We are seeking a Partner Sales Manager I to join our growing Partner Sales organization. This high-impact, flexible role is responsible for driving revenue growth across regions and pods by executing partner-attached deals wherever coverage is needed. Rather than owning a fixed territory, this Partner Sales Manager I provides surge capacity across the organization - stepping into pods when an colleague is out, absorbing excess deal volume, and ensuring partner-attached opportunities close cleanly regardless of region.
It's worth being precise about the distinction between our two partner-facing roles, because they are different jobs:
- PAMs (Partner Account Managers) are partner-facing. They own and develop the business around a specific partner - building the joint plan, the relationship, and the long-term motion with that partner.
- RPMs (Regional Partner Managers) are partner-agnostic. They execute partner-attached deals in their region or pod, working with whatever partner is on a given deal. RPMs are about deal execution, not partner development.
This role is deal-execution focused, but with the added expectation of mobility across pods and regions. This is a deal-execution role, not a partner-development or operations role.
WHAT YOU'LL DO Partner-Attached Deal Execution- Pick up and execute partner-attached deals in whatever pod or region needs coverage, working alongside the in-region sales team to drive opportunities to close.
- Work partner-agnostically across resellers, distributors, SIs, cloud marketplaces, and ISVs - matching the right partner motion to each deal.
- Drive deal progression: remove blockers, coordinate partner and field activity, and push opportunities through the sales cycle.
- Manage end-of-quarter execution, including reseller transaction paths and deal logistics, to ensure deals land cleanly.
Coverage & Mobility- Provide coverage for pods when the assigned RPM is out (leave, travel, transition).
- Step into regions carrying excess deal volume and pick up live opportunities with minimal ramp.
- Serve as surge capacity during peak periods, especially end-of-quarter close.
- Ramp quickly into unfamiliar pods - get up to speed on in-flight deals, the partners involved, and the field team fast.
Sales Alignment & Co-Sell Execution- Work closely with Box's regional Enterprise Account Executives and RVPs to align partner motions to priority accounts and opportunities.
- Act as a trusted advisor to the sales team on partner capabilities, programs, and deal structuring.
- Drive joint account planning, opportunity mapping, and multi-touch engagement strategies with partners.
- Influence and support deal cycles by incorporating partners to enhance Box's value proposition.
- Deliver regular pipeline reviews and partner performance updates to sales leadership.
Forecast Participation- Submit weekly partner-attached forecast for whatever pod(s) being covered, following the standard partner forecast process (Commit / ML / Best Case, with deal-backed path to target).
- Apply deal-level judgment on opportunities being carried, including a clear view of what it takes to bring deals into the forecast.
Cross-Functional Leadership- Partner with internal stakeholders including Marketing, Sales Operations, Deal Desk, Legal, and Product to support partner execution and scalability.
- Collaborate with partner solutions engineers, marketing, and enablement teams to support execution.
- Ensure compliance with Box's partner policies and programs, and advocate for continuous improvement.
Market Intelligence & Evangelism- Stay informed on industry trends, partner landscape, and competitor moves across covered regions.
- Represent Box at partner events, industry conferences, and joint customer engagements.
