving business growth by empowering and collaborating with a diverse network of channel partners
  • Gaining a deep understanding of our products to inform and educate channel partners
  • Regularly reviewing performance and strategy with your partners to help them reach their revenue targets

What you will NOT be doing

  • Directly selling to end-user customers
  • Prioritizing the quantity of interactions over the quality of your engagements with partners
  • Worrying about unpredictable earnings and relentless travel demands

Key responsibilities

  • Being a key contributor in developing and expanding channel sales in a large region and making sure GFI is the go-to solution for small and medium enterprises

Candidate requirements

  • Previous experience working with GenAI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Bard)
  • 3+ years of indirect/channel sales experience for enterprise software products (if your only sales experience is direct sales, then you will be rejected for this role later in the application process)
  • Experience leading a territory/region in channel sales
  • Availability to work a schedule that has at least 90% overlap with standard working hours in North America (between GMT-5:00 and GMT-8:00)
  • A grasp of AI, Large Language Models (LLMs), and prompt engineering, including Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting and Self-Consistency in CoT

About Crossover

What you will learn

The CAM is an account management and emotional intelligence ninja. You have to learn different softwares, different industries, different business models, different cultures and different practices. If learning how to navigate that kind of environment does NOT stimulate and excite you, then this probably is not the role for you. 

Our partners work in telecoms, big oil, digital asset management, data warehousing, utility expenses management, mining and more. All of these are industries and different software solutions and applications which are incredibly unique and niche to each of our partners' businesses. It is the CAM's job to figure out how to support and make sure the relationship and customer base continue to expand.
