Job Description:

The Role
We are looking for a Senior Channel Sales Manager to join our Microsoft Channel team. This is a quota-carrying role focused on driving annual recurring revenue (ARR) through our Microsoft-certified reseller and VAR partner network, primarily partners selling Jet (BI/reporting) and Quick Planning into the Dynamics 365 Business Central ecosystem.

You will own a portfolio of active reseller partners and will work closely with strategic partners through structured joint business plans; building the relationships, enablement, and co-selling motions needed to make those partnerships genuinely productive.

This is a remote role based in the United States. Travel is required (up to 50%) for partner meetings, joint customer engagements, and industry events.

Key Responsibilities
Meet or exceed your ARR quota through partner-sourced and partner-influenced reseller deals. This is the most critical KPI for the role.

Aggressively grow existing Microsoft channel pipeline by enabling partners, executing joint go-to-market plans, and systematically activating additional insightsoftware solutions.

Develop and execute joint business plans with your top reseller partners, covering pipeline targets, go-to-market activities, and quarterly business reviews (QBRs).

Build and maintain strong pipeline through account mapping, co-selling, and co-marketing initiatives with partners.

Enable partners to position and sell insightsoftware solutions effectively; applying the Engage 12 Enable 12 Empower framework to drive partner readiness and sustained productivity.

Manage channel conflict professionally and in line with insightsoftware's rules of engagement.

Coordinate internal resources; including sales, marketing, customer success, and technical support to meet partner expectations and performance objectives.

Monitor and respond to competitive activity in the Microsoft ecosystem, with particular focus on protecting and expanding share against direct competitors.

Maintain accurate Salesforce records and provide reliable pipeline forecasts; conduct monthly and quarterly business reviews with internal leadership.

Required Qualifications
Minimum 5 years of channel sales experience in the software industry, with a track record of achieving quota through reseller or VAR partnerships.

Demonstrable experience managing joint business plans and running structured QBR processes with partners.

Proven ability to activate new partner sellers and bring them to productive status.

Experience selling add-on or complementary software products through a partner channel, where insightsoftware is not the partner's primary vendor.

Knowledge of co-marketing techniques and experience running demand generation activities with partners.

Comfortable operating in a portfolio model: balancing high-touch engagement with strategic partners alongside broader territory management across tiered accounts.

Strong commercial acumen with the ability to build a pipeline plan and work toward revenue targets.

Excellent verbal and written communication skills; able to engage credibly at both sales and executive levels within partner organizations.

Proficiency with Salesforce and disciplined in pipeline hygiene and forecasting.

Bachelor's degree.

Able to travel up to 50% as required.

Desirable Skills
Experience forging revenue-oriented partnerships within the Microsoft ecosystem; ideally Dynamics 365 Business Central, F&O, or adjacent.

Familiarity with finance, ERP, or business intelligence software ecosystems.

Familiarity with FP&A and reporting/BI tools (Jet, Power BI, or similar).

Additional Information
All your information will be kept confidential according to EEO guidelines.
