You will manage relationships with strategic System Integrators (SIs) such as Capgemini, PwC, HCLTech, and Deloitte, as well as technology partners like Fadata. Working closely with the regional sales organization, you will enable partner success, support joint sales pursuits, and help accelerate Earnix’s growth across the DACH market. Success in this role will be measured by the strength of partner relationships, partner readiness, pipeline creation, and partner-influenced revenue across the DACH region.

Build joint go-to-market plans with partners to generate pipeline and accelerate revenue growth across the DACH region.
Support partner-led sales opportunities by participating in customer meetings, joint account planning, solution positioning, and sales strategy.
