- Conduct regular business reviews with TSD partners to assess performance, align on pipeline, and identify growth opportunities.
- Represent DoiT at partner events, industry conferences, and TSD-hosted summits to strengthen brand presence and deepen relationships.
- Sub-Agent Recruitment & Activation
- Identify and target prospective sub-agent partners within the TSD ecosystem, building a robust recruitment pipeline of high-potential agents.
- Led outbound prospecting efforts through direct outreach, TSD partner events, industry networks, and hyperscaler referrals.
- Own the full activation journey from first contact through signed agreement, onboarding, and first deal — ensuring new sub-agents are set up for early success.
- Maintain accurate tracking of all prospecting activity, partner status, and activation milestones in CRM.
- Pitch, Discovery & Pipeline Development
- Lead compelling, confident introductory pitches of DoiT’s solutions to prospective sub-agents without requiring technical support in the room.
- Work with the sub-agent on executing customer deal registration for DoiT’s solutions.

- Collaborate with DoiT's Marketing team on TSD-specific campaigns, events and initiatives.
- Monitor and report on channel market trends, competitive dynamics, and partner ecosystem developments to inform DoiT's channel strategy.
- Partner Enablement
- Work alongside DoiT’s Partner Success Team to design and deliver enablement programs equipping TSD partner sales and technical teams to effectively position and sell DoiT solutions.
- Support sub-agent partners with the tools, materials, and knowledge they need to confidently position DoiT products in end-customer conversations.
- Partner with Product and Marketing to develop channel-ready collateral, playbooks, and co-branded materials tailored to TSD and sub-agent audiences.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Act as an advocate internally for both TSD partners and sub-agents — communicating partner needs, deal context, and escalation requests across the organization.
- Provide structured feedback to leadership, Product, and GTM Strategy teams on partner performance, competitive intelligence, and market signals from the field.
- Ensure clean deal registration, CRM accuracy, and pipeline hygiene across all partner-sourced opportunities.
- 7+ years of experience in channel sales, partner management, or indirect channel roles — with demonstrated success managing both TSD/distributor relationships and sub-agent or reseller recruitment.
- Proven ability to operate across both strategic partner management and outbound partner development within the same role or program.
- Deep understanding of TSD business models, channel economics, and the technology distribution landscape.
- Strong knowledge of cloud channel programs and partner ecosystems across AWS, Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure.
- Proven ability to lead an initial product pitch and structured discovery conversation independently, without requiring technical support.
- Experience working within FinOps, CloudOps, or cloud cost management domains is a significant advantage; curiosity and willingness to develop deep product knowledge is essential.
