• Hunt Net-New Partnerships — Recruit and sign net-new MSP partners
• Drive Pipeline & ARR — Generate net-new recurring revenue by moving partners from signed agreements to active, revenue-producing engagements. Pipeline ownership is a vital part of this role.
• Build & Execute a Target Account Plan — Work from a curated MSP target list to prioritize, sequence, and penetrate the right accounts.
• Navigate Complex, Multi-Stakeholder Sales Cycles — Engage executive sponsors, procurement, and technical leads simultaneously at MSP accounts. You are comfortable operating at multiple levels of an organization at once.
• Partner Internally — Collaborate cross-functionally with Sales Engineering, Product, Marketing, and Finance to deliver compelling proposals and world-class partner enablement.
• Report & Forecast Accurately — Maintain a clean, current pipeline in the Digi CRM; deliver weekly forecasts and participate in QBR checkpoints with leadership.
• Establish Repeatable Motion — Document what works. Build playbooks, onboarding frameworks, and enablement content that scale beyond you — laying the foundation for a channel business that grows.

• Demonstrated track record of hunting and closing large, complex MSP or service provider partnerships and relationships inside the US MSP and service provider ecosystem.
• Proven ability to sell managed connectivity, SD-WAN, WAN management, IoT, or adjacent networking solutions through an MSP channel.
• Strong executive presence — comfortable pitching VP/C-level at enterprise MSPs and navigating lengthy, multi-stakeholder procurement cycles.
• Self-starter mentality — this is a blank-canvas role; you must be comfortable building structure, not inheriting it.
