Purpose of role

You will own a mid‑market territory and grow ARR by co‑selling with strategic partners to help merchants, brands, and 3PLs modernise delivery management with nShift.

Overall responsibility

Partner development & co-sell

Build and execute joint business plans with priority partners (carriers, 3PLs, SIs/VARs, ERP/WMS/TMS & E‑commerce platforms), including target account lists, campaigns, enablement, and quarterly reviews.

• Drive partner‑sourced pipeline : enable solution positioning, qualify jointly, register deals, and run co‑sell motions from discovery to close.

Territory ownership

• Own full‑cycle sales—from prospecting and discovery to solution mapping, value creation, negotiation, and close—across a defined mid‑market ICP .

• Maintain a clean, accurate pipeline and forecast using Salesforce and our Prospecting tooling.

Deal discipline & forecasting

• Qualify rigorously (MEDDPPICC/BANT), document close plans, and hold weekly deal reviews with your manager & Revenue Operations.

Cross‑functional collaboration

• Partner with Professional Services to ensure scoping aligns to ARR (recurring) and NRR (implementation) value drivers and supports rapid go‑live.

• Share customer insights to help Marketing optimise campaigns, webinars, and regional programs that feed mid‑market demand.
