Google Alliance & Channel Lead

Company Description

AppXite is a digital marketplace, CPQ and Billing platform for Telco, SaaS, Cloud and AI services enabling partners to build and monetize as-a-services offerings with flexible pricing models like Pay-Go, peak usage, reservations, pay per token, per outcome delivered or AI compute. Platform capabilities include pre-built vendor and catalog integrations with Microsoft, Google, AWS, Adobe, VMware and other worlds largest vendors.

Job Description

As a Google Alliance & Channel Lead, you will own AppXite's Google relationship across both Google Cloud (GCP) and Google Workspace: Partner Advantage program mechanics, the reseller / distributor operating model (Partner Sales Console, Cloud Channel API), commercial constructs, and enablement of AppXite's channel customers. Single accountable owner for everything Google in the AppXite ecosystem.

Key responsibilities:
Vendor alliance & program management:

• Serve as primary contact for Google partner development managers and distribution counterparts.
• Own AppXite's Partner Advantage standing: engagement models (Sell/Service/Build), tier requirements, certification and credential counts, and the 2026 tier transition.
• Monitor Workspace channel model changes (direct-to-indirect shifts, distributor authorization requirements) and their impact on AppXite customers.

Commercial & incentive economics

• Model Google partner incentives, discounts, and margin structures for both Workspace (seat-based) and GCP (consumption), and their flow-through on the platform.
• Support commercial constructs for GCP committed-use, marketplace, and Workspace SKU/edition transitions.

Channel enablement:

• Enable distributors and resellers on Partner Advantage onboarding, Sell authorization, customer transfers, and Partner Sales Console / Cloud Channel API-based operations.
• Own certification planning for channel customers where program tiers require certified individuals.

Product & platform liaison:

• Act as domain expert for product and engineering on the Cloud Channel API, Workspace provisioning, GCP billing exports, and marketplace integration.
• Prioritize Google-related roadmap items; validate platform behavior against Google program and API reality.

Go-to-market & growth:

• Drive Google-attributable pipeline across existing customers and new logos; position AppXite's Google capabilities in sales cycles.
• Represent AppXite in Google partner forums and joint go-to-market activities.

Qualifications

Must have:

• 5–7 years in partner management, channel sales, or business development in cloud / SaaS.
• Working knowledge of Google Partner Advantage: engagement models, tiers, credential requirements, and the two-tier (distributor-led) reseller model.
• Understanding of both Workspace (per-seat SaaS) and GCP (consumption) commercial models - this dual fluency is the differentiator versus a Workspace-only or GCP-only background.
• Experience working with or through distributors, resellers, or MSPs.
• Fluent English; comfortable across European time zones.

Strongly preferred:

• Prior role at a Google distributor / premier partner or a cloud commerce platform.
• Exposure to Cloud Channel API-based reselling or Partner Sales Console operations.
• Google Cloud Digital Leader certification and/or Partner Advantage sales credentials - or commitment within 3 months; these count toward AppXite's capacity requirements.
• Experience with cloud marketplaces and co-sell motions

Success measures (first 12 months)

• Google-attributable platform GMV/revenue growth (Workspace and GCP tracked separately).
• Customer activation: number of AppXite customers transacting Google via the platform.
• Partner Advantage tier maintained or advanced through the 2026 tier changes; credential counts met.
• Zero customer disruption through Google channel model and program transitions.
